Try overriding using a local PHP.ini file. If this doesn't work, you'll need to speak with your host to see what's going on - they may not give access to do this.
Nail -> Head.
This just comes from a true lack of understanding of how a CMS (not just Joomla!) should function, the developer is probably new to Joomla!, used to how static stuff is coded, and couldn't be arsed to learn how to do things properly.
Good luck with that...30-40 hours work in the space of 2 days? :)
Arno is a Joomla! designer/UX idol. He has more tricks in his bag then I will hope to have in a lifetime. His processes and approaches are very well developed. Shows in his work.
I missed your very good daydream, which you should not end!
We have a Joomla! 1.6 Template Guide group. It might make sense for us to put heads together and try to do something that would be helpful for us - reasonably small - and create a cheat sh…

100% agree, and I often have the sam…
Oooo. Fancy. I like it.
Thank you for bringing this issue forward, and to Gergo for sharing a bit of his brilliance. He has been part of the Joomla! 1.6 Release Team, an obvious excellent choice. He also said he might join us here soon, which would be very good for us :)
LOL, that's incredible - didn't I say it would be something simple?! :)
Much better than my schoolboy effort ;)
Thanks Amy!

Gergő Erdősi responded to my Tweet with a solution I was hoping to see!
$id = JSite::getMenu()->getActive()->tree[0];
Now, that's what I love about Joomla! development. That'll get you your Top Level Item ID. Sheer elegance. W00t!
"It's a good question. Having professional designers in a focused space, like this, asking these types of questions can help make it easier to find helpful improvements."
Yep, you're right - I never thought of it like that. And the same technique c…
Well, maybe It's just wishful thinking on my part, to hope that a function, like the one you just created, would already be available.

- Thanks for jumping in and joining us. There is a place to introduce yourself, if you wish. Lots of good discussions going on, thanks for jumping in. Look forward to getting to know you and learning how to wrestle Joomla! into submission right along your side.
