Windows 7 VPN computer-to-computer

This allows a connection from the COMPUTER1 to the COMPUTER2 computers.

Additional configurations

Router Port Forwarding

On the Linksys router, I setup port forwarding for TCP/UDP traffic on port 1723 to forward to the COMPUTER2 computer.

Firewall

On the COMPUTER2 computer, I setup a firewall rule to allow INCOMING traffic on port 1723. I made it specific by allowing only my user account to do this.

Antivirus

Some people report issues with their antivirus and/or internet security software blocking traffic. Avast seems to be ok.

siegelslanding.com front page content layout

To adjust the settings for the layout of the siegelslanding.com front page, such as columns, etc., go to Menu\Top Menu\Home and then edit the Parameters (Basic) options on the right. You can adjust how many columns appear, how many articles on the page, etc.

Photo dimensions for front page

1 column  - 730px Wide x 451px High
2 columns - 360px Wide x 222px High
3 columns - 235px Wide x 145px High

After inserting the photo into the article, set a margin of 0 for all 4 sides to align it with the text better.
Photos should be uploaded/saved to \a\sl\images\stories\myphotos.

Phoca document library: setup files for download

The Phoca component is used as a document library (it replaces the legacy DocMan component).

To configure video files for use in the library

  • Using Mozilla FileZilla, FTP/upload the video file(s) to the following directory:
/a/sl/phocadownload
  • Once uploaded, they are available to be loaded by the Phoca component admin GUI
  • Go to Components | Phoca Download | Files
  • Click the New (+) button to add a new file
  • Enter the Name
  • Next to the Filename field, click the File button to select the previously-uploaded file
  • Choose a Section and Category
  • Click Save

You should now see the file listed on the Joomla web site.

Note: .MOV video files are not supported formats. However, they can be renamed to .MP4 files before uploading and will download and play fine.

Handbrake may be used to reduce the file size using an iPod Touch optimized profile.
