Re: Jira Bot for Slack – Automatically get jira status and links in slack

NateFinch — Thu, 28 Jun 2018 11:05:49 -0000

FYI, I totally can't see links on this page. The links are like 10% darker than normal text, and until I moused over them, I didn't even realize there *were* links. You might look into tweaking your theme a bit to make them more obvious. I've been staring at this page for several minutes trying to figure out why you're talking about a slack bot but didn't link to it.

Re: Sonos Playbar: Samsung Smart Remote Setup 2016

Jeff Wade — Tue, 26 Dec 2017 15:36:19 -0000

I think I can shed some light on this issue. I purchased 2 of the Samsung Frame TVs (a 65" and a 55") this holiday season. Mine also came with the white remotes that are shown in this thread. I have a Sonos Playbar optically connected to each TV and spent many hours trying to get the remote to control the Player volume. Here's what's going on...

All of the articles I have read focus on trying to get the remote to generate IR signals to the Playbar, but I have determined that the IR signals do not come from the remote...they come from the OneConnect base unit!

My 55" Frame has the OneConnect base and all of the HDMI devices stacked in an open shelf unit just below the Playbar. The 65" is in a large room with all of the components (including the OneConnect base) in an enclosed cabinet, except for the Playbar. The 55" remote will control the Playbar volume, but the 65" remote will not.

Here's what I did:

1) On both TVs, I plugged in the UVerse receiver (HDMI 1) and the Apple TV (HDMI 2) and the Playbar (Optical)

2) I ran through auto setup and let the Frame discover the devices

3).I went into "Source" on each TV and chose "Universal Remote"

4) I created a Home Theater Device and used the "Search" field to search for Sonos (it appears in the search results) and selected it.

5) I tried the Power Test and chose "No" the first time

6) I tried the Power Test again and chose "Yes" this time (it doesn't really do anything, just answer "Yes" and select "Done")

7) Go back into "Source" and select "Universal Remote" again

8) Select each HDMI device and choose "Use with Home Theater" device, then hit the HOME button on the remote

9) If your OneConnect base is near the Playbar, the volume control will now work as expected. If you place a big pillow or box over the OneConnect base, you'll notice that the volume control no longer works. That's how I figured out where the IR signals were coming from. The remote sends a Bluetooth command to the OneConnect base and it generates the IR signals to the Playbar.

10). Since all of my equipment is placed properly with the 55", it works great. For my 65", I purchased a Shaxon wireless IR repeater kit and placed the receiver end in the cabinet in front of the OneConnect base, and put the transmitter on a.shelf pointed at the Playbar. Success! I now have volume control of my Playbars using the Samsung remotes.

Here's a link to the Shaxon kit I purchased: https://www.frys.com/produc...

Hopefully this will help others get this working! Good luck!

Hi thanks for the solution, but I have an additional problem. I have an Amazon Fire TV, PC, and PS4 connected to the Samsung TV via HDMI and those devices don't show up in the universal remote source setup area so there is no way to select "use with home theater" there is no way to add them as a new device there either to my knowledge. Do you have any solution for this? Thanks

Rao Abid — Wed, 19 Oct 2016 08:27:46 -0000

Hi Steve,

When you are in File manager of c-panel, It should be in your public_html/var/session

or if your magento installation is in a sub directory e.g "magento"
then it will be in: public_html/magento/var/session

Re: Magento Extension: Remove states from Magento

Henry Roger — Thu, 21 Jul 2016 02:52:38 -0000

You may want to remove certain states at checkout page because

You don’t want to ship items to some states for free
Delivery of items to certain states is risky
Just want to shorten the list

You can do the following

Override _getRegions($storeId) method of Mage_Directory_Helper_Data class.
Assign the Region Codes which you want to remove to an array i.e. $excludeRegions variable.
Add logic to remove above region codes from available list

Thankyou So much, I gained access to my site again with your help.

Appreciate.

For someone to about how to find these columns:

Please run this SQL in your phpMyAdmin:

First Query to find "web/secure/use_in_frontend":

/* Start of SQL Query */
SELECT *
FROM `core_config_data`
WHERE path LIKE 'web/secure/use_in_frontend';
/* End of SQL Query */

in the results, Change Value "1" to "0".

Second Query to find "web/secure/use_in_adminhtml":

/* Start of SQL Query */
SELECT *
FROM `core_config_data`
WHERE path LIKE 'web/secure/use_in_adminhtml';
/* End of SQL Query */

in the results, Change Value "1" to "0".

and you are done with Database, then follow the step offered below by "Mmm, Speciosa! "
as:

"3. Clear /var/cache, /var/session and after you've done the above and regained access your system, reindex your URL_rewrite index
after changing settings. This is necessary because your config is
cached and clearing it forces a reread of the configuration data from
the core_config_data table."

Thats all.

The tips are quite good in the sense that they are equally useful for all platforms like I have a PrestaShop FME Store and I can make use of them easily. Additionally, I want to ask that is there important to place keywords for your website home page??? I think Google don't considers them now.
