Recently we have come across a problem, which is coming to the Joomla Developers. After installing Joomla on the localhost server, developers are getting the following error on all pages of their site.

Strict Standards: Static function JDatabase::test() should not be abstract in C:\xampp\htdocs\Joomla\libraries\joomla\database\database.php

Strict Standards: Accessing static property JCache::$_handler as non static in C:\xampp\htdocs\joomla\libraries\joomla\cache\cache.php on line 420

Strict Standards: Accessing static property JCache::$_handler as non static in C:\xampp\htdocs\joomla\libraries\joomla\cache\cache.php on line 422

Please follow the below steps in order to resolve this error :

1. Visit the localhost where you have installed the Joomla. Try loading the pages. On every page, you get the error like,
Solution for Joomla 1.7 - Strict Standards Error

2. Then open the php.ini file, which is present in the php directory on your system. If you have installed XAMPP, then the location of php.ini file is “C:\xampp\php“.

3. Press CTRL+F to find error_reporting. First one is with the semi-colon (;) and second one is without the semi-colon.

4. Change that 2nd one to error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

5. Set display_errors = off

6. Now go to your Control Panel of the XAMPP or WAMP. And restart the Apache Server.

Now all such errors are resolved from your site. For more help, you can watch the below video.

Note : You can add full security to your Joomla Website by purchasing the Joomla Guard.

Enjoy!

Solution for – Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_get_current_user() in /wordpress/wp-includes/capabilities.php on line 1183

After the release of WordPress Data Guard Pro Plugin (Version 2.9), few users reported that they are getting the error like :

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_get_current_user() in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\capabilities.php on line 1183

Solution:
If you run into the same problem, then there is a simple solution for it.

Just write the below code in wordpress/wp-includes/capabilities.php after ?php sign.

require_once("pluggable.php");

Now you will be able to load all the pages without any error.

So, What is the exact problem :
This problem arises when one of your plugin or theme file wants to get the user type (e.g. Administrator, Editor, Contributer, Author, Subscriber) either in form of a function or in form of variable.

For Example, the below code will generate the same error, if placed in a plugin file:

if(current_user_can('level_10')) {$user_is = 'Admin';} else {$user_is = 'Not Admin'; }

So in such cases, you can include the pluggable.php file into capabilities.php file.

Note : You might bookmark this page for the future references, as after updating the wordpress, capabilities.php gets restored to default, and then you need to follow the same procedure again.

No Comments on How to upload video of more than 15 minutes on Youtube ?

If you want to upload any video on youtube, which is longer than 15 minutes, then upload it. But once you upload that video, Youtube will show you a message “This video has been removed because it is too long. Sorry about that.”

This video has been removed because it is too long. Sorry about that.

This problem occurs with the unverified youtube users. Unverified users can only upload videos of length upto 15 Minutes. So to bypass this limit, you need to have a verified youtube account.

Here is the procedure of verifying your youtube account:

1. Log into your youtube account. Then click on Upload button.

2. Now click on the link says “Increase your limit” as shown below, (Or visit directly at http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_upload_verify).

Increase youtube video uploading limit — Increase Youtube video uploading limit

3. Enter your mobile phone number into the relevant text-box.

4. After submitting the mobile phone number, you’ll receive a text-message from Google, which will contain a verification code. Enter that verification code as shown below.

Now your Youtube account is verified, and you can upload videos of more than 15 minutes length.

Increased youtube video uploading limit — Increased Youtube video uploading limit

What is the Difference between 32 Bit and 64 Bit Operating Systems (OS) / Software ?

Post author By William E. Goldston

No Comments on What is the Difference between 32 Bit and 64 Bit Operating Systems (OS) / Software ?

We receive number of emails from our subscribers asking, “What is the difference between 32-Bit (x86) and 64-Bit (x64) processors” ?

Well, after running a survey, we found it surprising that many of the people are confused about which type of computer should they purchase, what bit system they require!

I think this article may help those, who want to choose a correct machine, according to their usage.

As per our survey, most of the people are running 32 Bit operating systems. But as the hardware is going cheaper, their curiosity is also increasing about working with 64 Bit operating system. Now lets take a look at the differences between the 32-Bit and 64-Bit OS.

1. 32-Bit operating systems can run on both 32-Bit processors and 64-Bit processors, while 64-Bit OS can only be run on 64-Bit processor. 64-Bit processors handles larger chunks of data as compared to 32-Bit processors. This is the only reason that they are very fast as compared to the 32-Bit.

2. In a 32-Bit Operating system, the maximum RAM could be used is 3GB, while in 64-Bit Operating systems you can use as much RAM as you want (Starting from 4GB to 256TB). If you have installed more than 3GB RAM in the 32-Bit Operating System, then its properties will show something like this,

Screenshot on 32-Bit Operating System with 4GB RAM.

4GB Ram in 32-Bit Operating System (4GB Installed, 3GB Usable)

Screenshot on 64-Bit Operating System with 8GB RAM.

8GB Ram in 64-Bit Operating System (8GB Installed, 8GB Usable)

3. Although you can run most of the 32-Bit applications on 64-Bit system, but there are many programs which needs to be 64-Bit if you want to run them on a 64-Bit system. However in opposite to this, 64-Bit programs can’t be run on 32-Bit OS.

4. Earlier 64-Bit OS driver support was poor, due to which people were facing compatibility issues. But now most of the companies are developing two versions of each application (32-Bit and 64-Bit). So there is no need to worry about the compatibility in 64-Bit OS.

Conclusion:

If you don’t use hevay applications and 3GB RAM is sufficient for you, then you should use a 32-Bit operating system. But if you use heavy and graphical applications like AutoCAD, Video Editors, Heavy Programming IDEs then using 64-Bit Operating system can give a lot of benefits.

You can also install most of the 32-Bit applications (not all) on 64-Bit Operating System. When you do that there will be two directories for the installed program files.

For example : In Windows 7 (64-Bit), you will see “Program Files” and “Program Files (x86)”. x86 is an alias for 32-Bit operating system.

1 Comment on Microsoft Office 365 – Cloud Computing – Features and Pricing

The world is moving into a new generation of Computing, named Cloud Computing, where our all of our local hard-disk data goes at the online servers.

Cloud Computing is really fast, reliable and secure. Rest all you need to have is high speed broadband onto your network.

Cloud Computing are used from a small office to the large enterprises. Companies can grant access to the project specific employees so that different documents and files could be used in a collaborative manner.

Some of the example of Cloud computing are Microsoft Office 365, Google Apps, Zoho Docs, Salesforce etc.

Today, Google Docs and Zoho have already captured the online documentation and collaboration market, but we can’t ignore Microsoft Office 365.

Prior to Office 365, Microsoft has already provided many online tools like SkyDrive, SharePoint Online, Exchange Online, Microsoft Office Web Apps, Lync etc. And now with the help of all these products Microsoft can leave others (Cloud Computing Services) far behind.

If you want to know more about Office 365, you can have a look at the below infographic design from cloudhypermarket.

No Comments on 10 Useful Tips for WordPress Plugins Developers to Enter into WordPress Extend Directory

WordPress is a most popular blogging platform, and all wordpress developers want their plugin/theme to be in WordPress Extend Directory.

Developing WordPress Plugins and Themes and Uploading it to WordPress Extend Directory

There are thousands of developers who design wordpress themes and plugins, but wordpress has number of restrictions if they want to upload their creation to the WordPress Extend directory, due to which many developers can’t post their products into it. This article will give a strong benefit to such developers.

Here are the key points you should remember while developing a plugin. You will become eligible to enter into the WordPress Directory, after implementing these steps into your product.

1. All the code in the plugin files must be unique. Files containing copied codes from other plugins/themes are not acceptable.

2. All the code in the plugin files must be visible to everyone. No obfuscated or encoded text is permitted anywhere in the product.

3. All Code must be virus free and doesn’t contain any malicious code in it

4. Adding or embedding ads in the user’s admin area is not permitted.

5. Selling the Ad-Space in the user’s admin area is not allowed.

6. Tracking users is not permitted

7. Use of iFrame is restricted to WordPress

8. If footer note (Attribution) is being added to the user’s website, then it must be optional and visible to the users. So that if they don’t want to show the footer text, they can disable it.

9. You must add the GPL License to the code.

Google Plus Friends Limit: You’ve reached the maximum number of people that can be in your circles at this time.

Post author By William E. Goldston

5 Comments on Google Plus Friends Limit: You’ve reached the maximum number of people that can be in your circles at this time.

We are receiving number of emails from our users saying that they can’t add more people to their circles in Google Plus.
Whenever they are adding new people to the circle, the below message is displayed :

You’ve reached the maximum number of people that can be in your circles at this time.

Google+ Limit : You've reached the maximum number of people that can be in your circles at this time

Our support technicians have found that this happens due to the individual’s activeness for his Google+ account, but in total you can add only 5000 friends.

1. If the Individual has just created his account with Google+, then he can only add few hundred people to his circle in 1 day.

2. If he uses Google+ a lot and adds people to his circle on a daily basis, then there is a limit of 5000 friends.

So, when an active user has added 5000 people to his circle then this error message will be displayed to him, and he won’t be able to add more people to his circle.

If you have less than 5000 Friends in Google Plus, then limitation is for a couple of days, which will automatically get extended by looking at the activeness of that user. So, you need to wait for a couple of days, to add more friends.

We are constantly doing the experiments to find out more solutions of this limitation.

If you have any suggestions/comments for the same, then please write them below.
