            <description><![CDATA[<p>Installing Adobe Acrobat and Outlook Junk Mail Filter update generated an error that looks like:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Error 1402.Could not open key: UNKNOWN\Components\xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy</p>
<p>The problem, most likely is that the permissions on the key yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy are incorrect. To resolve this, search the registry for xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.</p>
<p>It should come up under</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Components\xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</p>
<p>The key yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy or more likely every subkey of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is messed up. To correct this, you will likely need to take ownership of the subkeys and then correct permissions on those key. In my case, this proved to be easy because "Replacing owneron subcontainers and objects" worked (sometimes it doesn't).</p>
<p>Right click on xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx choose permissions and then advanced. Click on the owner tab. Choose Edit. Make the owner "Administrators" if it is not already, and check the box that says "<strong>Replacing owneron subcontainers and objects</strong>".</p>
<p><img alt="ownership" src="http://www.blazingimages.com/assets/blogs/techsupport/2010-15-10_Error-14/ownership.jpg" width="500" height="379" /></p>
<p>Click on OK. Get back to the same dialogue through the procedure above, but go to the permissions tab. If the permissions were not already correct, you should see updated permissions in this dialogue now. Check the box that is labeled "<strong>Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object</strong>" and click OK.</p>

<p>Rerun the installer. I found that a reboot is not necessary, but it never hurts.</p>

            <title>Display/hide a module by criteria other than menu item</title>
            <link>http://www.blazingimages.com/blog/joomla-blog/display-hide-a-module</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>We have used a number of modules which we want to display or hide by criteria other than the Joomla default control of attaching the module to specific menu items. For example, we use Jaggy Blog which provides a module for our blog categories. We want the blog tag words to appear when the blog is being viewed, but not on the rest of the site. Since the categories are delivered through the module, there is no menu item to attach the tag word module to.</p>
<p>Here is a way to accomplish this. First, you need some PHP criteria to identify the page you want to display or hide the module on. Next you need a couple of plugins. We are using <a target="_blank" href="http://www.fijiwebdesign.com/portfolio/joomla-php-module-mod_php.html">mod_PHP</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nonumber.nl/extensions/modulesanywhere">Modules Anywhere</a>.</p>
<p>mod_PHP allows you to create modules that include code like Javascript and PHP code. Being able to include PHP code is essential. Modules Anywhere allows you to include modules in various place on your site including content areas and in this case, inside another module.</p>
<p>For the criteria, in our case, it was the GET value of view which equals Jaggyblog when we want the module to display. If you are using SEF links, you may need to hack you template to temporarily display GET values, or look at the link on a menu item or in you SEF listing if you are using a 3rd party extension. In our case we created a couple of menu items for the blog to find

            <title>Hide your website name in Joomla</title>
            <link>http://www.blazingimages.com/blog/joomla-blog/hide-your-website-name-in-joomla</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<h3>Hide your website name! <br />Why would you want to do that?</h3>
<p>If you look at our site home page, you can see that the website name is displayed at the top of the article, but that is, in fact, the article title. When the website title is displayed, it shows up as a separate content bubble and this is not what we wanted. In short, you may want to do this because the title is in your banner, or you want to display the title in a different way in using the first article displayed on your home page.</p>
<p>So you tried hiding the title of the article you are using for your home page, but that just hides the title you want, or you tried hiding everything you could think of and even looked for parameters in the Front Page Manager. Nothing worked.</p>
<p><strong>Here is how you do it</strong>. You should have a home page link on your menu. It is not just an article menu item, it is a special menu type called <span class="hasTip">Front Page Blog Layout:</span></p>
<p><span class="hasTip"><img alt="img001" src="http://www.blazingimages.com/assets/blogs/joomla/2010-04-28_Hide-your-website-name-in-Joomla/img001.png" width="275" height="341" /></span></p>
<p><span class="hasTip">So you need to edit the menu item. Go to the <strong>System Parameters</strong> and click on <strong>No </strong>under <strong>Show Page Title:</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="hasTip"><strong><img alt="img002" src="http://www.blazingimages.com/assets/blogs/joomla/2010-04-28_Hide-your-website-name-in-Joomla/img002.png" width="500" height="191" /></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="hasTip">That's it. The title should be gone.<strong><br /></strong></span></p>
