Building a Social Network site on Joomla!

July 6th, 2009 by admin

Just a quick post today… I’ve been busy doing some research and building out a dev social networking site on the Joomla! platform these past 2-3 weeks.

Working with a relatively new client, and going over their spec sheet for functionality on the site started me to worry. At first I thought I might be in over my head, but after taking a look at all the extensions available on the JED, there are some very promising tools available. JomSocial, Kunena and K2 are just a few that will make this site rock! It’s exciting to watch it come together. I’ll post a link when ready.

Adding Google Apps to a MediaTemple domain

MediaTemple Account Center Domain Tab

MediaTemple Account Center Domain Tab

Just recently, a client of mine wanted to change their email platform over to Google Apps. The main reason being that the default web-based platform for MediaTemple(MT) being “Horde” just wasn’t to their liking. So, since I provide & manage their hosting through MT, I thought it would be nice to write this out briefly since there isn’t much in the way of documentation on MT’s knowledgebase.

  1. Make sure you’ve backed up your existing email accounts on this domain to your liking, because we’re going live with Google Apps and Gmail through this process
  2. Login to your MT AccountCenter
  3. Choose the domain you’re interested in using Google Apps on, and select “Edit Zone File”
  4. Remove any existing MX records
  5. Add the additional 5 MX and 1 Cname records from below to your zone file
  6. The last step requires you to login to your Plesk Control Panel and switch off the mail services for the domain in question
  7. That should do the trick…We’re just directing your mail services to Google, and if you decrease the TTL it should replicate quicker than usual
