I’m looking for an easy and simple way to attach an image to a page. Right now I’m using Custom Fields where I insert the image path and then I have some PHP code in my page.php where it finds and displays the image but the people I’m creating the site for are having a seemingly hard time figure out how to do it right. So, I was wondering if there were any plugin available where you simply could select a image (possible from the media library) as the default page image and then be able to call something like get_page_image or some like that on the page?
Hope I’ve explained everything alright otherwise, please let me know.
Sincerely

This is what "Post Thumbnails" are used for. See http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Thumbnails

To explain it briefly, I'm trying to share the image as a URL.
But I need to update the image and I hope the URL doesn't change every time.
In other words, I am looking for a feature or site that can update images to the same URL.
I would appreciate it if you could let me know if there is a similar or the same service.
The way that comes to mind now is to add an image to the imgur and go out. We are looking for an alternative because the URL is the same, but it is a way to list images rather than just one image.
I am writing to seek help to display custom results in a SEF URL on Joomla CMS.
Example: This is a page with a customized search, https://jobwalkins.in/search.html?search=IT&exf_5=1&exf_4=-1&option=com_jomclassifieds&view=search&Itemid=147
I would like to display this link as https://jobwalkins.in/today-walkins-in-hyderabad.html
I am using https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/jom-classifieds/ as the extensions.
Any helpful inputs will be greatly appreciated. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Best Regards,

I was able to get the desired output using https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/sh404sef/. The website in question https://jobwalkins.in/ now shows the predefined search results in custom URLs.
Here are a few of them which I was able to achieve:
https://jobwalkins.in/jobs-in-bangalore.html where the actual link was https://jobwalkins.in/search.html?search=&exf_5=2&exf_4=-1&option=com_jomclassifieds&view=search&Itemid=147
https://jobwalkins.in/today-walkins-in-hyderabad.html where the actual link was https://jobwalkins.in/search.html?search=&exf_5=1&exf_4=-1&option=com_jomclassifieds&view=search&Itemid=147
It works even for the links where the keywords are searched ex:
I searched for a keyword "fresher" and have set the page to render on custom URL https://jobwalkins.in/fresher-jobs.html where the actual link was https://jobwalkins.in/search.html?search=fresher&exf_5=-1&exf_4=-1&option=com_jomclassifieds&view=search&Itemid=147
The sh404SEF https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/sh404sef/ worked great and helped me address my concern very well.
Hope this post is useful for someone who may have a similar issue.
I am trying to create a one-page WordPress website, something like the ones you sometimes see in ThemeForest's WP section: the whole website is a long page that has everything in one place, from about us, to portfolio, to some blog posts, to contacts.
Placing all things on one page is not difficult. But when I started thinking about how to present individual posts and pages, I realised that I probably need a general way of getting posts' data via AJAX, and create new blocks with JS. How should I go about this? I suppose this was done before, but I struggle to find something this specific on Codex or a tutorial with best practices.
Any advice or link will be greatly appreciated.
You could use a plugin such as jQuery Easytabs, download it here, that has a built-in Ajax component.
I've found that the easiest way is to just get all content to load into the divs ahead of time, vs. trying to load all pages through Ajax. However, appending something like '?ajax/ajax' to the end of your urls through the Easytabs plugin is one option that I have successfully used in the past.
If you decide to use the easytabs functionality, there is ample documentation on the page that I linked to.
I was hoping someone can help me fix an issue. When someone posts a link to my joomla created website, they get the heading "Whats New?", which is my default article page for the site. It is the current blog articles written.
For example, if someone posted my link on facebook, it would look like this:
Whats New?
MyDomain.com
Description of website goes here...
Everything looks great except for the "Whats New?". Is there a way to put My webpage name instead of the name of the default page? How about showing an image? When posted on facebook, there is just text and no image used.
Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated
Facebook uses Opengraph data to build those posts. If facebook isn't offered OpenGraph data, then it will use its own methods to try and find the information it needs. Sometimes with useless results. There are a lot of options to fix this. Joomla extensions has a few opengraph extensions for you to install, some of those should work fine. You can always write something yourself or add the data in your template. But don't expect results right away, because facebook caches those media objects for some time.
Open graph: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/
Joomla Extensions: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/site-management/seo-a-metadata/open-graph
There are more ways to fix this, but this is probably the easiest for you. Hope it helps.
Good Luck.
In the Joomla backend, do the following:
Open the menu item the the article is assigned to.
On the right hand side, open the Page Display Options panel
Add whatever you like to the Browser Page Title parameter.
Hope this helps
I wish to create a drag and drop feature for adding profile picture using CakePHP. Are there any samples which I can follow or a step by step guide?
I sourced many samples online but none of them cater for CakePHP.
I basically need a simple drag n drop for users to drag their profile image and the URL of the image is reflected in the database. The user will be able to edit another profile image. What approach should I use for this?
what you want to do is mostly about front-end, the back-end is generic server handling (in this case, PHP upload handling) and has little to do with Cake. That's why you don't see a specific cake tutorial for this. So, look up jquery drag drop and ajax upload. You'll also need to understand Cake rather well (well enough to adapt those online sample code to your Cake app).
I recommend you to use jQuery UI's draggable and droppable interactions.
Integrating them in CakePHP is quite easy, just follow the manual instructions to include Javascript files in a CakePHP application.
Finally, updating the database to reflect the URL of the image can be easily done with jQuery as well, using the AJAX related methods (e.g. post).
