Joomla 1.0 Tips
Turning off register_globals for Joomla Fast  E-mail
Couldn't make yourself press the support to deactivate php flag register_globals on your web hosting? support won't do nothing in reasonable time?

OK, assuming that you're running an Apache and it allows setting php variables, copy the following two lines:

# register globals OFF
php_flag register_globals off

if you already have a .htaccess file, append it - having a .htaccess file implies that you know how to do that -, otherwise

  1. paste into a text editor
  2. save as "no_register_globals.htaccess"
  3. upload to document root of your webserver (via ftp, datev or upload script)
  4. rename to ".htaccess" (yes, <dot>htaccess) (it's a linux convention: files with a dot as first character of filename are "hidden" files)
It is possible that the webserver will now show a "500 internal server error" - then you'll have to remove the file, because your webserver does NOT support it and run into an error applying the .htaccess

Working With Joomla Parameters (Mammeters)  E-mail

What Are They?

Parameters or affectionately known as Mammeters give an Administrator the ability to modify script variables within the administration area of Joomla and without opening a PHP script file; the downside is that the module creator has to program the module to handle this option. NOTE: not all modules use this feature.
