Installing Magento without Mcrypt
problem:
Can't install magento as mcrypt is not enabled on php server, that happend on most of shared hosting
Solution:
Step One: edit /app/code/core/Mage/Install/Installer/Env.php, and find
Mage::getSingleton('install/session')->addError(
Mage::helper('install')->__('PHP Extension "%s" must be loaded', $extension)
);
just above it, add
if ($extension == 'mcrypt') {
return true;
}
Step Two: create /lib/Varien/Crypt/Base64.php and throw this into it
<?php
class Varien_Crypt_Base64 extends Varien_Crypt_Abstract {
public function __construct(array $data=array()) {
parent::__construct($data);
}
public function init($key) {
return $this;
}
public function encrypt($data) {
if (!strlen($data)) {
return $data;
}
return base64_encode($data);
}
public function decrypt($data) {
if (!strlen($data)) {
return $data;
}
return base64_decode($data);
}
}
Last Step: edit /lib/Varien/Crypt.php and change
static public function factory($method='mcrypt')
with
static public function factory($method='base64')
just done.

Update K2 to send mail notifications on new comments
Problem:
Really it's not a problem, is a new requirement to allow Joomla K2 component to send notifications when a new comment has been published on frontpage; i still don't understand how that functionality has not been implementd on standar release of K2.
Solution:
we need to edit the code that allow to save new comments, you can find that on components/com_k2/models/ item.php once.
1.- edit item.php and search for function comment()
2.- search string "...K2_COMMENT_ADDED_ AND_WAITING_FOR_APPROVAL..."
3.- before that line add the next code:

<strong>".JText::_('K2_REPORT_REASON')."</strong>: ".$reportReason." <br/>
<strong>".JText::_('K2_COMMENT')."</strong>: ".nl2br($row->commentText)." <br/>
";

$mail->ClearAddresses();
$mail->AddAddress($params->get('commentsReportRecipient', $mainframe->getCfg('mailfrom')));
$mail->Send();
