Stupid mistakes that mess you up for hours

1. Someone remind me that $pages->get("/home/") does NOT get the root home page!!!!!!

(However correct it might look...)

Try $pages->get("/") instead..... or an id or something sensible.

Any others?

No, not like yours, that's just really stupid

[Joss]

Love you too....

I had one of these about a week ago as I was working on the ProcessDiagnostics module. I managed to inadvertently delete just the first line ("<?php") of index.php from the root directory and save the file. Apache started serving the index.php file as plain text - made me think that I'd messed up my apache config or .htaccess but it turned out to be my fat fingered deletion of a line on a file I shouldn't even have been editing. Dumb.

Greetings,

Well, earlier this week I was getting very little sleep and working on three projects simultaneously. I was making some changes to the CSS file for project 1, and kept reloading the page, wondering why that particular CSS change wasn't taking effect. I even opened Firebug and could not see the change. You can guess the reason.

Sorry Joss, it's not as bad as yours. But there is a connection here: I was thinking of a certain pirate narrator while working. How do pirates get WiFi while out at sea?

Thanks,

Matthew

i sticking with $pages->get(1);
i like using id's instead of names.
