With Diego Rivera. The house where he lived the first five years of his life is near this statue, and is now a museum. I retired in February, 2012, and now live in Guanajuato, in Mexico's central highlands. You can read all about the place in Wikipedia.

I've put up a couple of blog postings about Mexico here and here. There's more on the way.

A Joomla K2 component

Details: Published on Wednesday, 10 February 2010 08:29; Hits: 9098

This is for owners of sites built around the Joomla K2 component, and want visitors to be able to post comments, but not have to register with the site to do so.

com_tc_comments screen shot When a comment is posted, later visitors can vote "yes" or "no" on the comment (as in dailykos.com), or click "report" for inappropriate comments. The administrative area for this component lists reported comments and comments with more than three "no" votes. The administrator can delete reported comments, and also blacklist the IP address of the commenter.

This component uses Ajax, and the vote count is updated immediately.

This component, unfortunately, requires a patch to the K2 core. A patch file for version 2.5 of K2 is provided.

Updated for Joomla 2.5 on Feb. 11, 2012. Click here to download the component.
