All you could see was just an empty rokstories box with arrows? Have you also recently changed your tinyMCE settings? The problem is related. A small change in syntax will break your article being used by rokstories. It will show up fine in the editor, but will not display correctly on your site.</p>
<p>This fact is actually included in the rokstories tutorial for many months already. under point 4.2. but who read that and or remembered it?!? So anyway hopefully if you have this problem and find this article then you know how to fix your problem. If you are lucky then you found this solution faster than I did. I was banging my head against the wall for almost two hours before I found the solution.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_304" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 201px"><a href="http://www.forestgumpsays.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/danica.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-304 " style="margin: 4px 8px;" title="danica patrick " src="http://www.forestgumpsays.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/danica.jpg" alt="danica patrick " width="191" height="297" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Godaddy Spokes Person Danica Patrick</p></div>
<p>Godaddy you are killing me. First you put more than 5 thousand websites  on every one of your servers and then my sites are as slow as molasses  on a cold day.</p>
<p>THEN&#8230; you up-sell me on your new Grid  hosting. Its not supposed to be slow. Well it is. I have taken countless  hours to migrate my sites from one hosting account to the other and its  painfully slow. The admin interface is complicated and slow. I waste  hours per week waiting on your interface.</p>
<p>I guess you not  really interested in your customers! Godaddy is going to go the way of  AOL and Myspace. You are going to get too big and top heavy. You are  getting too separated from the people who made you, and then everyone is  going to jump ship and leave you for dead.</p>
<p>Wake up and start  offering premium services for those of us who need it. I don&#8217;t mind  paying more just give me an easy to manage service that you don&#8217;t stuff  umpteen thousand websites on a single server. Stop being so cheap!</p>
<p>Plus your whole admin user experience is getting too cluttered. I just  want to manage my domains and my hosting accounts. You make me click  like 3 links to even get to them once I log in. If I wanted complicated  and worthless messages and screens in my way I would have stayed with  NetSol.</p>
<p>I also am not interested in your dedicated accounts;  the reason I use you is so that I don&#8217;t have to babysit my own servers  anymore.</p>
<p>And please don&#8217;t come back with some rhetoric about  how its just me. Its not. Many of my clients and my sites users are  complaining and they are from all over the world.</p>
<p>I know you  don&#8217;t care about me and my 3 hosting accounts and 100 plus domain names.  I am just a small fish. But if anyone is listening; the writing is on  the wall. And I am going to be the first to start taking my hosting  business elsewhere.</p>
<p>Because you don&#8217;t care about the basic reasons you are in business.</p>
<p>All my sites are slow. Static or dynamic it does not make a difference.  Loading a reasonably large graphic or a flv file or heaven forbid a  Joomla site. You might as well just go get some coffee.</p>
<p>When  you do a lookup on how many sites are on one IP address on a godaddy  server it returns thousands. This is the same on all my accounts.</p>
<p>Also logging into your web admin is slow. Slow redraw, slow loading. I  have the fastest computers with broadband connections. I am on Mac so no  spyware or viruses slowing me down.</p>
<p>Again I pull my experience from 3 different locations. And from people who use my sites and complain how slow they are.</p>
<p>I am not comparing godaddy with anyone else. I hate to even touch my  regular shared account. It takes forever to get anything done. My grid  account is just barely functional.</p>
<p>FTP via a third party program is slow. And the other night it took close to a minute to even get a directory listing.</p>
<p>Tech support is always friendly and helpful. The issue is godaddy puts  too many sites on too few resources the demand can not be met.</p>
<p>I am just upset because your sales team told me the solution to this  problem was your grid hosting. Well its becoming just as slow as your  regular shared hosting.</p>
<p>Then next stage is to charge me double  and put a half or a 1/3 the amount of sites on one server. Maybe this is  the solution. I am not going to wait long before I start migrating my  websites to another provider. I have to get some work done.</p>
<p>Yes grid is better than regular shared. And I was one of the first Grid customer a few months back. And in the beginning it was great. But every week its getting slower and slower.</p>
<p>Yes I have tried hostgator regular shared account and its much better. faster and much better functionality with .htaccess and phpini But their admin interface is not as friendly. However I not regarding this as a permanent solution. because what is to stop them from overloading the server I am on in the future.</p>
<p>I have recently found a hosting provider named arvixe with what they call a business class hosting. Its exactly what I think I need. You pay twice as much for a shared account and they put far less accounts on a shared resource. They also have limiters in place so that if someone&#8217;s script starts to eat all the memory etc. Then it shuts that script down.</p>
<p>Now to the task of actually moving them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After trying several thing I finally found the one that worked for me.  <strong>You need to edit the .htaccess file</strong>. For  Search Engine Friendly (SEF) URLs to work in Joomla, you will need to change the  htaccess.txt file to .htaccess if you have not already then turn on the RewriteBase option. Note if you are on a mac edit the file before you change it to .htaccess as the (.) will make it invisible on your system. In the file itself, you  will find a line that reads #RewriteBase /  you need to change to RewriteBase /  remove  the pound (#) sign. This is un-commenting the line thus making it active. Good luck.</p>
<p>Hope this helps someone</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After dealing with a lot of .htaccess files in  connection with several websites. If you uncompress a .zip or transfer the file from a  web server to your desktop via FTP, the file never shows up. Thus making very difficult to edit.</p>
<p>A file that starts with a period is one of the  files that OS X hides by default so that you don’t accidentally delete  and or alter it thus messing up your file system.  However, there could be times that you want access to those hidden mac files. Strangely Apple has not made easy as toggling a menu  item in the Finder.</p>
<p>Here is a simple and free solution for you to follow the following few steps. After writing a line  or two of code you’ll be  able to use Apple&#8217;s Automator software to create a plugin that you can use to toggle the  view of hidden files from within Finder.</p>
<p>After opening Automator, select <strong>Automator</strong> from within  the Applications Library on the left-hand side.  You’ll now see a number  of different built-in actions that are available to the Automator  application.</p>
<p>Select <strong>Run Shell Script</strong> from the list of available  actions, and drag it into your workflow.</p>
<p>Type (or paste in) the following code into the Run Shell Script text  box:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><code>defaults write  com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE </code></div>
<div><code>killall Finder</code></div>
</blockquote>
<div></div>
<div>Now that your workflow is finished, choose  File &gt; Save As Plugin and choose Finder as the Application.  Then save  your plugin-in as ShowHiddenFiles or something else that sounds self explanitory.</div>
<div>Now, from the Finder or desktop, simply right-click and  the contextual menu will appear.  Choose Automator &gt; ShowHiddenFiles  and the Finder will restart showing all the hidden files.</div>
<div>Now you will want to create a way to go back to normal viewing. So simply edit the above work flow by chaning &#8220;FALSE&#8221; for &#8220;TRUE&#8221; and  save the new plug-in as HideHiddenFile.</div>
<div>This Automater solution saves you from having to buy a fancy utility application to view your hidden files.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you install Kunena in Joomla and the admin buttons don&#8217;t show up? In the many  cases, the cause was traced to a defective/incomplete installation of <em>Kunena</em>.   In particular, one file, somehow or other, failed to properly install.</p>
<p>The one  file that was missing was toolbar.kunena.php. For  reference for anyone else finding this, the file <strong>toolbar.kunena.php</strong> is found in the root folder of the archive (tar) and needs to go into <strong>administrator/components/com_kunena</strong>.</p>
<p>If this does not solve your problem then uninstall Kunena forum then download and install the .zip version and not the tar version.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>So you have some Links and or buttons that do not work correctly.</strong> This is common problem and  the primary solution is to switch your SEF URL’s off. Then make sure you have the right URL set under <em>Admin-&gt; Configuration-&gt; Site(TAB)-&gt; Site  URL and Secure URL.</em> You should also make sure that your  configuration file also has the right URL. You’ll find it under <em>JOOMLAROOT  /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/virtuemart.cfg.php</em>. Don&#8217;t  forget the trailing slash. Also make sure you have a menu  item linking to VM component and the mod_virtuemart module published.</p>
<p>VirtueMart does not work very well at all with Joomla SEF URL’s.  If you think that this doesn’t  apply to your install, then you should reconsider; this is the first thing to do when  you have some sort of linking issue. Actually they say you should never have enabled it until you are done with your site. If  you want SEF URL’s, its recommended get one of the third party extensions for SEO links.</p>
<p><strong>If your add to cart is not working.</strong> Then switch off your AJAX add to cart. This  function is known to have major issues with other javascripts, like the ones  that may be implemented in your template or in other various modules or extensions.  <strong>LOCATION:</strong> <em>Joomla backend-&gt; Components-&gt; Virtuemart-&gt; Configuration(under  Admin TAB)-&gt; Site(TAB)-&gt; Layout(section)-&gt; Configuration</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How to enable and switch on legacy mode in Joomla 1.5? In early beta release of Joomla! 1.5 (e.g. beta1 and beta2), option to enable and turn on the legacy mode is part of the Global Configuration.

Thus to enable the legacy mode, simply follow steps below to publish the Legacy Mode plug-in.</p>
<p>   1. Login to Joomla 1.5 Site Administrator panel.<br />
   2. Mouse over Extensions in the main horizontal menu, then click on Plugin Manager.<br />
   3. Locate plugin named System – Legacy, and then click on the check box in front of it.<br />
