Hacks

Here is a list of some IMPORTANT hacks to applies on your Joomla! installation to fix common issues.


The forked XML does not recognize sub items.

libraries/joomla/forms/forms.php - LINE 723


Fatal error: Access to undeclared static property: XxxxCkClassLoader::$classes

This normal error raises with Joomla 1.6
Since 2.6.3, Cook overrides the JLoader class and need to access to the local properties.
For Joomla 1.6 it is nessessary to apply this patch to make the last 2.6.3 generated component working.

(Also, you can change the config, choosing 'Legacy loader')

libraries/loader.php - LINE 20

Change private to protected
“
”

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
