How To Use Custom CSS For TinyMce 2.0 For Joomla 1.5

Ok, I was annoyed by this editor. It comes by default with Joomla 1.5. So you can easily use a special CSS file just for the editor and remove all the unnecessary code like the body background..

Basically I left only few lines like for H1 – H4 and some custom CSS highlighting options.

In the admin section of your Joomla 1.5 site you just go to Plugin manager and click on Editor - TinyMCE 2.0. And in this picture you just insert the path to your CSS editor custom file, for example path to my file is this

/templates/renoseowebdesign/css/editor_content.css

And the code that I have in my CSS looks like this:

Fixing CSS Joomla Problems With Disabled Right Modules

E-mail
CMS - Content Management Systems

I just needed to figure this out today. Joomla is one of my favorite CMS beside Drupal an it allows you to manually enable and disable modules for each page.

For example if you have a banner in the right block of your site, like I do on my site, you can easily enable or disable that block, so the banner will appear or it will be hidden for each page.

You can do this easily in the admin section of Joomla.

But the problems appears with the CSS, if you don't fix it. In template you need to fix php hooks, that are calling for CSS ids.

What this means is that If you don’t want the right blocks to show on your page like for example on this page http://www.seoandwebdesign.com/photoshop_creations.html you need to increase the width of the center part. You can do this with making another id for the center par in your CSS file.

Here is the example. My center part id is named  #centerpadding and this is the CSS code:

#centerpadding {
    width:645px;
    /*background: url(../images/centerbackground.png) repeat;*/
    float:left;
    padding-left: 10px;        
    }


So if you don’t increase the width from 645px to let’s say 790, like it is set in my template, you will see an ugly empty space in the right part of your site. So you need to use a php hook in template index.php file that looks like this.


<?php if($this->countModules('right')) : ?>
            <div id="centerpadding" >
                <?php else: ?>
</div>
            <div id="centerpaddingfull" >           
                <?php endif; ?>


This means that if on a page the right modules are enabled, it will call the centerpadding CSS id, and if it is not, it will call a very similar CSS id called #centerpaddingfull and this is it’s code.

#centerpaddingfull {
    width:790px;
    /*background: url(../images/centerbackground.png) repeat;*/
    float:left;
    padding-left: 5px;        
    }



As you can see the width is 790px so the center part extends to the right and fills the right empty gap.

If you would like to disable left modules, instead or right ones, you could use this code in index.php code:

<?php if($this->countModules('left')) : ?>
            <div id="centerpadding" >
                <?php else: ?>
</div>
            <div id="centerpaddingfull" >
                
            
                <?php endif; ?>


……..etc



 

USD vs. EUR - Weak Dollar

I am doing business with USA companies and I am European so I am suffering when the USD is weak. These days USD is getting weaker again, the exchange rate is 1.40, 1 month ago it was 1.25, almost like it was 3 years ago.

I hope USD will become strong again, when I convert USD in EUR with PayPal I feel the consequences if the USD is weak.

I think getting into FOREX is good, I need to research more. Somebody from my bank told me 1 year ago, I should keep USD, and not to change them. But I was stubborn and changed them for EUR, when the USD was the weakest, conversion at that time was I think 1.60, if I would wait few more months; I could loose less, when the conversion was 1.25.
 

UFC - Did you watch Silva vs. Rampage

I am super fan of UFC, but I hate that slimy bastard Dana White, he seems to be such a douche!!!!

Did you watch mighty Silva vs. Rampage. It was amazing, I remember mighty Pride when Rampage was beaten by Silva 2 times.

I miss Pride, it was Japanese UFC, I miss it a lot. Many fighters did not transition well, of course I am talking about Crocop, he was unbeatable, he even broke Silva ribs in one fight, but when he came to UFC, everything collapsed.

I missed Pride because UFC is like cage animal fight, Pride had only ropes and fighters were more flexible and ground game was different.

I miss Crocop, he was the real fighter, but in UFC they just cant do it. I hate Dana is messing with Tito Ortiz, Couture, he is just a slimy bastard if you ask me.

I never liked Silva, but somehow he became likeable. Pride fighters are just loosing game in UFC.

And Minotauro Nogueira, he never lost a match in Pride, not even towards Mirko Crocop, he was never KO!!!! And here the first real match, Frank Mir KO him.

I still like UFC, but they destroyed Pride.

Here is a pic from Pride, Crocop vs. Silva

I always had kind of problems with Drupal and wysiwyg editors, as you know Drupal can be very complicated for the newbies, because it usually needs so many things to be enabled in administration section of Drupal, many people give up.  

So I just tested this module openWYSIWYG for mighty Drupal and it is really cool, it supports the image upload, and that is the most important thing for me, other editors just allow an url to the image location and that is useless.   I tested fck editor or tinymce and both are great but installation is more complicated. So for newbies I really warmly suggest this WYSIWYG editor, installation is super quick and easy.   Here are the steps 

 Installation Instructions: 

1. Extract to sites/all/module/openwysiwyg/
2. Enable the openWYSIWYG module in Drupal (admin/build/modules). 

 Happy holidays, here is my latest picture eating is a great restaurant with my friends.

Is Google Messing With The Traffic Because Of Adwords

Is Google Messing With The Traffic Because Of Adwords


Recently we opted for some adwords, like 50 USD a day. Till then everything was ok and we were planning to target only few keywords. Till that day we had like 400 unique visitors and the first day after I’ve setup the adwords the traffic dropped to 250.

Is this a coincidence, or is Google playing with us. I am not sure. But I became suspicious because I’ve read some stories about that some time ago.

There are people who believe that Google is trying to push people to spend more on adwords and is degrading their organic listings because of that.

Others don’t believe it.

So what is the truth. I am shocked that this might be true. And scared at the same time.

Here is the picture of the traffic. A night before traffic dropped to 276 we started adwords again. So judge it yourself. Is google evil monster?
