Just another one of those “Oh I’m so busy” blog posts.

January 31st, 2009

Hey guys, it’s been a long, long while since I’ve posted on this blog – I am simply too busy to do anything other than work on/for the business. So while I’ve got a few minutes to myself, I thought I’d do a quick update.

Joomla
As I scroll through my previous posts, I noticed that I’ve actually got a post for J1.5.7 security release. They’re now up to 1.5.9 so if you have not updated your sites, please do so. Check the security release update announcement for more details. I am looking forward to J1.6 – one big feature which would make developers lives easier is the implementation of the long awaited, highly anticipated ACL improvements.

For more information on progression regarding ACL improvments, a quick google search will lead you to numerous sources, so check it out if it “piques” your interest.

Linkr – a beautiful extension for Joomla 1.5

September 9th, 2008

If you are a Joomla user or developer, then you would have come accross the requirement of linking to articles and/or menu items from the WYSIWYG editor.

The current way is tedious. You’d either have to try and guess the URL and have some sort of workaround so that you can remember how to format links. This requirement has always stumped us in the past, but after some R&D prior to coding up my own solution, I found out about the Linkr extension for Joomla 1.5!
