I used this set up to for logging users out of Joomla and return them to the home page.
{source}
<?php
$mainframe =JFactory::getApplication(); $mainframe->logout();
$allDone=&JFactory::getApplication();
$allDone->redirect(‘/’);
?>
{/source}

Got a call from a client about website not coming up. If you searched for the site in a search engine and clicked on any link to the site you got a page about a missing PHP file. This site is a static HTML site.
I opened the .htaccess file and saw redirects to the PHP file that didn’t exist. I cleared out the .htaccess file and when you click on the search link the site came up fine.
I contacted Godaddy looking for help, but they don’t deal with .htaccess files. You are on your own. They do offer SiteLock to protect the site.
I used the following links advice and to change the name of the .htaccess file and the contents of the file rewrite the name back to all lower case.

My final .htaccess file containted the following
<Files ~"^.*\.([Hh][Tt][Aa])"> order allow,deny deny from all satisfy all </Files>
In addition, i changed the password for the FTP access. Next step is to use Sucuri. I know they can protect this site.

I have a cousin that is blind and fully uses the web. This is amazing to me. When I am building websites I often think about how my site could be used by people with life challenges.
While redoing a site I wondered should I ditch the 508 compliant “label” tag and just use a “placeholder” tag. After some Google searches and good old common sense I have determined that label tags should stay.
Here are my reasons:
This article was helpful with my determination.

I love chronoforms and wondered about reading and displaying the data in such a powerful way. I looked at chronoconnectivity many times but quickly got discouraged.
I found simply going through their FAQ was a great start.

Next I found the following walk through which were the next steps I was looking for and beyond.

I was testing a clients website local host and it was throwing a bunch of errors in WAMP.
Strict standards: Only variables should be assigned by reference in
These errors were related to SuperFish Menu Module. I love SuperFish Drop-down menus, but I don’t love the module for Joomla yet.
I found this YouTube video that simply turns off Error messages on the Server settings in the Global Configuration.

I don’t think this is a perfect fix, but it helped me.
