TinyMCE strips away the OBJECT, PARAM, and EMBED tags and all of their contents that you have embed into the article?

To fix it go to the tinyMCE.init call is supposed to be on the page where you want TinyMCE to be present.

Basic JavaScript and HTML skills are necessary for integration with existing systems.

To start go to file: ../plugins/editors/tinymce.php

Find line:

tinyMCE.init({
// General...

and find: extended_valid_elements :

You should be able to see the default TinyMCE valid elements which look like this:

extended_valid_elements : "hr[id|title|alt|class|width|size|noshade|style],img[class|src|border=0|alt|title|hspace|vspace|width|height|align|onmouseover|onmouseout|name|style],a[id|class|name|href|target|title|onclick|rel|style]",

Now before the default valid elements paste the following.

IMPORTANT!!! WITH NO SPACES AND ALL IN ONE LINE!!!

extended_valid_elements : "iframe[src|width|height|name|align|frameborder],object[classid|codebase|width|height|align],param[name|value],embed[quality|type|pluginspage|width|height|src|align|allowFullScreen|flashvars|wmode],hr[id|title|alt|class|width|size|noshade|style],img[class|src|border=0|alt|title|hspace|vspace|width|height|align|onmouseover|onmouseout|name|style],a[id|class|name|href|target|title|onclick|rel|style]",

Now all Youtube, Vimeo... videos can be embedded into your articles.

Have fun!!!

Joomla! 1.5 date is stored in the file "language".ini. For example, for English, it is <Joomla! home>/en-GB/en-GB.ini.

You can change the date format by edit the values "DATE_FORMAT_LCx". By default, the date is in international format (for example, Thursday, 31 January 2008 18:30).

To change to standard US format (for example, Thursday, January 31, 2008, 06:30 PM), make the following changes:

DATE_FORMAT_LC=%A, %B %d, %Y
DATE_FORMAT_LC1=%A, %B %d, %Y
DATE_FORMAT_LC2=%A, %B %d, %Y %I:%M %p
DATE_FORMAT_LC3=%B %d, %Y
DATE_FORMAT_LC4=%m.%d.%y
DATE_FORMAT_JS1=m-d-y
%Y-%M-%D=%Y-%M-%D
%A, %B %E=%A, %B %e

These are the formats for the time

%H:%M = 00:00 through 23:59
%k:%M = 0:00 through 23:59

%I:%M %P = 00:00 am through 23:59 pm (I = upercase i)
%l:%M %P= 0:00 am through 23:59 pm (l = lowercase L)

(Note that %P will print the lowercase am/pm indicator for your locale, which may be blank.)

%I:%M %p = 00:00 AM through 23:59 PM (I = upercase i)
%l:%M %p= 0:00 AM through 23:59 PM (l = lowercase L)

Joomla! uses standard Linux date format codes. These codes are listed at the following link: http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

Joomla! runs on any platform including Windows, most flavours of Linux, several Unix versions, and the Apple OS/X platform. Joomla! depends on PHP and the MySQL database to deliver dynamic content.

The minimum requirements are:

• Apache 1.x, 2.x and higher
• PHP 4.3 and higher
• MySQL 3.23 and higher

Support

Support for the Joomla! CMS can be found on several places. The best place to start would be the Joomla! Official Documentation Wiki. Here you can help yourself to the information that is regularly published and updated as Joomla! develops. There is much more to come too!

Of course you should not forget the Help System of the CMS itself. On the topmenu in the Back-end Control panel you find the Help button which will provide you with lots of explanation on features.

Another great place would of course be the Forum . On the Joomla! Forum you can find help and support from Community members as well as from Joomla! Core members and Working Group members. The forum contains a lot of information, FAQ's, just about anything you are looking for in terms of support.

Two other resources for Support are the Joomla! Developer Site and the Joomla! Extensions Directory (JED). The Joomla! Developer Site provides lots of technical information for the experienced Developer as well as those new to Joomla! and development work in general. The JED whilst not a support site in the strictest sense has many of the Extensions that you will need as you develop your own Web site.

The Joomla! Developers and Bug Squad members are regularly posting their blog reports about several topics such as programming techniques and security issues.

Documentation

Joomla! Documentation can of course be found on the Joomla! Official Documentation Wiki. You can find information for beginners, installation, upgrade, Frequently Asked Questions, developer topics, and a lot more. The Documentation Team helps oversee the wiki but you are invited to contribute content, as well.

There are also books written about Joomla! You can find a listing of these books in the Joomla! Shop.

Out of the box, Joomla! does a great job of managing the content needed to make your Web site sing. But for many people, the true power of Joomla! lies in the application framework that makes it possible for developers all around the world to create powerful add-ons that are called Extensions. An Extension is used to add capabilities to Joomla! that do not exist in the base core code. Here are just some examples of the hundreds of available Extensions:

Joomla! provides plenty of flexibility when displaying your Web content. Whether you are using Joomla! for a blog site, news or a Web site for a company, you'll find one or more content styles to showcase your information. You can also change the style of content dynamically depending on your preferences. Joomla! calls how a page is laid out a layout. Use the guide below to understand which layouts are available and how you might use them.

As with previous releases, Joomla! provides a unified and easy-to-use framework for delivering content for Web sites of all kinds. To support the changing nature of the Internet and emerging Web technologies, Joomla! required substantial restructuring of its core functionality and we also used this effort to simplify many challenges within the current user interface. Joomla! 1.5 has many new features.

If you're new to Web publishing systems, you'll find that Joomla! delivers sophisticated solutions to your online needs. It can deliver a robust enterprise-level Web site, empowered by endless extensibility for your bespoke publishing needs. Moreover, it is often the system of choice for small business or home users who want a professional looking site that's simple to deploy and use. We do content right.
