Using Windows Live Writer with Joomla

What is Windows Live Writer?

Windows Live Writer is a desktop blogging application that enables you to write content for your website from the Windows Live Writer application.

Why use Windows Live Writer with Joomla?

Windows Live Writer makes the process of adding content to your website a breeze.

Rather than having to log into the Joomla backend and write your new content in a cumbersome WYSIWYG editor, you can use the familiar office style writing environment. Once you've written your content, you simply need to press 'publish' button from within Windows Live Writer and your article will be online.

How to setup Windows Live Writer in Joomla 1.5

Change IP in Plesk

IP change in Plesk is not trivial task)))) even if you read all the documentations :)

So if you decide to change IP in Plesk but you can not do this via Plesk panel you should:

1) read this KB http://kb.parallels.com/en/943

2) add new IP

3) do the trick in Plesk DB

 

mysql -u admin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow

mysql> show databases;

mysql> use psa;

mysql> show tables;

mysql> select * from IP_Addresses;

Now you should see a list of IPs you should delete new IP

mysql> delete from IP_Addresses where id=<your new_ip id>

mysql> quit

/usr/local/psa/bin/reconfigurator.pl <map file>

 

Do not forget to edit DNS records.

Broken OS template cache

I got a task to upgrade container with Fedora core 7 to Fedora Core 8. From available information such operation can be run as

 

vzpkg upgrade VE_ID

So I without any thoughts back up container and run upgrade. But upgrade finished with error about vzquota. after googling all what I found, was information that I should recreate cache. This operation was finished with errors too.

 

So my workaround is:

 

1. backup container

2. download OS  template from http://www.parallels.com/products/virtuozzo/templates/catalog/

3. install downloaded OS template with force option

 

vzpkg install template OS_TPL –force

 

4. recreate OS cache

 

vzpkg create cache OS_TPL

vzpkg update cache OS_TPL’

 

5. have fun with OS and container upgrade :)

css and Html layout generator

I often use my brain for generating web site layout. But some times I’m out of ideas, so I need nice & easy tool for generating layouts. Per my investigating somewhere in the web I found 960 grid system. This tool allows you to create div based layout, so you can easily build your web  site.

Using this tool I found a couple of things which I don’t like but at least it saves my time :)
