Having pulled off the first successful nonprofit film festival, the team at Lights. Camera. Help. has started filing for 501(c)(3) status to better fulfill out mission.

Last year, we received over 140 submissions and showed 20 films for or about nonprofits.  The results was the movie “Art From the Streets” winning $1,000 for a Austin, TX charity which helps homeless artists sell their works.

You can help nonprofits have their films shown, as well as take advantage of our education programs and workshops to tell their story using movies.

Donate now if you want to help kick start this mission.

Austin Time Exchange Network

The Austin Time Exchange Network (ATEN) is one of the many Time Banks in the United States and around the world which allows local communities to exchanges services without depending on cash for absolutely everything.  This has become more important as people find themselves with less cash, strained employment and crunched credit.

Boasting almost 300 members, the Austin Time Exchange is approaching four years of exchanges between members of the Austin community and surrounding cities. More »

Information on this problem seems sparse or spread around, so I thought I’d post it here.

I upgrade last week to Joomla 1.5.11

We noticed the problem of Category Blog not showing in proper order after that.

It was stuck on Order no matter how I configured the Category and Primary Order.
I set it to Primary order only, then Primary to most recent. Even which I changed this around, it remained in order.
I changed to multiple templates and it was stuck on Order.
I changed it from Blog view to List View and it was stuck on Order.

I finally looked at the 1.5.11 patch

This was added to:
components/com_content/models/category.php

Code:

 if ($filter_order && $filter_order_Dir)

 {
 $orderby .= $filter_order .' '. $filter_order_Dir.', ';

 }

+       elseif($filter_order == '' && $filter_order_Dir == '')

+      {

+            $filter_order='a.ordering';

+            $filter_order_Dir='ASC';

+            $orderby .= $filter_order .' '. $filter_order_Dir.', ';

+      }

I removed the added lines and it works again – selecting by most recent first.

It looks like they removed the code for the next patch
