Using the method below, you can access your site http://localhost/Mysite/index.php/welcome without the index.php like this: http://localhost/Mysite/welcome I did this in Code Igniter 2.0.3 using XAMPP 1.7.1 on Windows 7. Create .htaccess file in the root folder of code igniter. I got the code below from http://codeigniter.com/wiki/mod_rewrite/ . Make sure you use your site folder name in Rewrite Base below:     RewriteEngine On     RewriteBase /Mysite/     #Removes access to the system folder by users.     #Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller,     #previously this would not have been possible.     #'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder.     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*     RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]         #When your application folder isn't i...

Create a menu item of type "K2 » Itemlist / Category". In Parameters (Basic), select one or more categories whose featured items you want to display. On the " Featured items " dropdown, select "Show only featured items". Save the new menu item. Note the ItemId for this new menu item. Your link will be something like this: index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&layout=category&Itemid=

You can create an item without a category by combining K2 and Joomla features. For all the items that need to have categories, use K2's categories. Use Joomla articles for creating all the uncategorized articles. By doing this, you can display all the category-related items by using K2's mod_k2_tools. This will also prevent K2 from showing all the uncategorised articles, which are created by using Joomla's native article feature. For displaying uncategorised articles at module position, you can then create a new menu and have it display at a particular module location.

I tried several tools for synchronising files and folders between 2 computers running Windows 7. My purpose is to sync web server files between 2 computers- basically "htdocs" and database folders of XAMPP. When you try syncing web sever files that you want to use on both the computers, you have to create the same directory structure on the destination computer. For instance, if your source folder is C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs, then you should install xampp in the same directory structure on the destination computer. Otherwise your synced webserver will not work on the destination computer. Out of few tools I tried, I found command-based Robocopy the most reliable and ideal for my sync purpose. This is my concise review of the tools I tried. Sync Toy - Good and easy to use with Synchronize , Echo and Contribute modes but I have noticed it's not too reliable when transferring large number of files. Sync Center - Comes with Windows 7. It creates an offline f...
