Rocket Theme Terran Tribune IE6 parentnode null or not an object problem

terran tribune, joomla, rocket theme, javascript ...

I found interesting bug in Terran Tribune template for Joomla by Rockettheme. If you dont have any article on frontpage published and you setuped to show only one leading article you will experience next error in IE "parentnode null or not an object" in mootools.js. Solution is that you publish at least one article on frontpage and then if you dont need any articles setup front page to show zero leading articles zero intro articles. So your frontpage article will never show up. In cases that you are using your frontpage for articles you will not expereince this error. Actualy error can be seen in Opera (check the error console) and Firefox but they will not warn you with annoying popup window.
I am almost sure that another Rocket theme templates have a same issue.

gator, joomla, rss, feed

Feed Gator is Joomla component which import rss feeds into Joomla content items. So if you find good feeds for your site you will always have fresh news. I just installed Feed Gator at my http://www.evilscience.monoblue.org web site and had few problems. My source rss feeds was from blogger, so they have compatibility issue with magpie parser used by Feed Gator. So i burned my rss feeds with free google service www.feedburner.com and turned on option for maximum compatibilty of feeds. Then i added that new feeds to Feed Gator. After that i scheduled cron job from CPanel and set it up at every 6 hours. Now my site is updated every six hours with new content. Also i added no follow plugin. You can find new feed gator version on project homepage
http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/feedgator/.
Also next version will use Simple Pie parser so you will not have need for feedburner.com with incompatible feeds...
