Hi,

Tried the 2nd option, not successful. What is the Tabs Table? My SQL Editor only browses my computer for a file…

Comment on XAMPP, php-devel, and pecl errors by Georgios Cherouvim

Hi Jim,
This is not a comment, but a message for a bit of help about Coordino. I am sorry I couldn’t locate any email or contact form anywhere on your site. If there isn’t one because you don’t want to deal with support, just ignore me, otherwise please reply to my email. One way or another, no need to publish this comment.

I am having problems installing coordino in my localhost using xxamp. I get an ‘Object not found!’ page. I have a feeling it has something to do with the .htaccess, because if I remove it I get a php error message css(‘install.css’);?>

image(‘coordino_logo.png’);?>
flash(); ?>

Trying out on my online server, I get a page not found via my working website which is in the root. If I remove the .htaccess file, it takes me to the installation page, which I will try set up now.

Any ideas why it’s not working locally?

Thank you
georgios

i vactually made a mistake in that code. in DNN 6 it uses the popups, so you need to avoid the javascript as well… so this works:

$(function () { $(‘a:not([href=""]), a:not([href="javascript"])’).each(function () { if (this.hostname !== location.hostname) { $(this).attr(‘target’, “_blank”); } }); });

hey, if you are like our organization, we have many users who are not going to type that in each time they have to open a link in a new window… they will either forget, type it wrong, etc as they are not techy. For those who want a pretty easy way to do this and have access to your DNN installation… then open up the skin you are usoing … and at the bottom put this block of code:

$(function () { $(‘a:not([href=""])’).each(function () { if (this.hostname !== location.hostname) { $(this).addClass(‘externalLink’).attr(‘target’, “_blank”); } }); });

what this does is any EXTERNAL link it will add the target=”_blank” into any links on your page … and as well a class called externalLink so you can make a CSS entry and change stuff around. give it a shot…

Had a problem with filtering something that was “double escaped,” so I changed the single quotes in the javascript example to double quotes and it works fine. Thanks!
