So I was installing JCE 1.0.4 on an IIS server today and I ran into the error:

CGI Error:
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.

After some snooping around I found out that it had to do with an image on line 190 of the plugin.html.php. If you remove the height and width from the image tag then everything works. Don’t ask me why, it just does. And why does this happen on an IIS server and not a Linux based one? I don’t know.

This morning the Young Americans Fund, a Non-Profit Soapbox client, launched their Web site in an effort to better engage young people in US politics. Headquartered in Vermont, the organization aims to show the relevance of politics in the lives and futures of the youth generation. As they write:

“The future may seem a long way off for young Americans, but decisions that will determine our quality of life as adults are being made today. The time is now to challenge the short-sighted policies of our elected officials and demand serious change.”

“The Young Americans Fund uses the political process to focus attention on the issues that will shape the world in which we and future generations must live. Learn more about how your elected representatives voted on the issues that matter most for young Americans by clicking on our Congressional Scorecard.”

Many thanks to April and our friends at Democracy in Action on their efforts to provide the scorecard and database for this new site.

So I got a fresh install of Joomla! and a fresh install of JCE. No problems so far. I wrote my content, put some anchors in, and made a link from the top of the page to the anchors. Everything looked great in the backend but when I tested out the anchors it was sending me to the frontpage as if the anchor was there. After some snooping I found out that there seems to be some problems with JCE and mossef. The quick fix is to just turn off mossef. There is some good posting on it at the Joomla! Forum.

If you’re using Squirrel Cart as your shopping cart and PayPal to handle payment transactions you might be interested in this. I did some research the other day and found out how to set up a Payment Data Transfer so now after PayPal receives a payment a confirmation will be sent to Squirrel Cart to complete the order, making life a bit easier.
