Joomla - mod_articles_latest not showing latest - joomla2.5

I've tried searching around on the site and google with no luck so here goes;
In joomla, using the module mod_articles_latest, what could be the reason for it not showing the latest news? I get 4 news as i requested and i told it to choose by dated published yet it seems that it doesn't update when i add a new article to the category i told it to use.
I'm thinking cache might be the reason but i i have it turned off for the module.
Using joomla 2.5.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

First Make sure you haven't modify any files of mod_articles_latest. If you have modified then revert it n check. Second Check the list of articles & their published date. Even if it doesn't work then there are lots of free module which shows the list of latest articles on Joomla extension site. If you have half an hour & you know how to built Joomla module, you can proceed. At the end mod_articles_latest modules works perfectly for me. Thanks

Is there a modification of django framework in the last 24 hours?

We experienced strange behaviour. Especially under chrome, some items are missing. Anyone ?
Which version are you using? You should always pin the version you use, which means that once it's published, it will never change.
The code is open source, you can check yourself from the github repository and there are other more appropriate channels than Stack Overflow, IMO:
The Django weblog, where a post is published each time there is a new release.
The Django users mailing list/google group is another place where you can keep up to date.
PyPI gives you the release history.
Finally, with any open source software, don't be afraid of digging into the source code and see what has changed. Github has a great way of comparing between 2 tags, for instance for the latest 2 1.11.x relases: https://github.com/django/django/compare/1.11.16...1.11.17
There was 2 new bugfix relases published on each 2.1.x and 1.11.x branches yesterday, so if your dependencies aren't pinned, you might have auto-updated, but without further details it's hard to tell you more.

Confliction between joomla module and joomla plugin

Hai I am using two extensions in the same article page of a joomla article,
1.Module-->image crawler for slideshow
2.plugin-->dynamic chart for content display.
The problem here is If I unpublished the either one among these two working fine but Both together cannot.
Please get me solution for this.
Thanks in advance
You've got a javascript conflict, I would guess that both extensions are loading a different version of jQuery. Instal jQuery Easy to remove the extra versions and that should fix your issue.

Django A/B Split Testing Packages (None I've found are well-documented and up-to-date.)

There are two main schools of thought for doing A/B (Split) Testing:
Javascript-based solutions such as Optimizely, Google Analytics Content Experiments.
Server-side solutions such as Django-AB, Splango, and django-lean. (Also, writing your own.)
My understanding is that Javascript-based solutions are spectacular for "which color button converts better," but not so great for switching out entire page layouts, and completely unworkable for trying out large functional changes such as the sequence of pages in a funnel.
That leads me towards a server-side solution. I'm not crazy about coding my own, and will do so only if there is no other option. I'm trying to add value by improving the core functionality of my site, not by creating a better split-testing framework.
The Django apps I've found for split testing are various mixtures of unmaintained, undocumented, documented incorrectly, and incompatible with Django 1.5. This surprises me, because the Django and Python communities seem to have a strong focus on good documentation. I'm also very surprised that none of the testing frameworks I've tried has been compatible with Django 1.5 -- is testing not as core a part of the philosophy in the Django/Python world as it is in Rails?
Here's what I've found:
Splango https://github.com/shimon/Splango -- Not compatible with Django 1.5 (although most compatibility bugs I found were trivial to fix). Largely un-touched since October 2010, except for a fix August 2012 which claims to make sure templates get included in the install. Since templates don't get included in the install when Splango is installed via PyPI, either the fix didn't work or didn't get submitted to PyPI. Documentation is largely accurate, but doesn't completely cover how to set up tests and get reports. It tells you how to configure the template to gather the data, but there appears to be additional steps required in the admin interface which are completely undocumented, and I'm not sure I've done them properly.
Django-lean. Original at https://bitbucket.org/akoha/django-lean has not been updated since July 2010. There is an apparently "blessed" fork at https://github.com/anandhenry2002/django-lean which has not been changed since May 2012, when it was copied over from the original. The original's documentation is incorrect in ways that make following the examples impossible. (Though you can probably muddle your way through, as I did.) The new version's documentation has formatting problems that make it difficult to read on github. (This appears to be because it's the unchanged documentation from the old project, and BitBucket syntax doesn't work on Github.) The django-lean Google Group has not had a message since July 2012.
django-mini-lean https://github.com/DanAncona/django-mini-lean -- Updated as recently as February 2013, but undocumented.
Leaner - https://bitbucket.org/brianjinwright/leaner -- Last updated July 2012, and no docs.
Django-AB -- Last updated May 2009. Is not a package, and can't be installed via PIP or PyPI. After placing the checkout in my django app folder (and renaming the folder to ab) and following the installation instructions, I get an error loading the template loader that I have not tracked down further.
So far Splango appears to be the winner, as I've actually been able to get it more-or-less working (by manually installing the templates, and then editing them to fix Django 1.5 incompatibilities).
Can anyone point me to anything I've missed?
You have missed this app : https://github.com/mixcloud/django-experiments + https://github.com/disqus/gargoyle/
And then there's waffle: http://waffle.readthedocs.org/
It's simple, updated, maintained, but not very feature rich, it doesn't have any analytics/reporting stuff integrated. But then again, google analytics or mixpanel type of service is better for this.
I first looked at Django-AB and that is almost what I wanted, but I couldn't get it to work either. After looking at django-experiments and deciding I didn't want to mess around with redis yet, I decided to roll my own. I've tried to package it up nicely and make it easy to use for the beginner. It's super basic.

You can swap out entirely different page layouts with Google Analytics Experiments (their default experiment setup will redirect users to a different URL for each variation you have), although in general its much easier to interpret why something is more successful if you test smaller things against each other.
You are right that testing different funnels and user flows against each other using Google Analytics would require a lot of manual setup; although theoretically you could do it by swapping out different links and tracking your users with UTM campaigns.
For smaller A/B tests within the same page, I ended up using Google Analytics Experiments and writing a custom Django CMS plugin for adding a few variant options to a template, which queries the Google Analytics API and displays the correct variant using Javascript.

What are the advantages of using chiliproject over redmine?

This question already exists, but it is over one year old now and a lot has probably happened if the documentation is a good judge. There is no documented path to migrate from current redmine (2.1) to chiliproject for example.
Chiliproject is a fork of redmine, but I am unable to decide wherever I should migrate or not. There is no clear path as to how I should do the migrations and how much functionality I might loose.
Is there a way to compare the differences between the two projects? Is it worth to spend the time investigating the migration path?
If you have migrated what is your experience?
I searched StackOverflow for the "redmine vs. chiliproject" question because I am having a lot of trouble with installing plugins of any kind on the newest chiliproject version.
Usually, it looks like everything is working fine until you try to update the settings for the plugin (for example, install the Contact Form plugin and try to change something on http://SERVER:3000/settings?tab=contact_form), the debug log shows that the changes were made in the database, but they changes are never loaded back to the plugin page.
I have not been ale to find any documentation on potential changes to the plugin architecture in ChiliProject that would cause this. The plugin page does not list many plugins that are known to work with ChiliProject 3 either.
TL;DR: If you think that you will have any desire to use any existing plugins to extend the functionality of the program you choose, go with Redmine.

FaLang Alias Conversion not working in Joomla 2.5

I have installed FaLang component to use multi-language support everything is working fine except the alias structure. When we are switching the language the URL not get changes as per the added alias conversion added into admin section. I tried almost all activities enabling both plugins but still the problem is as it is.
I believe Shaz is correct, there is no solution within FaLang at this time.
I asked the developer about this in Feb 2012 and he mentioned he was still working on it, but currently, with FaLang v 1.1.7 it still doesn't happen.
Initially I was really excited when FaLang appeared, but now I'm not so sure. I work on a lot of multilingual sites, and I don't want to get get stranded with multilingual Joomla 2.5 sites as has happened to me with many Joomla 1.5 sites I developed with JoomFish.
I know many well respected developers like FaLang, but FWIW I now favour the native language capabability built into Joomla 2.5. It's not perfect, but for now they have my confidence that it will improve.
Unfortunately this doesn't solve your problem, but if you need an introduction to how it works, here is one good link:

and another one

Initially I found the process a bit cumbersome, but once I got used to it, it's works quite well ... and yes, the aliases work as you would expect.
Good luck!
