There may come a time in your life when you would like to check if someone is ‘Paypal Verified’ before you conduct business with them. Paypal kindly offers a link for this service:

If you login to your paypal account and replace ‘email’ with the email address you would like to check a page will display letting you know whether that particular email address is paypal verified or not. Now imagine that you needed to check hundreds or thousands of email addresses – this would be a tedious process… until now! The script below uses cURL to automatically login to paypal and check the status of the email address. Please use with caution and credit ecoIT.com.au!

Activation monitors the system configuration. If it detects a major hardware change or even too many minor hardware changes within a set number of days (some believes it’s 180 days before it resets) then it crosses the threshold and requires reactivation.
If you reformat your hard drive and perform a clean installation of the operating system, you need to reactivate the product. But, as long as the new installation is on the same system and there won’t be any hardware changes it is possible to transfer the existing product activation and skip having to go through the product activation process again.
Follow the setps below to save the activation status information and restore it once your system is rebuilt:
- Copy the files wpa.dbl and wpa.bak located at C:\Windows\System32 on a disk.
- After reinstallation say no when asked to activate windows.
- Reboot your computer in Safe Mode
- Go to C:\Windows\System32 and copy wpa.dbl and wpa.bak from your disk.
- Restart your computer.

Recently we installed JoomLearn LMS Silver edition on a website for a client. The system is fantastic, makes selling courses very easy and is nowhere near as expensive or costly as JoomLMS, but we ran into a bug:
Subsequent courses did not appear even after the prerequisite courses were successfully completed. Because this was an urgent fix (required in 1-2 hours) our solution was not to solve the issue, but to manage it. The JoomLearn system was inserting extra rows into the jos_lms_results table with the passed column marked as ’0′ even when the user hadn’t taken the course. The urgent fix was to change the following line in /public_html/components/com_lms/lms.php:
From
// get all results data of user from result table
$query="SELECT passed "
. "\n FROM #__lms_results"
. "\n WHERE tid=".$prevalue." AND userid=".$my->id;
To
// get all results data of user from result table
$query="SELECT passed "
. "\n FROM #__lms_results"
. "\n WHERE tid=".$prevalue." AND userid=".$my->id." ORDER BY passed DESC";
We reported the bugs to the staff at joomlashowroom so this should be fixed properly in upcoming releases.
Have a great week!
