Mostly every page starts with:
Code:
defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );
JPlugin::loadLanguage( 'tpl_SG1' );
?>


the above code prevents direct accesing through saved links ...the user page will not be displayed directly by links to load plugins into the template JPlugin class is used . LoadLanguage is a method in the Jplugin class .which is used to load the language packs.

Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="templates/system/css/system.css" type="text/css" />

Code:
include type="head" />

:Used to include module of specific type... for above example it is head type .which is include in head tag

Code:

Randomly Displaying a Single SharePoint Item on Refresh

This is how: 1. Create a new Data View web part in SharePoint Designer that displays all records in the format you want. We will end up only showing one record, so keep that in mind when you are laying this out. 2. Open the Filter dialog 3. Do not add any clauses, instead check the Add XSLT Filtering box and click Edit 4. Create your XSLT filter. You can just paste in the following code: [position() = (substring(ddwrt:FormatDateTime(ddwrt:TodayIso(),1033,":mm:ss"),6,2) mod count(/dsQueryResponse/Rows/Row))+1] 5. Click Ok and save the page in SharePoint Designer 6. Check your work in your browser. Refresh the page to see the item rotate.
