Dynamic Content using tours

2012-04-08T23:02:00.000-07:00

Today I'll show you a solution using jquery to show dynamic content in a great way... First, take a look to this demo, this plugin encourages our content through tours. This type of animation can be achieved using a path that we created a very simple.

It uses mostly CSS effects to work but in case the browser does not support those effects this plugin disable them.

This is a example code :
$(".your-container-element").scrollPath({
drawPath: true,
wrapAround: true,
scrollBar: false,
callback: function() {
alert("You've reached the end!");
}
});

Here you can find a very good documentation for this plugin and also the source

OldServiceComponentException: Build namespace ...

2012-03-26T09:44:00.000-07:00

When you re build your service.xml in your portlet plugin project, sometimes you'd find this error:

Caused by: com.liferay.portal.OldServiceComponentException: Build namespace

The way to fix it is edit your service.properties and change the value of this line: build.number to the one the exception told you it should be!

and that's all, friends.

2011-09-28T13:10:00.000-07:00

Hi, I'll teach you how to read a file in Python

Python is a hight level programming language, very powerful and clean syntax.

file = open("C:/myfile.txt",'r') # open myfile in read mode
mylist= ["Words"] # create a list
while True:
      myline = file.readline()
      mylist.append(myline) # add a new node
      if not myline: break # end of file
for elemento in myList:
      print elemento

Uninstalling Oracle on Ubuntu

2011-09-12T22:47:00.000-07:00

Hi folks, again I passing on valuable information
We all know that Oracle is an excellent product and so on but do not always want on your machine for various reasons ... To uninstall Oracle on Windows simply use the Wizard and go problem solved. But we must put him in Ubuntu more labor, but because many things can go wrong, and if they want to know what things they invited him to try it for yourself.

Finally, the procedure to uninstall Oracle Linux on your machine is:

$ su -
$ dpkg -P oracle-xe-universal
$ rm -rf /usr/lib/oracle/
$ rm /etc/oratab
$ rm /etc/init.d/oracle-xe
$ rm -rf /usr/share/doc/oracle_xe

Success! We already have Oracle uninstalled.

Pd 1: Do not remember if we have to restart or not, but we lose nothing by doing so entering the following command sudo reboot

Pd 2: The $ sign means that we are working on the console
