I search the EE Docs, EE Forums and CI Docs all the time. I created a short alias in the Chrome for each site to save time. Chrome allows you to create custom search engine options. You can see how here.

I’ve had this twice now on my Freeforms so thought it may help someone else.
One of my form element names had a leading space which caused this error.
How I found it was to add a little debugging to the core.
In the file: core.input.php (EE v1.7.0) there is a method called: clean_input_keys on

Here’s a simple, generic User Message Template that’s gentler on the eyes than the EE default. Easy to customize as well to match your site’s colours if you’re so inclined!
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> - Javascript Pagination with Matrix / MX Calc and jQuery

I ran into a situation where I couldn’t use generic slider-scripts due to their fixed width/height nature and absolute positioning, so I had to concoct my own. You’ll need Matrix (obviously) and MX Calc.
The template-tags:
{contentblocks}
<div class="block{if row_count == '1'} active{/if}" id - disappearing entries that suddenly reappear! DST!

OK, this drove me mad over the last two days.
Ever had entries which you update on your site disappear after your update them? (and reappear later)

The culprit was Daylight Saving Time setting on EE.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:
EllisLab has added an official {last_segment} tag as of EE 2.1.1. See info here: http://expressionengine.com/blog/entry/2.1.1_release_what_will_be_there_what_will_not/—-
Sometimes it is quite handy to pull in the last segment of a URI. EE makes it easy to grab the first segment

I don’t think I’ve seen this one before, but the EE Wiki contains a full list of
config.phpoverrides, which are easily found by doing the following in a EE 1.6.x template with PHP enabled:<?php

?>The list in the wiki is only for 1.6.7, so some may have

Well this one is different to the Freeform upload issue I added a week or so ago.
When a user uploads content EE attempts to filter that content against XSS - (Cross Site Scripting, a technique the bad guys use to compromise your site)
A logged in Super Admin automatically is trusted by EE and
- Add a dynamic page_uri global variable
-
Posted on April 14, 2010 by Erik Reagan
For some strange and odd reason, there is no full page_uri global variable built in to EE (that I’ve found at least). You can access each segment with segment variables but there’s not a way to get everything after your domain. We can easily add one by opening our path.php file and adding a global
