Joomla Virtuemart and Pin Codes PDF Print E-mail

For my online shop, I recently had to find out how to configure the excellent Virtuemart plugin for Joomla! to sell serial codes (or call them unlock codes, or PIN codes). I managed the find just one plugin, but you'll have to integrate it into Virtuemart by hand: it does not include an installer. However, the instructions in the readme.txt file in the download from the site of the developer are pretty clear and will get most intermediate Joomla administrator on the right track.

There is however one serious flaw: the customer gets access to their pincodes even if the order was not marked "Confirmed"! This post will describe how to modify the Pin Code plugin to prevent this problem.

Simple role controlled menu system PDF Print E-mail
.Net

NET 2.0 has the wonderfull user and role provider system, called Membership, which make login, access and role control quite simple. I used this feature in some occasions to full satisfaction. Drawback of the providers is that you either need to incorporate special user/role tables into your database, or write your own provider classes if you want to use your own user/role tables.

One feature I’m particulary fond of is the way the menu component adapts itselfs to the access rules you define for your users. In this post I’m going to explain how to set up a menu system which is controlled by roles without having to use the user/role providers.

 
PngComponents - Adding images to a list in code PDF Print E-mail
Delphi
Tuesday, 18 September 2007 00:00

The PngComponents suite of Martijn Saly is awsome and adds excellent Png support to the Delphi programming environment. For example the imagelist component (TPngImageList) mimics the original Delphi VCL imagelist so that you can use Png images in any component supporting the standard imagelist, like treeviews, listviews etc.

The architecture around the Png imagelist is however a bit different than that of Delphi, and may lead to confusion, especially when trying to access it from code.
This article shows you how to use and manipulate the Png imagelist from code..
