The problem that I discovered is that the captcha appears in Joomla at the very top of the page when it is used on a form. Its being positioned there with CSS in the joomla.css in the templates/css folder. You can modify the code to position it use relative instead of absolute references, or better still just comment out the line and position the captcha in your HTML page.

Search for recaptcha_widget_div in joomla.css and you’ll find something similar to the following code:

/* Compatibility */
#recaptcha_widget_div {position: absolute;top: -140px;}

Comment out the recapthca_widget_div line and the captcha will appear where you define it.

/* Remove blue box from logo. */

span#logo-color {display: none}

The first option is modify all the shortcuts in the Edge animation and fix the links so that it will work. If you need to modify the animation at a later date in Edge, you will have to repeat this process again which is not a good use of your time.

An easier solution is to copy the Edge animation to your Joomla site (such as in the images folder) and use Joomla’s Wrapper module to display it. If you need to incorporate the animation in a module, embed it with an iframe:

<iframe width=”550” height=”400” frameborder=”0” src=”http://www.domain.com/images/animation/”>
</frame>

where animation is the folder containing your Edge Animation files.

You can create a loop using JavaScript with the following steps:

1. Move the timeline marker to the end of the animation (see below).
2. Insert a trigger (press Timeline on menu bar and select Insert Trigger).
3. Enter this.play (0); below function(sym, e).

You can’t preview the looping in Edge Animate, but it does work in a web browser.

The stored procedure below will add the appropriate entries to jos_extensions and jos_template_styles in your database. The prefix (jos_) for your tables is probably different so you’ll need to modify the script to match the actual value.

———-[ createtemplate.sql ] ————————————

DELIMITER //

CREATE PROCEDURE CreateTemplate (IN sTemplateName VARCHAR (255))
  BEGIN
    INSERT INTO jos_extensions (name, type, element, client_id, enabled, access, protected, manifest_cache, params, checked_out, checked_out_time, ordering, state)
      VALUES (sTemplateName, ‘template’, sTemplateName, 0, 1, 1, 0, ‘{}’, ‘{}’, 0, ’0000-00-00 00:00:00′, 0, 0);

    INSERT INTO jos_template_styles (template, client_id, home, title, params)
      VALUES (sTemplateName, 0, 0, sTemplateName, ‘{}’);
  END //

DELIMITER ;

———-[ createtemplate.sql ] ————————————

After you run the script, a stored procedure will be created in your database and you can run the following query to install your template:

         CALL CreateTemplate (‘my_template’);

where my_template is the name of the template that you are installing.

You can download the SQL script here.

In order to restart these services and fix the Error 1001, you need to open the PDM Server folder which is usually located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Adenium Systems\PDM Server and unregister all services with UnRegisterService.bat. After this is complete, services need to be registered with Windows using RegisterService.bat.

The next step is to start all of the services associated with DFS:

• DFS Order PreProcessor Version 3.4
• McGraw-Hill Construction Company Transfer Queue Processor Version 3.4
• McGraw-Hill Construction Project File Transfer Queue Processor Version 3.4
• McGraw-Hill Construction Project Transfer Queue Processor Version 3.4
• PDM Notification Processor Version 3.4

The PDM Notification Processor needs Log On in its properties to be set to an account that can access the vault. The administrator account can be used here.

There is a bug with the shortcuts in the Start menu which breaks services when an app from the PDM folder is run. You should not run apps through the Start menu and either run them directly from the DFS Server folder or pin them to the Taskbar in Windows Server 2008.

In Windows 7, you need to make changes in the Group Policy Editor to turn off thumbnail caching.

1. Press Windows-R to get a run dialog box.
2. Enter gpedit.msc and press the OK button.
3. This will open the Local Group Policy Editor. Go to User Configuration –> Administrative Templates –> Windows Components –> Windows Explorer. Double click the “Turn off the caching of thumbnails …” option.

   

4. In the next dialog box, select Disabled and press the OK button to turn off thumbnail caching.

   

The same procedure is necessary for Windows Vista to modify thumbnail caching.

There are subtitles in English for those who don’t understand the native language.

This would actually be an interesting universal error message for web sites and apps. It doesn’t help the developer narrow down the problem, but its straight to the point that a feature failed. Fortunately, no developer would use an error message like this since it makes our lives more difficult in identifying a problem and replicating it.

An important thing to keep in mind here is that when a user claims to get an error that’s impossible, we need to remain polite when speaking to them. Keep customers happy by solving their problems and don’t make them feel like fools when they make mistakes, don’t use features correctly, or find bugs. Our customers pay our bills, so be nice to them.
