Acajoom Installation Error Fix

-
Was upgrading Acajoom GPL 3.2.7 to Acajoom 5.2.0 and encountered the following errors.


JInstaller::install: SQL Error. DB function failed with error number 1064
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'TYPE=MyISAM' at line 35 SQL=CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `z1ck_acajoom_lists` ( `id` int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment, `list_name` varchar(101) NOT NULL default '', `list_desc` text NOT NULL, `list_type` tinyint(2) NOT NULL default '0', `sendername` varchar(64) NOT NULL default '', `senderemail` varchar(64) NOT NULL default '', `bounceadres` varchar(64) NOT NULL default '', `layout` text NOT NULL, `template` int(9) NOT NULL default '0', `subscribemessage` text NOT NULL, `unsubscribemessage` text NOT NULL, `unsubscribesend` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '1', `auto_add` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0', `user_choose` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0', `cat_id` int(10) NOT NULL default '0', `delay_min` int(2) NOT NULL default '0', `delay_max` int(2) NOT NULL default '7', `follow_up` int(10) NOT NULL default '0', `html` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '1', `hidden` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0', `published` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0', `createdate` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00', `acc_level` int(2) NOT NULL default '0', `acc_id` int(11) NOT NULL default '29', `notification` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0', `owner` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', `footer` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '1', `notify_id` int(10) NOT NULL default '0', `next_date` int(11) NOT NULL default 0, `start_date` DATE NOT NULL, `params` text , PRIMARY KEY (`id`), UNIQUE KEY `list_name` (`list_name`) ) TYPE=MyISAM;
After checking the SQL codes, I realize theres syntax error when running the TYPE=MyISAM against the database.

A quick-fix to this of course is to remove all the lines that contains that code fragment.

Heres a simple step-by-step on how and where to remove.
  1. Extract the installer (acajoomnews5.2.0.zip).
  2. Open "1.5.acajoom.xml" and "acajoom.xml".
  3. Remove all occurrences of "TYPE=MyISAM".
  4. Re-zip the files.
  5. Install as per normal in Joomla 1.5.
For those lazy bumps out there, heres the fixed installer. 


---

Side-note: After installing the extension, I got these error messages.


Of course, if you look care fully (and read the documentation link provided). Its actually just folder permission issues.

  1. Just reset the mentioned files/folders ownership and chmod to 777.
  2. Then run the installers provided in the documentation, again.
  3. (Repeat step 1 again is theres error meesage.)

Hope that helps those who are new to this. :)

[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...
