JoomlaCode November Maintenance

However as a part of this we're going to have some scheduled downtime for parts of JoomlaCode as we reconfigure the system into a new environment. I'm intending this post to be a sort of rolling update page as I work through all of the items and get the different bits and pieces finalised with Rochen. As these are pretty significant changes, I'm hoping to keep the amount of disruption to a minimum. This is one of the first times I've…

While we haven't been very good about keeping our milestones, there are a few very good reasons for that.The first and biggest reason is we've been trying to shoot at a moving target.

Feature patches for 1.6

On January 25th we reported back from the development coordinator summit. A lot of people noticed that we created three new development-related, publicly-accessible mailing lists for the Joomla development community. The most important reason for us to open up in this way is to attract more developers and enable them to help out with core development. As it is very tempting to start providing us with all kinds of patches, we wanted to explain what it takes to submit a feature patch. Before you fire any questions at us, please make sure you read the full article and also the link to the…

While code quality is not an exact science we do require that code contributions to Joomla should be understandable, robust and complete. Patches should be understandable. Your patch should be understandable. If we can't work out what it does then it makes it very difficult to evaluate, and even more difficult to maintain in the future. The code must follow our coding style guidelines. The code must use the Joomla Framework API. Do not submit patches…

Happy New Year: 2009 is going to be a big one (point six)

1 Jan 2009 | 5:07 pm

2008 was certainly a big year with the release of 1.5 in January. I think this has been one of our most successful and ground breaking releases (comparable to Mambo 4.5.1 which really pushed us to a new level back in the good old days). A new stability release will come out this month marking 1.5's first year of life. But what's in store for 2009? Well, just as 1.5 up'd the standard compared to 1.0, we believe 1.6 is going to do continue the trend.

JoomlaCode November Maintenance

12 Nov 2009 | 4:32 am

We're all done! Enjoy! (Updated below with open issues) Due to some awesome shifts with JoomlaCode to get newer, more powerful servers (thanks again to Rochen).

I'm intending this post to be a sort of rolling update page as I work through all of the items and get the different bits and pieces finalised with Rochen. As these are pretty significant changes, I'm hoping to keep the amount of disruption to a minimum. This is one of the first times I've…

Pleasure, profit or pain - Giving your user what they want.

9 Oct 2009 | 2:05 pm

It is often asked if a site should be made for the user or the designers benefit. What if you spend hours/weeks/months on your site only for people to get lost! Several sites I have worked with are doing very well with the minimum of features and fuss. Does your site really need the latest content video flashes, scrolling facebook and bouncing twitter birds? Most of the support questions I deal with are to do with paid extensions. If you have a paid for extension, the most obvious choice would be to go to the supplier first, they have your money. Unless of course you have obtained the…

Trials of community web support!

30 Jul 2009 | 9:13 am

I work for a community based network of roving IT people, engineers and IT Helper. One of those roles is to attend workshops for technically challenged people and community/charity start ups. This week i attended a community web workshop. the basics of it was; "A surgery to help people who run a community website; but need some help to maintain or improve it along with expert volunteers to come and help out.

Building Websites with Joomla! 1.5.x

17 Mar 2009 | 2:17 pm

Introduction When I decided to publish my Engineering wisdom on the internet, and later to set up a website for my Personal Development business, I knew that I would need a Content Management System (CMS) to do the job properly. Although I was an experienced Embedded Systems Engineer in a past life, I hadn't ever done any serious web publishing before so I had no idea where to start and expected there would be quite a learning curve. I ended up using Joomla!, which has done the job quite nicely. This article describes what I learned along the way, including some tips to save you time setting…

JoomlaCode November Maintenance

12 Nov 2009 | 4:32 am

We're all done! Enjoy! (Updated below with open issues) Due to some awesome shifts with JoomlaCode to get newer, more powerful servers (thanks again to Rochen). However as a part of this we're going to have some scheduled downtime for parts of JoomlaCode as we reconfigure the system into a new environment. I'm intending this post to be a sort of rolling update page as I work through all of the items and get the different bits and pieces finalised with Rochen. As these are pretty significant changes, I'm hoping to keep the amount of disruption to a minimum. This is one of the first times I've…

Review of WordPress for Joomla by corePHP.com

Because it requires quite a bit of effort, Joomla developers have long looked enviously at Wordpress and the default blogging features it has....

Earlier, the project indicated that 1.6 would be a stepping stone on the way to 2.0, and 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, were to be short 3-month projects rapidly executed to address smaller problems.

I will ask Aaron for more information on that, JM. One thing that Mark pointed out was that there is no reason that an Unofficial Joomla! 1.5 Distribution can't also be used to address the MT 1.2 issue. That's something worth considering and we are discussing a very focused distribution that would offer the choice and help developers upgrade

HTML document title is not UTF compatible, double quotes from meta 'generator' and 'description' tags aren't removed

That and we've just had a baby girl, so I hope the apology gets accepted. This one from Shape 5 is nice and rather than focusing on a new extension or something you can add to Joomla to make it smarter than Joomla already is, it concentrates on Joomla and just a couple of extensions, that you'll get with the theme from Shape 5.
