More on my horrible Thomson holiday to Tunisia - The excursions

Friday, 17 July 2009 12:47

Well as you all know I have already blogged about the horrendous Thomson trip to Tunisia I posted about before. I have already explained about the lies the travel agent in Thomson travel agents in Leicester city centre told myself and my girlfriend about the location, and holiday. I thought I would add a bit more detail about the resort, and the excursions.

New design, and new forum

Sunday, 12 July 2009 16:18

The past week has been quite rushed with the release of the Joomla! flickr feed module with jquery, and the influx of hits I seem to be getting due to its popularity I decided that I should give the sites users something a bit easier to navigate around, and something a bit more eye-catching. As well as that a better way of providing support on the snippets and downloads I have provided.

Joomla flickr feed module with jQuery and CSS

Saturday, 11 July 2009 14:15

Well after quite a high demand here is the release verion with jQuery slideshow effects and CSS options, you don't have to use them but they are there for the people who just want an easy switch on/off functionality for the slideshow. The way it works is that it will now fade in and out of the amount of images you have decided to pick from your flickr account. I am aware people want this to work for group feeds, and I will make a release that will work with group ID's in the mean time there is a solution for the time being for those willing to get their hands dirty. However this solution does not work with this jQuery version of my flickr feed module.

Missing GD library and FLV files not loading (Windows 2003 server)

Sunday, 05 July 2009 10:45

Just a quick note listing a few issues I've had playing around with a windows 2003 server trying to make PHP run on it. Basically I hade 5.2.3 PHP version installed and the GD library comes as default with the installation, and despite me enabling GD library within php.ini and it saying with--gdlib and in php.ini the GD lib was definately enabled with this: extension=php_gd2.dll and it still wasn't working and coming up with "undefined function imagecreatefromjpeg()" and I've been restarting IIS and everything to try and figure out this infuriating problem.

Thomson trip to Tunisia, staying in Marhaba Palace Review

Monday, 29 June 2009 07:30

As many of you know I have been back from holiday in Tunisia with Thomson a little over a week now, and the reason for a lack of posts and updates is because I spent about half of last week writing a complaint letter. I just want to say to everyone out there that may be Googling this place to go onto holiday there, that, Tunisia is a really nice place providing you are told real facts about it when you purchase the holiday, and that the hotel is of a good quality. Here is a much much shortened version of the issues we had whilst there, and the lies we were fed during the Thomson trip to Tunisia.

Saturday, 13 June 2009 18:25

In addition to the Flickr Feed code I intend on releasing to everyone when I get back from holiday in a weeks time, I have additionally made it into a Joomla! module for anyone and everyone to use and hopefully register it back to me. Anyway, there are a few things to go over with regards to the module:

Search HTML page content using Javascript

Saturday, 06 June 2009 17:17

I was helping a friend on a forum recently, and found quite a nifty tool to help him have a huge downloadable page, and keep the search functionality, and it was by using Javascript to make a Search function loop through the HTML elements within the page and detect the search results and highlight them using CSS. Anyway enough blabber, here is the code:
