WARNINGcall_user_func_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, string givenError in line 649

Today i faced with JCE joomla image manager problem. It was displaying all the time when i tried to insert or edit image.

PHP Error Message: WARNINGcall_user_func_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, string givenError in line 649 of file /customers/global-trade.dk/global-trade.dk/httpd.www/plugins/editors/jce/libraries/classes/plugin.php

So here is how to fix it:
1) Go to /plugins/editors/jce/libraries/classes/plugin.php,2) You should see the line code:

$result = call_user_func_array( $func, $args );

3) Edit it to this code:

$result = call_user_func_array( $func, (array)$args );

4) Save and go insert / edit images!

OpenX remove Trojan program HEUR:Trojan.Script.Iframer

So for last few days i was faced with the Trojan which was injected into OpenX.

So here is my guide how to remove it.

1. First of all create
`banners` copy like `banners_2` ( so it be backup if you will need it ).

2. Lanch the query to remove unwanted virus / trojan code snippets

UPDATE `banners` SET `htmltemplate` = '', `htmlcache` = '', `append` = ''
WHERE 1
AND
(
`htmltemplate` LIKE '%BrowserDetect%' OR `htmltemplate` LIKE '%function hex2a(hex)%' OR`htmlcache` LIKE '%BrowserDetect%' OR ` htmlcache ` LIKE '%function hex2a(hex)%' OR`append` LIKE '%BrowserDetect%' OR ` append ` LIKE '%function hex2a(hex)%')

[EDIT]
Launch same query for zones table

UPDATE `zones` SET `append` = ''
WHERE 1
AND
(
`append` LIKE '%BrowserDetect%' OR ` append ` LIKE '%function hex2a(hex)%')

[EDIT end]

3. Do OpenX update to latest version ( 2.8.9 for current moment )

4. After you update your OpenX, lanch query at (2) for one more time.

5. At this stage you will need to clear cache or just wait to renew it by itself.. I didnt deleted it, so i cant tell you anything about how to do it. If you OpenX is huge i dont recommend you to delete it., better ask someone who knows anything about "grep" ( Google scan command? ).
Cache exists in var/cache/

[EDIT]
6. After all this cleanings we still couldn't find the trojan by itself, but banners and zones position were infected from time to time...
Solution for this was to limit`append` field attribute length to '10' symbols. It helped us for now...
[EDIT end]

These are steps which we took and a bit more..

Hope it will help you. Good luck, you will need it.

p.s. a bit more information can be fount here:

Warning: Parameter 1 to IcemodMainMenuHelper::IcebuildXML()

For few days i had headache because of icemod menu which was installed in web site which i got zipped by Akeeba Backup tool based on Joomla.

Finally after many restores, i got notification in place where error appeared:

Warning: Parameter 1 to IcemodMainMenuHelper::IcebuildXML() expected to be a reference, value given in blah...blah...\libraries\joomla\cache\handler\callback.php on line 99

Googling the error i found solution for it:
1. Go to your Joomla files
2. Go to this directory \templates\...template name...\html\mod_mainmenu ( ...template name... - your template name )
3. Open to edit helper.php
4. Find line 31 with this code:

function IcebuildXML(&$params)

5. Delete "&" sign or replace the line with this one:

function IcebuildXML($params)

It helped me. Good luck you.

Multiple mysql insert quiery

i was trying to insert a lot ( 1.000.000 ) values into single table with single query, because inserting each value takes much longer time.

table looks like:

id , value

so solution is to create array with php of the values:

code:

    $insert = array();

    for($i=0;$i<=950000;$i++)

    {

      $insert[] = "('".md5(rand(0,1000))."')";

    }

and then executing the query:

$sql = "INSERT INTO `skelbimai` ( `value` ) VALUES ".implode(",",$insert)." ";

ALSO

You might have problem with time limit. so i set up this limit:

set_time_limit(1800);

Also you might have problem with memory_limit, so use it:

ini_set('memory_limit', '150M'); 

Good luck.

Recursive drawing

Have you wondered how to draw this ones easy? It calls "Recursive drawing".

I made this one by my self in few minutes.

Recursive Drawing by artist Toby Schachman is a simple web app for creating images out of recursive shapes, in other words, shapes that repeat in a self-similar way.

Try yourself: http://recursivedrawing.com/

Recursive Drawing is an exploration of user interface ideas towards the development of a spatially-oriented programming environment.

Real Tracking and Shooting Portal Turret

I guess its first which I see... first pretty good looking IRL Portal shooting turret. 

This is the final project for my Advanced Mechatronics class at Penn State University. The robot is the skeleton of a turret from the game Portal that uses an IP webcam to track a target and fire nerf bullets at them. This is the current state of the robot as of 5/9/12, but I am currently molding a shell for the frame to make it look like the Portal turret, along with improving my code to make the tracking faster. All programming is done with MATLAB and Arduino. Enjoy!

P.S. Fount another one, but it is not shooting :<

Portal 2 map creator

The idea is that Players will be able to create maps. And other players as you and me will be able to play the created maps in Portal 2.

The "Perpetual Testing Initiative" allows players to easily create, share, and play Portal 2 puzzles. The Initiative comes with a simplified puzzle maker that allows that creation of mind-bending puzzles without ever leaving the game.
"Perpetual Testing Initiative" will be available for the PC and Mac on May 8th.

Count divs in div with jquery

Solution for: We have several elements ( tags ) for example divs, in div or other object which can contain elements inside it with certain class or ID, and we want to count how many there are the certain elements. For example we have several divs:

<div class="div1">
 <div></div>
 <div></div>
 <div></div>
 <div></div>
 <div></div>
</div>

JQuery counter for the divs inside the div is:

$(document).ready(function()
{ 
 var divs_count = $("#div1 > div").size();
 alert(divs_count);
}

Disabled input with JQuery

We have in html inputs like text, radio, select and textareas.

In my situation i had radio inputs and i needed to create trigger which should effect other inputs ( disable them ).

My inputs:

<input name="order_type" type="radio" value="2" /><br />
<input name="order_type" type="radio" value="3" /><br />
<input name="order_type" type="radio" value="4" />

Other section which i want to disable:

<input class="viewspereach" name="text" type="text" value="" />

JQuery:

$("input[name=order_type]").change(check_ordertype);
  
  function check_ordertype()
  {
    var order_type = $("input[name=order_type]:checked").attr("value");
    
    if(order_type == 4)
    { 
      $(".viewspereach").prop('disabled', true);

    }
    else
    {
      $(".viewspereach").prop('disabled', false);
    }
  }

project_name\administrator\language\lt-LT\lt-LT.plg_content_jw_sigpro.ini  ( here and rename it )

Done.

Good luck!

Microsoft Flight Free to play

Free to play Microsoft flight simulator!

Microsoft's Flight Simulator has long prodded gamers to splash out on hardware upgrades and insane joysticks. Like Madonna, it's reinvented itself for the 21st century as a single-named free-to-play game for those who want to zoom around the skies of Hawaii. The company will make its money by selling premium add-ons including new aircraft and "adventure packs." The game is now ready for download (at the source link) and, if it proves popular, Redmond should expect a nice gift basket from AMD and NVIDIA this Christmas.
