JFusion Blog

Finally, I have now published a new section on the website, called 'get involved'. You might have seen similar pages with other open source projects before, and that is because they aim to educate users on one of the most important factors of open source development: How you, like anyone else, can take an active part in the project you've come to love, and do your fair share to speed things up.

Now, about what you might be missing...

Hi Everybody,

Firstly, you may have noticed that i've been absent for a while i focused on other matters, those are sorted and now im back you'll start to hear more from me over the next few weeks.

Today, i am announcing the the first JFusion List Cleansing,  we're going to begin with the email list, over the coming days members on the Newsletter list will receive an email confirming they are on the list.

With the 1.1.2 RC looming large over our heads, it was necessary that the Documentation also took a huge leap forward along with the project. And we have risen to this challenge. I present to you a new Documentation Structure that I have been working on for the last couple of days.

 Have a look here.

The aim has been to create docs that are neater, simpler and easier to access. let us know what you think about these changes.

Although I describe the setup and testing of a local testsystem on windows, except for installing XAMPP, all steps are valid for a testsetup on a remote (shared) server or a unix standalone test server.

Of course, being a professional webmaster, you want a testserver don't you?

If you don't want to install magento and don't want to read my ramblings about magento setup skip to THE FOLLOWING IS GOOD ADVICE FOR ANY (NEW) INSTALLATION WITH JFUSION! below.

Installing Magento 1.2.1.1 locally under XAMPP

I have been struggling for a long time now to install Magento 1.2x under XAMPP after an automatic update from Magento 1.1x to 1.2x crashed my complete testserver setup under XAMPP 1.6.8.

So I decided to install the new XAMPP 1.7 and the lastest Mgento 1.2 from fresh. Oh boy, I never had to deal with a mess like this. The XAMPP install went without any problems. My test setup consisting of Joomla, Moodle and Kayako installed without problems but Magento refused to install. You get a lot of MySQL errors and Magento refuses to install.

Hi Everyone,

It gives me (and Mark) great pleasure to announce that we have launched a brand new documentation site based on Dokuwiki, the site which is now live can be accessed via the Docs link at the top of the screen.

 The wiki is powered by the Dokuwiki Plugin for JFusion which means that when you want to login to the wiki you can use your exisiting username and password.
