Tassos Marinos Joomla Developer

I have come across this developer’s stuff a couple of times, but never really appreciated his contributions to the community. He has a plug-in called EngageBox that is so much fun to put on a site. Check it out here.

He also gives in depth process for Google’s Structured Data that is overwhelming at first but very informative. Check that out here.

I hope this helps someone else out there…

To ensure seemless working with Virtuemart

I wanted to test out using Virtuemart on a Joomla install as a inventory program. When I tried to install from the web from within Joomla I got the following error.

I tried to just download and install that way, but I got the same error. If I actually read the error I would have figured out the the fix.

  • Go to System >> Global Configuration
  • Go to the Server tab and in the “Database Setting” change the “Database Type” to “MySQLi”.

I hope this helps someone else out there….
