com_mailto and spam.

Today I realized that spamers were using my web site for spam, and problem was com_mailto component.

This is one example of link.

For now I don't have solution, I just deleted that component from my web site.

It seems that problem was with this:

6. Use proper permissions on files and directories. They should be max permissions of 644 for files & 755 for folders with no exceptions.

Taken from here.

Just to be sure, deleted com_mailto component, since I am still blacklisted, as spamer :(

NewsFeed in reverse order

If you want your news feed from Joomla! built in component to show in reverse order, then in components\com_newsfeeds\views\newsfeed\view.html.php between lines:

// items
$newsfeed->items = $rssDoc->get_items();

// feed elements
$newsfeed->items = array_slice($newsfeed->items, 0, $newsfeed->numarticles);

Add:

$newsfeed->items = array_reverse($newsfeed->items);

Flash

If you have problems embeding flash into your Joomla! site, try to disable Code cleanup:

Extensions->Plugin Manager->Editor - TinyMCE 2.->Code cleanup on save->Always

Set front page to yes by default

If you want front page radio button in backend of submiting articles be always on front page, then in administrator/components/com_content/controller.php instead of:


$lists['frontpage'] = JHTML::_('select.booleanlist', 'frontpage', '', $row->frontpage); 

Write:

if (!$edit) $row->frontpage = 1;
$lists['frontpage'] = JHTML::_('select.booleanlist', 'frontpage', '', $row->frontpage);

Taken from here.

Also, if you want front page radio button in frontend of submiting article be always on front page, then in \components\com_content\views\article\view.html.php instead of:

$article->frontpage = 1;

Write:

$article->frontpage = 0;

HTML code cleanup

If you want your HTML code in the articles to keep clean, to keep your Indentation/Tabs/Space Policy (justification), then in plugins find TinyMCE plugin and set Code Cleanup on Save = Never
