Joomla - Default login/logout page

-
If you accidentally removed the component in your page. You can manually access the page via
http://<your-site.com>/index.php?option=com_user&view=login

As for the Logout link,
http://<your-site.com>/index.php?option=com_user&task=logout

I find that this is particularly useful when maintaining the site for client who does not want user registration functionality.

Customising Login links to User-friendly link

For those who are new to Joomla here are the steps to create a user-friendly link (or alias) for the login page. For example, user will be able to login via, http://<your-webpage>/login.

Its pretty straight-forward, so I've screenshot the steps below.





Customising the layout of the login page

If you are looking for the layout of the login form, you can FTP to /components/com_user/views/login/tmpl/ folder to edit the files.

    You mean changing the layout or changing the links to the page. If its the latter, I don't think you can change the link, but you can add a alias (user-friendly link) to point to the login page in your site.

    Anyway, I've updated the page. Hope it helps.

    Heard about this site from my friend. He pointed me here and told me I’d

    answered. Didn’t even take long to find it. Love the fact that you made
    it so easy for people like me. More power

[Azure Websites PHP] Cross Domain request results in blank response page after Preflight HTTP OPTIONS

THE PROBLEM I've deployed a REST API application ( CodeIgniter with Phil Sturgeon's Rest-Server library ) on Azure Websites. Although I've set the Access-Control-* header in my PHP application: header('Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true'); header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *'); header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, DELETE, OPTIONS'); header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept'); (If you need a working test file, here's the gist for the test file) But Azure Websites server doesn't return the headers in response. And thus all requests to the server failed with the error message: Origin http://example.azurewebsites.net is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.   In order to make sure there's no problem with my application, I've deployed the same code to Appfog.com . And as expected, the application works just fine. The same application d...

[Magento] Create Contact Form with Dynamic Recipient

-
There are many ways of creating contact forms to email to multiple recipient. I'm going to describe a way that uses Javascript a the frontend to change the target recipient. Advantage of this method: Easy to add in new emails in the future. Disadvantage of this method: For those who are particularly concern email privacy, you might not want to use this method. You can modify the email checking to the backend (controller) instead. Okay enough talking, lets get started. Step 1: Set up HTML form fields I'm going to use an example of drop down select to change the email. Of course, this is fairly easy to modify with other forms as well. Open up app/design/frontend/default/<theme>/template/contacts/contacts.phtml Insert the following snippets anywhere between the <form>...</form> tag. <select name="interest" id="interest" title="<?php echo Mage::helper('contacts')->__('Please select department t...
