Joomla 2.5 - How to control which cpanel-left is opened when Site > Control Panel is loaded? - joomla2.5

I have implemented an administrator module which I have published to position cpanel. Each time, the control panel is loaded, my module should be opened. Is there a control mechanism in Joomla 2.5 for this, or do I have add extra code for it?

Blank applet layout coming in Siebel before OpenUI rendering happens

We are using Siebel citizen portal application (IP 15.12). After login, we reach in to a landing page with 3 applets. These applets have some custom fields etc, but there is no UI customization we did (ie no PM/PR etc).
Now when we login, a blank layout of the applet appears for a few seconds (especially first load or after clearing cache) and then renders the original applet with Open UI layout. Since this is a customer facing application, our client has a lot of concern on appearing the blank layout before the actual rendered applet.
Could anyone throw some light here? Is this an Open UI behavior, if so is there any workaround for this?
With IP 15.18, We had similar issue of the list applets not loading data on initial (home page load) after login. Only the list applet titles were displayed but the form applet loaded elements, showing the busy cursor forever...
We were getting "Error downloading file define:siebel/htmltmplmgr" error in the browser console. we debugged and found that the localeobject.js was not loading, which is the dependency file mentioned in htmltmplmgr.js...So we added preload define parameter in the htmltmplmgr.js in the beginning to load the localeobject.js file before even the main function starts...then it started working...try this...
On first load or after clear cahce, it needs to load all JS files (vanilla) and other required files in Open UI. So, this is the default behavior of OpenUI.
Nothing much we can do with this. Else you can tweak down all unnecessary files from downloading.
I found this blog very useful, you can check.
http://www.askmesiebel.com/category/siebel-8-1-1-10-upgrade-issue/
edit the file htmltmplmgr.js in below folders
$SIEBEL_ROOT/siebsrvr/webmaster/siebel_build/scripts/siebel/
$SIEBEL_ROOT/SWEApp/public/enu/23048/scripts/siebel/
go to define section and add dependency files inside the square brackets
define("siebel/htmltmplmgr",[]
define("siebel/htmltmplmgr",["siebel/siebelconstants.js","siebel/localeobject.js"]
Note that you have to edit the files in both folders you can create a backup before making changes. If you just replace in public folder when you restart siebel server files will be overwritten from webmaster/siebel_build folder to public folder . Hence you have to replace in both folders and restart siebel server and web server.

Open cart product page goes blank upon theme upload (vQmod on)

Here's the scenario:
Fresh install of Open Cart. Fresh install of vQmod. Everything is working fine. But when I upload certain theme - purchased and licensed - the site has an issue. The home page is working, but the product page goes blank.
I have tried all possible combinations of OpenCart and vQmod versions (except for 2.0 for OC because the theme doesn't support it yet). I am out of ideas.
Edit: After showing all errors as adviced I finally saw the reason : "oc_product_tab' doesn't exist"
I found a solution. It turned out that the "Extra Product Tabs Opencart Extension" is missing. This is a standart free plugin that comes with template theme but it wasn't configured. It turnes out that the theme works with it.
Go to system>users>user groups and select all for both access and modify. Save. Than go to Catalog menu and click on Extra product tabs. Click Insert and add the module. That’s it. It’s a standard opencart module which is free for use.

Sitecore Upload Media from Page editor doesn't work

I am a new bee to Sitecore and here comes my first challenge at work.
In one of the website component, I want to add an image.
For this in content editor:
I'll click on browse.
Switch to folder view.
Navigate down to the folder you want to save into.
Click upload media on top left.
Click ‘Browse for media files’ and navigate to the image on the local drive and select it.
Enter alt-text and click upload media.
In Chrome the green bar for uploading never seems to finish. On IE one of the green bars changes to ‘Upload complete’. At this point there is no call to action to add the image to the module, select the module – you just don’t know what to do next.
Eventually you have to click ‘Back’ or ‘close’. Then when you go to find the image it is not in the folder you selected. It is in Upload folder. We cannot keep all of our files in ‘Upload’. We need to be able to upload into a chosen folder.
I am using Sitecore 7.2.
This works properly in a base site in Sitecore 7.2, but is not working in my website.
Is there any setting I need to change to make this work properly?
I know we can add media files into Media library directly and can use it. But we want to do it the using the above mentioned steps/ or using Page editor. The main problem is, this doesn't work while adding image from Page editor.
Hope I can get some solution!
many thanks!
I looked at the Release Notes for Sitecore 7.2 and found that there were several bugs related to Media Uploads that were resolved in Update 2 (140526), including some that relate to choosing the destination of uploaded media. From your description of the issue and the bugs that were fixed in Update 2, it sounds like you may only need to update to Revision 140526.
To find out what revision of Sitecore you are using, go to the Sitecore Desktop -> Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Administration -> Show About Sitecore Information. As you will see in the screenshot, below, there is a parenthesized revision number at the top. If that number is not 140526 then you should try to apply Update 2 to your instance.
Note that this screenshot is of an instance that is not running on Sitecore 7.2 Update 2, but is instead running on the initial release (140228).

Sitecore menu items not working - javascript errors

So I'm just starting to work in sitecore and for some reason none of menu options are working in Page Editor mode for the site that I'm working on. We pretty much have the sitecore website and add some extra page content (MVC app files) to it. I'm getting a variety of javascript errors.
In content Editor, if I click the Sitecore logo and click on Properties I get
TypeError: contentIframe.dialog is not a function
In page editor if I click on the blue components button I get:
TypeError: i.widget is not a function
I'm guessing maybe it's a conflict between jquery that we're using for this website and whatever Sitecore is using. I think it's 7 - but I can't see it via the menu option :)
That guess could be wrong - it could in fact be a browser issue, but I've ensured Firefox is not blocking popups. It doesn't work in Firefox, IE or Chrome though.
The weird thing is that no one else on the project is having this issue it's only on my computer.
Edit - I've also just tried re-installing (7.2) without any local code changes I still can't click on a page and go to Presentation, Details (Layout) - I get a TypeError: contentIframe.dialog is not a function
Edit 2 - I've noticed that I can use sitecore in the QA environment and the dialogs work fine there. So it's something specific to my local build of the site we have (sitting on top of sitecore). But the dialogs just throw jquery errors when I do stuff locally. I was hoping it would be a browser setting but doesn't look like it.
Edit 3 - What I've tried this morning.
Same thing happens in all browsers (FF, IE, Chrome) and I’ve cleared
my browser cache I can access the QA site and the dialog appears as
expected
Copied across the QA site files, pointed my local Digital
site in IIS to the new folder – dialogs don’t work
Team member tried accessing the site from his machine (pointing to my IP address) and
dialogs work for him
I tried seeing if another local sitecore site dialogs were working – but the menu items for that are opening as new windows (so I’m guessing it’s a sitecore 7.2 feature that they appear as jquery dialogs??)
So after googling for rejected-by-urlscan it turns out there's a program called UrlScan from microsoft that was blocking my dialogs. Uninstalled that and I now have dialogs appearing for sitecore. Very exciting :)
I guess it is a problem with some browsers plugin. Sitecore is sensitive to scripts that are used(different versions of jquery or prototype.js). Plugins can inject scripts to HTML source of pages and it can cause errors.
Try to switch off all plugins at least at one browser and check the results.

Joomla : how to create a Wrapper (iFrame) in tthe Backend Khepri Template

Hello freinds I need help as to how can I add 2 iFrames in the Joomla's Default Back-end Template Khepri.
I want to show the Hosting cPanel and also another application's Control Panel in these iFrames.
Kindly help.
The correct way to do this is to add a new module to the admin. Log in to your Joomla admin then select Extensions > Module Manager > Administrator.
This will get you to the modules manager for the administrative area. It works just like the front end. Click New module, then select Custom HTML and put your iFrame code in there.
