Since Version 1.3.+ Zen Cart™ has moved away from its old table based layout to a CSS based layout.

CAPITALIZED words refer to a folder or language that you choose. We use CUSTOM for your template and ENGLISH for your language by default. Change these if needed.

How to get back the default admin access to HP Web Jetadmin

HPChallenge: This afternoon, a co-worker came to me and ask my help to retrieve her forgotten admin password for HP Web JetAdmin login. The situation was that she had been using another created profile too often to remember the default admin account logon credential. She tried the default password ‘admin’ but it did not work.

First, I asked whether this software uses any database to store password since I thought we can open any database tables. She said there was a MS SQL server installed on the server but she did not think we are using the database server now.

Then I figured it might use the flat file to store such user credential information, even I trusted such big company as HP would not do so. But anyway, I asked to take a look at the Web Jetadmin server. And I hope I can figure something more out from the web server logon script.

How to display random header images in K2 theme of WordPress

Maybe you already knew, but I just found out from my own experience. This afternoon, I tried to update the header image for this blog. I went into the back-end Dashboard, then click Presentation –>Custom Image Header. There I uploaded a new image, and got the confirmation message. But when I came to my live site, I still saw the old header image. No matter how many time I refreshed the screen, and I also purged the browser cache too. When I thought it was the bug of my K2 plugin/theme, I uploaded another new image but amazingly I saw the second image appeared when I refreshed the screen (I was supposed to see the third one)!

About the installation of YetAnotherForum

YetAnotherForumSome steps to install the free ASP.NET open source forum:

1. First of all, of course you should download this application from http://www.yetanotherforum.net/.
2. Prepare the Microsoft SQL Express database. If you have not installed any on your servers yet, you can download it from Microsoft website for free. When you are on Microsoft Download center, remember you not only need  SQL Server 2005  Express database service, but you also need SQL Server Management Studio Express to create a initial forum admin user.
3. Create a login for your new SQL database, and then a new database Instance. With such information, including Database Name and Logon Account/Password, you can modify the yanet.config first before you start to install the forum.
4. Finally, you can run the installation from the URL of http://yourdomainname/YaNet/install/default.aspx.

Recommend a free ASP.NET C# open source forum

YetAnotherForumCurrently it is very difficult to find a good ASP.NET discussion board program. Since one of my clients is using Windows hosting plan, it is not good to recommend vBulletin or PHPbb to him when he asked my suggestion on setting up a community forum.

To started, I did a little bit of researches on the following 3 asp.net forums.

  1. Jitbit 的 ASPNetForum 4.5.x (free, $85 and $169 versions)
  2. Austrian Active Data Online - Discussion Board 6.x ($200)
  3. England Instant Forum 4.x ($119 or $199)

Only AspNETForum offers the downloads, for the others you will have to go to their web sites for the demonstrations. To be summarized, all of the three above are not too bad, and not too expensive. Especially the AspNetForum can be free if you keep its logo on your forum. And AspNetForum is very clean and simple on the layout too. But “simple” is not always good for the administrators. In AspNetForum, you can not set up different type of boards, and you could not control the configuration from the back-end control panel either. For example, you will have to edit the web.config file to set up bad words filter.

Google Desktop 5.5 causes problem in Outlook 2003 which cannot open Forwarded Email Attachments

Since last week (at least I think from then) I could not open any attached emails in my Office Outlook 2003 any more. When some one forwarded an email to me with the original emails as an attachment, I clicked the attached email but nothing happened. Even I saved it as a msg file, but I could not open and read it in Outlook 2003 by double clicking as I used to.

I did not relate this problem with my Google Desktop till I checked on the web. It Seems that anyone who enabled latest version of Google Search add-in in Outlook 2003 would have the similar problem. Besides the attached emails, they could not open the added email items in the Calendar appointments. The version of Google Desktop Personal could be 5.5 beta, or similar version of Google Desktop Enterprise. I checked mine, which is Google Desktop 5.5.0709.30344-en-pb.
