could someone please explain why I am unable to install a new template - error recieved is

ERROR: Could not find a Joomla! XML setup file in the package.

First off it saying it cant find the xml file, so expand the file locally.... I bet you found another archive inside an archive, and no xml file... thats the issue, lets expand that other archive and lets look in it... does it have an xml file?

B-I-N-G-O

Try installing the archive you found in the first archive

When you Make a Change in Firebug to HTML / CSS Does it Save it to the Actual Files?

Recently someone I introduced to firebug asked the above question...

Um no..., If it did, I would edit google to this site and um ebay... and um paypal, yeah wait not... I would edit everyones email address for being paid to my own yeah... Thats what I would do.. and you should

Firebug only edits files client side so you dont have to find that bug in firefox and keep uploading with ftp or scp to your server. It never asked for a username or password did it? Or a server addresss or a port number?

No... So if you fixed the site in firebug, make those changes to your file and upload them.

This article is dedicated to aod2006, I love you too

Putting / Inserting PHP Into an Article / Content

DirectPHP - a plugin that allows direct embedding of PHP commands right inside Joomla content page!

Joomla PHP Pages Component - allows you to create simple PHP pages and link them to the Joomla Menu. This allows you to easily create a custom page without having to create a whole component. It is similar to the PHP Module for Joomla, except that it is a full Component.

Custom PHP Content Plugin - is a mambot mambot/plugin that allows you to place custom PHP inside a Joomla mambot, thus allowing you to modify the Joomla Articles before it is displayed. A very powerful tool if you are familiar with how Joomla implements mambots/plugins, but can also be used for simple addition of PHP code into your content.

AMFPHP - is a way to provide Flash/Flex remoting services on an Apache/PHP platform instead of requiring your server to be a Cold Fusion server. J-AMFPHP add AMFPHP as a plugin for Joomla, exposing the Joomla API to AMFPHP services. This has the benefit of using all the Joommla core API for managing the database, connecting with other components and modules, etc, without rewriting everything a second time. This component is for developers only! It is intended to make it easier for developers to build front-end Flash modules and components driven by Joomla content. This is not meant for end-users or general site administrators who are not familiar with developing their own modules and plugins. Make sure to install the additional Discovery Service plugin if you intend to use the AMFPHP browser. Also, try out the Example Services plugin to see how easy it is to build your own services as Joomla plugins.

PHP Shell - Gives administrators limited shell access to their server using Martin Geisler's PHP Shell 2 in the Joomla Admin backend.

IncludePHP - a plugin that allows direct embedding of PHP commands right inside Joomla content page!

All Native in 1.5 All found on JED!

404 Joomla Error Page Not Found Hi, I deleted the main menu module and menu and now I'm getting a 404 Joomla error on the public page. I haven't done much with this installation, what did I delete that I shouldn't have? Um how about deleted the main menu? if you dont wanna show it disable it. It has a property called Default, Without a defalt users coming to the site with no home.html or index.html or index.php

Disable it so its not shown but still used

Ok. So what can I do now?

How about in your module manager where you deleted it click New Module

Menu -> Next

Fill in Title, Select, Enable No (we are doing this already because you deleted it) Select mainmenu in Menu Name field and I hope I didnt have to animate this to make you know your to click Save next

And as Jeff Foxworthy would say, Here is 'Your Sign'

Everyone thank deltaray2 for this article
