By default Apache 2 is configured in a way that phpmyadmin is automatically included to all the hosted web sites. For example, if I create a new site ‘site.com’, and then navigate to this address:
http://site.com/phpmyadmin
the phpmyadmin login page appears.
There is a new option in Joomla 3.8.2 allowing to get rid of ID in URLs (thanks to Ian who discovered it). If you have an older Joomla version and unable to update to 3.8.2 or higher follow the steps provided below:
Open components\com_content\router.php in an editor and make a small changes:
in function ContentBuildRoute(&$query) replace line 27
$advanced = $params->get('sef_advanced_link', 0);
with
$advanced = $params->get('sef_advanced_link', 1);
in function ContentParseRoute($segments) replace line 208
$advanced = $params->get('sef_advanced_link', 0);
with
$advanced = $params->get('sef_advanced_link', 1);
After working a little with phpDesigner, I felt that, probably, I need more complex PHP IDE. Because I previously worked with Java applications using Eclipse I decided to add PHP support to my existing Eclipse for Java EE (Helios) installation previously downloaded from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/. I navigated to Help->Install New Software in Eclipse, selected “–All Available Sites—“, searched for “php” and got the same plugin in three different categories:
On my PC with 6GB of RAM under Windows 7 the paging file size is set to 6014 MB by default (its initial size is equal to amount of RAM, as follows from article Change the size of virtual memory on Microsoft’s website):
In general, getting EF work with MySQL is a fairly simple task, that could be accomplished by downloading and installing ADO.NET driver for MySQL. But what concerns to me, it taken me about four hours to clarify some MySQL-specific details that affect generation of associations in Model Designer. Also after doing an experimentation with the code I realized that ADO.NET driver for MySQL, as well as other third party ADO.NET drivers, do not support “MARS” and, as far as I see, this significant restriction makes EF unusable with MySQL in large real-life projects. Please read below if you interested in more information on this questions.

Recently I have started investigating VirtueMart 2.0.6. Below I recorded various issues that I have found along the way. Hopefully someone else (possibly myself down the line) will find these useful.
Create directory /home/test1/vmfiles:
mkdir /home/test1/vmfiles
Go to Configuration->Templates, enter the path:
![SNAGHTML215b44db[4]](https://developernote.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/SNAGHTML215b44db4.png "SNAGHTML215b44db[4]")
and press Save button.
Sometimes the ability to see the data at design time significantly facilitates the creation of WPF controls. If I am developing a WPF control with complex UI using data bound controls, I usually define a property for accessing some typical data item:
public static ComplexData DesignTimeItem
{
get
{
using (DatabaseContext db = new DatabaseContext())
{
var products = from p in db.products.Include("ProductType")
where p.product_id == 131
select p;
product product = products.First();
return new ComplexData(product, "100 kg");
}
}
}
By default, Apache on Ubuntu executes all PHP scripts under www-data user, hence in situations where multiple mutually distrusting users have the possibility to put their PHP scripts on the server they could potentially spy on each other private data.
For example, the user user1 could put a PHP script that access file ‘file1.txt’ belonging to user2:
echo file_get_contents("/home/user2/www/file1.txt");
There are a lot of plugins for adding footers to WordPress posts and one of them is so called “Add Post URL” plugin written by some Chinese guys. From my perspective, its benefits includes macros support and ability to decide whether or not to display the footer for each post individually. It worked fine for me and I even improved it a little bit. The following code snippet shows how I added “post_id” macro:
$footer_text = $posturl_options['footer_text'];
$footer_text = trim($footer_text);
if (!empty($footer_text))
{
//remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' );
$post_id = get_the_ID();
$footer_text = str_replace("%post_id%", $post_id, $footer_text);
$footer_text = str_replace("%site_url%", site_url('/'), $footer_text);
$footer_text = str_replace("%site_name%", get_bloginfo('sitename'), $footer_text);
$footer_text = str_replace("%post_url%", get_permalink(), $footer_text);
$footer_text = str_replace("%post_title%", the_title('', '', false), $footer_text);
$footer_text = stripslashes($footer_text);
$text .= $footer_text;
}
Windows Live Writer is configured for working with WordPress multi-site the same way as with normal single-site WordPress installation, but WordPress works a bit differently in multi-site and single-site configurations. The difference consists in a few lines of code in wp-includes/class-wp-xmlrpc-server.php:
function wp_getUsersBlogs( $args ) {
global $current_site;
// If this isn't on WPMU then just use blogger_getUsersBlogs
if ( !is_multisite() ) {
array_unshift( $args, 1 );
return $this->blogger_getUsersBlogs( $args );
}
//single-site verion...
}
