Gary Brooks replied to Techbot's discussion 'Joomla for Jobs and Joomla for schools:' in the group Learning

Rob, We see that schools need help learning new technologies. Some schools would never be able to pay for the resources needed to run a large stack to setup dozens of sites. CloudAccess.net has a program we are building to help kids…

Joomla for Jobs and Joomla for schools:

If anybody keeps an eye on Irish news they will know we are dealing with two major IT related problems in Ireland. There is a skills shortage in IT and a deficiency in Math education.

Love this idea. Would you please repost it in the Learning Group? Maybe we can do a better job of getting attention on it. We are closing the home page forums for simplification. Thanks!

Techbot - would you please repost this in the Developer Group and link to this discussion? We are closing all the home page forum threads. Thanks!

We will have a FAQ item in the About this site group where this can be further discussed if there are changes we need to make to the FAQ Item. We are trying to close this Forum on the home page, so I will close this item now - and please feel free…

Amy, you could have dropped the last 6 words of your first sentence. Would have saved you some digital ink :)

Amy Stephen replied to Techbot's discussion 'Overrides Repository'

Techbot - would you mind reposting this either in the Templates Group or the Developers Group?. I *do* want to see a repository, BTW. This is an often raised issue. We are going to try to use the Group forums for discussions and I don't want…

There are lawyers that will tell you this and others that will tell you something completely different and only court could decide which side is right and which is not. And even that decision would be valid only for the country of the court's…

Techbot replied to Peter van Westen (NoNumber!)'s discussion 'Getting started with the Nooku framework'

It doesn't look to me like there are too many pre-requisites. Not even considering the lengths people will go to, to install a plugin (ion cube anybody?) or the fact that site builders actually enjoy testing extensions - no matter what they…

Techbot replied to Peter van Westen (NoNumber!)'s discussion 'Show module on all pages except... (revisited)'

Gonna try this out now. Correct me if I'm wrong but this serves a bigger function than simply negating the need to turn on a said module each time a menu item is added. (tedious but at least do-able) It also address the issue that unless a…

I was really late in upgrading to J1.5. I have a half built component for managing a streaming radio station and intend to build a suite of additions for it. I'm a staunch supporter of open source and detest encrypted php. I am SuperAdmin for about 20 Clients. I work exclusively in Joomla.
