Here is a simple way to backup your joomla website databases using Telnet/SSH. Why using telnet? You can backup large  joomladatabases using telnet which is not possible from Phpmyadmin interface where memory is an issue.

BACKING UP MYSQL DATABASE USING TELNET

STEP 1:

FTP into your web site where you want to backup the database. Create a folder named ‘backup’ (or any name you want) in your public_html directory. Chmod it to 777. (Note: If your server API is CGI, you will get ‘Internal server error’ with 777. So if this is your case, chmod it back to 755.)

Show Hits at Joomla Category Pages with Each Item:

You want to show the hits for every article in category page too?

You need to add the following code in your category page:

<?php echo "Total Hits: ".$this->item->hits; ?>

You can change the "Total Hits: " with anything you want...

Ideally your joomla template should have html override folder... i.e. you need to open this blog_item.php file, and add the above code where you want to display the hits.

your joomla template > html > com_content > category > blog_item.php

This will work perfectly for you I am sure as we do this daily :-) If you do not know how to edit template or your current tempalte dont have the html override folder, let us know, and one of our coder will do implement this for you.

CSSViewer is a very handy add on for Firefox, which shows the css parameters of any element in a website. If you use it once then you cannot live without it.

The bad news are that it is not compatible with the Firefox 3.5.* version, and from what I can understand there are no plans for an update.

The good news are that there is a really easy way to install it and make it work perfect in Firefox 3.5.*
