Joomla Ticketmaster Mailchimp not working

In configuration after I save my Mailchimp API returns as a single value and the List ID does the same.

To fix this you need to make this change in MySql

in the table __ticketmaster_config

you need to change both tables  mailchimp_listid  & mailchimp_api from INT to VARCHAR

Wordpress Wealthz theme weird behavior of Portfolios

I'd been having a few weird issues when loading Portfolios on to our Wealthz theme. 

What was happing is after a certain amount when I was adding a new item then the oldest Portfolio would not show.   After changing the category layout I was still getting some weird behavior in that the last 2 categories had all the same images. 

The fix here is in the Wealthz theme options - go to

Theme Options, On portfolio options tab, number of portfolios will be a default of 12 . Change this to a much higher number.

Joomla RD Media Ticketmaster change Rolling Stones text

on the background of the PDF's of the tickets we're sending out we have a message like 'you're tickets for the Rolling Stones'
To get rid of this you need to change the PDF background .  You can find this at
admin > components > com_ticketmaster > assets > etickets

And you can also upload this on each individual ticket.

Joomla Ticketmaster - Sell promo tickets first

I've made a couple of changes to Joomla Ticketmaster . They're hacks so will need uploading on any future developments of the component.


Firstly the client was after selling tickets at Promotional Price and then once they've run out the full price tickets will sell.

To do this ADD your promo tickets FIRST  .  And the tickets MUST HAVE THE SAME NAME


Here's the hack

OPEN com_ticketmaster/models/eventlist.php  

find

   function getList() {
   
  if (empty($this->_data)) {

    $db = JFactory::getDBO();
   
   $where  = $this->_buildContentWhere();
   $order  = $this->_buildContentOrderBy();
  
   ## Making the query for showing all the clients in list function
   $sql = 'SELECT a.*, b.eventname, b.groupname, v.venue AS venuename, v.id AS venueid
     FROM #__ticketmaster_tickets AS a, #__ticketmaster_events AS b, #__ticketmaster_venues AS v'
     .$where
 .$order;     
   
    $db->setQuery($sql, $this->getState('limitstart'), $this->getState('limit' ));
    $this->data = $db->loadObjectList();
  }
  return $this->data;
 }

AND REPLACE WITH

     function getList() {
   
  if (empty($this->_data)) {

    $db = JFactory::getDBO();
   
   $where  = $this->_buildContentWhere();
   $order  = $this->_buildContentOrderBy();
  
   ## Making the query for showing all the clients in list function
   $sql = 'SELECT a.*, b.eventname, b.groupname, v.venue AS venuename, v.id AS venueid
     FROM #__ticketmaster_tickets AS a, #__ticketmaster_events AS b, #__ticketmaster_venues AS v'
     .$where
 .' AND a.totaltickets > 0 GROUP   BY a.ticketname'   
     .$order;  // changed by littleripples.com      
   
    $db->setQuery($sql, $this->getState('limitstart'), $this->getState('limit' ));
    $this->data = $db->loadObjectList();
  }
  return $this->data;
 }

SAVE AND UPLOAD

Images not showing on Front Page of Wordpress Fashionista Theme

The issue here is that after blogging some images aren't displaying. As pictured here.




These display boxes are set in the Post; of which you can choose which format you wish.  I'm going to make this change in 'standard' but you'll need to spread over to the other formats too.

Take a look at the page wp-content/themes/wpex-fashionista/formats/entry-standard.php

Look for the code

aq_resize( wp_get_attachment_url(get_post_thumbnail_id(),'full'), x, x, false ); 


if you change the False here to True then this will allow cropping :)

Issues purchasing after Upgrade to Joomla 3.2

The first part of this blog acts as a lesson learnt and a big slap on the wrist for myself. When doing any upgrade on Joomla you should always make a full backup; I also always do this in a testing area. The slap on the wrist comes now with the level of testing given at this point - Do not trust the label of 'STABLE upgrade'; it still needs thorough testing through all processes and not just checking all Pages, which is what I done. Ok so let's have a look at the actual issues that occured. user name and password do not match or you do not have an account yet The mail function has been temporarily disabled on this site COM_TICKETMASTER_AUTOLOGIN_LOGIN_FAILURE 1. The Mail Function has been temporarily disabled on this site. this is an easy - switch on switch off solution in admin -> http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=706&t=825521 2.

Please select a password with 55 or fewer characters." to fix this i went to Plugin Manager: System - Remember Me and reduced the value of Key Length to 6. and my issue seems to be fixed.
