Table padding

For anyone having trouble with embedded Joomla HTML tables here is a modified content.html.php file with the 'invisible' table formatting removed.  Simply replace the original file with this one (located here <Joomla>/components/com_content/).

Page titles are in H1 tags.

content.html.php

Or simply add

table {
 border-collapse: collapse;
 border-spacing: 0;
}

to your layout.css file

Changing default media manager directory (com_media)

The idea here is to direct your clients straight to the "/images/stories" directory when they open the Media Manager in the administrator. This then removes the need to verbally mention the ridiculously named "stories" directory when you're explaining how to add images.

File: /administrator/modules/mod_fullmenu.php

Change line 83: 
   ?>            ['<img src="../includes/js/ThemeOffice/media.png" />','Media Manager','index2.php?option=com_media',null,'Manage Media Files'],

To: 
   ?>            ['<img src="../includes/js/ThemeOffice/media.png" />','Media Manager','index2.php?option=com_media&listdir=/stories',null,'Manage Media Files'],

ie you need to open the url "index2.php?option=com_media&listdir=/stories"
