joomla 1.7 installation A file permissions error has occurred. Please check the permissions on the script and the directory it is in and try again.

joomla 1.7 A file permissions error has occurred. Please check the permissions on the script and the directory it is in and try again


While installing Joomla 1.7 I got this message

'A file permissions error has occurred. Please check the permissions on the script and the directory it is in and try again'

Having encountered this type of problem I'm aware that what I need to do is change the folder permissions to 755 and files to 644.  And that will probably sort it out.  It didn't work this time though !!!

And the reason for that is that I was chmodding in the folders inside the installation and the folder I needed to change was the public_html folder.

Locking your Facebook Fanpage so that only Fans can see your Content

We've all seen plenty of fanpages that tell you that you have to 'Like' the page before you can see the content.

The technique has some powerful benefits for businesses as well for example ' Click on LIKE to get the Special Offers ' .  It's easy to add to FBML pages aswell

just copy and paste this in your FBML App ( taking out the spaces around the 'divs'

< div>
< div style="height: 200px;">
< !-- start non-fan part -->
< div style="margin-top:10px; position: absolute; top:10px;left:0px; height: 200px;; width:100%;">
non-fan content: non-fans will see this content, but fans will not.
< /div>
< !-- end non-fan part -->
< fb:fbml version="1.1">
< fb:visible-to-connection>
< div style="margin-top:10px; position: absolute; height: 200px; top:10px;left:0px; width:100%; background-color: #FFFFFF">
fan content:only fans will see this content.
< /div>
< /fb:visible-to-connection>

how to make a better template for mod_redmysticcore

how to make a better template for red mystic core

Red mystic core module templates aren't made to make design changes easily.  Unfortunatley you have to hack the file mod_redmysticcore/helper.php 

Here I basically added as many classes as I could and used css to change backgrounds and move items etc. 


Not ideal but I got what I wanted done quicker that changing Objects and rewriting code.

Flash movie plays on desktop, but not on website

in the case in hand I'm pretty sure it's something to do with a loop error with their first scene. ie the loading scene .

For example when opening the file online it doesn't load !  However if you right click and go to 'play' it works. 

I'm sure if I had the .fla files I'd find a fix in the scene 1 loop .

in this scenarion the .fla files haven't been given to me.  so this is a bit of a guess.
