Shopping cart made from Joomla, K2, Simple Caddy and a CSV import
by Lonnie on Sep.22, 2009, under Joomla, Programming
One of my clients had recently came to me looking for a clean shopping cart that could be ran mostly via CSV… they had a “product matrix” in excel that had categories, sub categories, item name, skew and price…
I evaluated VirtueMart which I decided was just too bulky and buggy to work with .. then I checked out dozens of others, but none were suited to our needs..

Have you ever needed to make Joomla use https?
If you use Joomla 1.0.x you could just simply changed $mosConfig_livesite to your https URL, but this won’t solve the issue of someone coming in on a non https link from a search engine or bookmark, yes it will change to https if they click a link, but that landing page will be insecure, what can we do about this? read on!
Joomla Tips: Dynamic header images (1.5)
by Lonnie on Jan.14, 2009, under Joomla
When Joomla 1.5 came out, not many components existed for this task … I wanted to be able to specify an image for the header based on whether it was the front page, a specific article, or a specific component .. I also wanted it to be able to fall back to a default image if none existed.
This article covers how to do that right in your template!
