Comment on VMWare ESX4 guests loosing network connectivity briefly. by Eric Snell

We just had the problem today and it affected all of our production VMHosts (over 30 guests) every 30 minutes. The solution above works; however, to assure the problem is ‘gone’ we have to do a clean reboot of the ESX servers that still see the dead path.

VMWare has a patch for this problem now which we are going to apply after we get this initial problem fixed.

Comment on Joomla Metamod positioning problem by Stephen Brandon

Hi again,

just wanted to let you know about the new MetaMod support site: http://www.metamodpro.com. There’s a forum (at last), some new recipes, FAQs, etc etc.

I’ve also released MetaMod Pro, which helps solve various layout and positioning issues that occur with some templates.

Regards,
Stephen

I had another look at Metamod, and looked at the suggestion Stephen made – he should really know as he wrote it!
I’m pleased to say it works perfectly, the mistake I had made was not realising that setting display in the menu section to none was what I needed to do.
My fault really for not reading the how to use notes properly by the looks of things, but glad to say its all working without my bodge around
Thanks Stephen.

Thanks very much for the post Stephen.
I did search around for a fix, but probably didnt use the correct explanation of my problem.
I’ll give the proper method a try, as its most likely going to work better than my “work around”
Thanks again.

Hi,

thanks for the mention of MetaMod, and sorry that it didn’t quite work as you expected.

However, the answer is very simple (and documented on the MetaMod home page) — on the module editing page for the module that MetaMod will include (or not), set the module to display on “none” (i.e. on no pages). That way it doesn’t show up my itself, as you discovered. And MetaMod is quite happy to include and display the module because it’s still “published”. So MetaMod ends up with full control over when it’s displayed or not.

This is documented on the “How to Use” section on the MetaMod page.

There’s lots of other good stuff on that page about all kinds of things you can do with MetaMod — GeoIP, random, 1-off display, rules based on user group and much more.

Best regards,
Stephen Brandon
