Joomla bits to remember

I'm always forgetting Joomla settings or configuration... you'd think because I was running 3 set-ups it would be somewhat easier to remember... but nupe... for the life of me the information I need is always buried deep in my brain cells... so this posting is really just for me... it's the bits and bobs that always escape me when I need them the most

image links have to be full urls for RSS Feeds...

In /components/com_rss/rss.php

Replace $item_description = mosHTML::cleanText( $item_description ); with
// Removed to allow URLS to be included as active links in feeds.
// $item_description = mosHTML::cleanText( $item_description );
