Joomla plugin manager missing options, how do I start trouble shooting this? - joomla

There are no options displayed when I'm looking at a plugin with the plugin manager. Where there should be a menu for basic and advance options is just white space. How can I start trouble shooting this problem? Other installed extensions work fine and hours of searching about plugin options make me think this is a peculiar error. This is what my menu looks like http://i.stack.imgur.com/s2S4K.png

The plugin you are using is not written for Joomla 1.6, the XML manifest needs to be updated at the very least. The plugin itself may also need to be rewritten. I would start withe the XML file first, you can find details on the changes that need to be made here - http://www.theartofjoomla.com/home/9-developer/112-upgrading-a-plugin-to-joomla-16.html

How can I automatically load the Google Style Rules to SonarQube?

I have found this xml with style rules: https://github.com/checkstyle/checkstyle/blob/master/src/main/resources/google_checks.xml .
I would like to save developers time from manually flagging non-conformities by loading the list into SonarQube but I haven't been able to figure out how.
Anyone able to help me?
Instead of loading the rules (you'd have to write a plugin for that) consider just loading the issues. The Generic Issue Data feature was added recently (7.2) for just that case.

Can VisualStudio autocomplete be like Eclipse's one

I am starting to write in C#. I use VisualStudio, but I don't like the autocomplete. I was mainly writing in Android and I really like the autocomplete of AndroidStudio and Eclipse. It there a way to make the VisualStudio's one the same? I don't like that when I have a one method which can take a different set of arguments (overloaded) I have to click up and down arrow, to see the parameters. Can it just show me a scroll list like AndroidStudio and Eclipse? And is there a way when autocomplete some method to put automatically the braces and semicolon- "();"? I am really new to VisualStudio and I don't know can I modified it in this way or I should have to use to it. I just don't find anything about this.
Thanks in advance.
I suggest to have a look at ReSharper plugin for VS. It is a complete package for enhancing Productivity, but it is not a free plugin. It also have some features you mentioned. also you can check this videos:

Disable "intelligent" anchor look up of link dialog

When adding a link using the default link-plugin, I want to be able to write "what-ever", e.g. #my-id. The link-plugin, doesn't allow this. It extracts all possible "anchors" in the current text being edited, but in my case, it is just part of a bigger "page".
Any ideas on configuration options, or do I need to write a custom plugin?
There are numerous suggestions around on how-to configure the existing plugins and remove UI-elements etc. It does not work in current version (4.4.3), but thankfully you can build your own plugin and remove the existing one, quite easily. There's a good explanation of a similar plugin in the documentation: http://docs.ckeditor.com
I also wrote a bit about this here: http://danielwertheim.se/2014/08/15/ckeditor-the-link-plugin-is-painfully-clever/

Getting modules working in Joomla 3.1.4

I am experimenting with Joomla 3.1.4. Whenever I add a new module the template does not show at all in the front-end. The site is blank. On disabling the new module it starts showing properly again. Even a basic hello world type of module does not seem to work and nor does a third party extension I have tried.
I can see them in the extension manager and in the module manager and they have installed successfully. Frustrated with all this I decided to install a new 3.1 template which too installed successfully. However this template does not show anything in the front-end either with my module enabled. It almost seems that there is some sort of security restriction which is disabling the template from rendering whenever any change is made to the basic installation.
Can someone please give pointers to resolving this odd behaviour?
Probably one or some of the core files required for the modules to work are missing.
Head to Global configuration and make sure your Error reporting is set to development. Reload the page and update your question with the error message.
Why not try the newer Joomla 3.1.5 (Download page)? I know that 3.1.4 had at least one problem which could possibly cause server errors in conjunction with extensions (the most likely reason for the blank page that you see).
In general, when encountering a blank page, the first thing to do should be to check the error log of your webserver!

Plugin development for KDE file manager

I want to introduce a new field when right clicking on a file in Red Hat file browser. Assuming what I have read, the default file browser is Dolphin. But I am not sure how to go about developing a plugin/hack which could do the above.
Any links on tutorials or development pages which could specifically help me getting the task done will be helpful.
Thanks in advance.
