Singkat saja, lagi-lagi ini adalah catatan yang penting agar bisa dilihat kembali jika ingin membuat website dengan memanfaatkan Virtuemart.
Problem Currency
Default Currency: Rupiah
Input Currency: Dollar
Bagaimana caranya edit Currency Rate secara manual? Jadi harga Rupiah yang tampil bisa sesuai dengan yang kita mau.
Pada Joomla/Virtuemart Currency Rate diupdate secara otomatis dan berdasarkan pada mata uang Euro. Karena melalui dua kali pengkonfersian terkadang harga yang muncul tidak sesuai dengan yang kita inginkan.
Berikut adalah cara memperbaikinya agar Currency Rate bisa kita atur secara manual:
Pada public_html buka folder cache
Temukan daily.xml — buka dan edit
Ubah Euro terhadap USD menjadi 1 — Kemudian Euro terhadap IDR menjadi rate “yang kau kehendaki”
Agar tidak berubah-ubah terus setiap hari, maka ubah permission file daily.xml menjadi 644
Pada website atau blog berbahasa Indonesia, sering kali iklan google adsense yang muncul adalah melulu iklan layanan masyarakat. Kita tidak dapat penghasilan dari iklan semacam ini, dan penampilan dari situs pun kurang enak dipandang. Untuk saya pribadi, saya lebih suka yang muncul adalah iklan adsense dengan bentuk gambar.
Oke, tidak dapat penghasilan dari google adsense tidak apa, mungkin kamu punya website lain atau barang dagangan yang ingin dipromosikan, atau hanya sekedar ingin mempercantik website dengan gambar-gambar? Bagusnya google adsense memberikan opsi untuk menampilkan iklan pribadi atau gambar tertentu sesuai dengan keinginan kita masing-masing. Kita hanya perlu menyesuaikan ukuran banner yang akan ditampilkan saja.
Pertama, siapkan banner sesuai dengan ukuran iklan google adsese, 120 x 600 / 160 x 600 / 250 x 250 / dll. Bisa berupa gambar atau tulisan. Silahkan buat banner dengan alat apa saja yang kamu kuasai, kemudian upload ke hosting.
Kedua, banner yang sudah jadi tersebut dapat ditampilkan hanya sebagai gambar saja ataupun sebagai gambar yang dapat di klik dan mengarah ke suatu situs tertentu.
Jika hanya sebagai gambar. Pada google adsene bikin iklan baru atau edit iklan yang sudah ada. Pada saat itu kamu akan melihat bagian MORE OPTIONS yang berisi 3 pilihan: Show public service ads,
Cara apapun yang kamu pilih, kemudian klik save dan tunggu 10 menit maka iklan buatan sendiri akan muncul.
Dengan cara ini maka iklan layanan masyarakat digantikan dengan iklan buatan pribadi. Gunakan untuk mempromosikan situs kamu yang lain atau hanya untuk sekedar mempercantik situs.
Favicon merupakan salah satu identitas untuk pengunjung dapat mengenali website kita. Tiap-tiap website memiliki favicon yang unik dan berbeda sesuai dengan keinginan pemilik-nya masing-masing.
