Typo3 hook when user logs in

best is to have your own extension under a folder like vendor_name (notice the underscore and the camelcasing below). in your extensions ext_localconf.php, configure your hook like: // hooks when logging in $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['t3lib/class.t3lib_userauth.php']['postUserLookUp'][] = 'VendorName\Classes\Hooks\AfterRegistrationHook->postLogin'; and our file vendor_name/Classes/Hooks/AfterRegistrationHook.php should look like:

function postLogin(&$params, &$pObj) {
  if ($pObj->loginType === 'FE' &&
            $pObj->loginFailure === false &&
            is_array($pObj->user) &&
            $pObj->loginSessionStarted === true
        ) {
   print_r($params);
   die("here we are just after the user has logged in");


        }

 }

What is the current mysql license, how to find it?

Hi, You're wondering how to find the current mysql license? One should just query the instance variables, it's as easy as this:

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%license%';

That's it! (of course one needs first to connect to the instance like : mysql -u your_username -p )

ASP Classic Recursively Delete Files (older than) and folders

In ASP Classic (VBScript), this piece of script will recursively walk through all subfolders and remove all files older than 6 hours (change it to days, weeks, months), and all empty subdirectories.

DeleteFiles("C:\cleanThisSub")

dim fso
Set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

' recursively deletes files older than 6 hours and the empty directories
Sub DeleteFiles(ByVal sFolder)
    Set folderObj = fso.GetFolder(sFolder)
    dim aFiles, aSubFolders, aSubFolders2, file, folder, folderObj2
    Set aFiles = folderObj.Files
    Set aSubFolders = folderObj.SubFolders

    For Each file in aFiles
        if ( DateDiff("s", file.DateLastModified, Now()) > 6 * 3600 ) then
            'delete files older than 6 hours
            response.write "del " & file.Path & "<br>"
            fso.deleteFile(file.Path)
        End If
    Next

    For Each folder in aSubFolders
        Set folderObj2 = fso.GetFolder(folder.Path)
        DeleteFiles(folder.Path)
        Set aFiles = folderObj2.Files
        if aFiles.Count<1 then
            set asubfolders2 = folderObj2.SubFolders
            if aSubFolders2.Count<1 then
                ' subfolder is empty, can be removed
                response.write "rmdir " & folder.Path & "<br>"
                fso.deleteFolder(folder.Path)
            end if
        end if
    Next
  
End Sub

Windows 10 Unable to open Link in Mail

For a while now, every time i clicked a link inside any email , within the Windows 10 Mail app,
this failed with the warning 'Unable to open Link: http://... '.

After some research i've figured it is due to the fact that i stopped&disabled the windows Firewall service.
As soon as i opened services.msc , scrolled down to windows firewall, and started it - all windows 10 mail Links started opening up immediately, like magic!


Thanks Microsoft + Windows 10.
You're doing a great job.

Backup Database and Website in PHP without MYSQLDUMP

On some configurations, mysqldump is not available.
So how does one backup his database without mysqldump, but only PHP at hand?

 Here is a workaround in pure PHP (just a little additional help from tar and zip - can be completely skipped). This piece of script will create its own backup directories if they don't exist (yes it needs write rights to the destination directory), get a backup of the database (in chunks, not to break or stall the database), tar-zips the backups, and the cherry on top: it will delete old files - so they don't build up to use your whole disk space.

To run it, of course you need to configure it correctly with your database name, username, password, hostname, authorization password, and perhaps the paths to the directories to the backup output files.

If you're gonna use this piece of script, please drop me a line, i'll be happy to hear about it!

How to add a toolbar to your Windows 8.1 taskbar (for example, QuickLaunch)

I personally was missing in my rather new Windows 8.1, the Quick Launch Toolbar - that used to exist in older Windows versions. So i created my own, new, custom QuickLaunch toolbar. Here's how:

Basically any valid Windows folder can become a new toolbar. So all you need to do is create a folder, wherever you wish on your hard-disk, with any name of your choice. I personally went to the Documents folder (start screen, type Documents, press enter), right-clicked and created a New -> Folder, which i have named 'QuickLaunch'.

Right-Click on an empty area of your Win 8.1 taskbar. From the menu, choose Toolbars -> New Toolbar and just select the folder of your choice - in my case it was C:\Users\luciancostin\Documents\QuickLaunchToolbar

There it goes - the toolbar already appears on our taskbar. Whatever shortcuts or programs we put in there, they will be automatically displayed (here's how to create for example, a 'show desktop' icon).
For adding my Firefox icon, i've browsed to C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox , right-clicked on the 'firefox' program, chose 'Create shortcut' from the context-menu, cut (ctrl+x) this shortcut, and pasted it in my newly created folder.

For further customization of the toolbar (because by default, it has a rather strange appearance, showing the title, and the names of the links in here), one must:
1. unlock the taskbar: right-click your taskbar ,make sure the 'Lock the taskbar' menu item is not checked.
2. feel free to drag the margins and the whole toolbar wherever you like it, and to your preferred size.
3. right-click the toolbar for options, uncheck the 'show title' and 'show text' menu items - to get to the original 'quicklaunch' toolbar look & feel.
4. lock back the taskbar: preferably you'd want it to stay in place, so better to lock it back. Just right-click your taskbar and check the menu item 'Lock the taskbar'

That's it! :-) our new toolbar:
