Episode 12 - December 2nd, 2008

Tuesday, 02 December 2008 21:45

Mike's back from a little hiatus, doing some catchup with Joomla and focusing on:

• Joomla wins second place in the Packt Publishing "Overall Open Source CMS Award" and "Best Content Management System based on PHP/mySQL"
• Anyone going to CMSexpo? It's on Thursday and Friday.
• Read Jfoobar. Good blog about Joomla with posts about the upcoming ACL and Installer features in 1.6.
• Uploading & Flash 10 causing problems.

4 extensions to discuss:

• Jomsocial-New Joomla social networking king?
• jPress-Looks to be an exciting new set of blogging extensions for Joomla.
• J!Position-Great way to see modules on a page.
• Joomla Magic Updater-A great new way to update Joomla.

Rant of the week: why are there only two levels to organize content in Joomla?

Welcome back! Thanks for another great show, especially the Jfoobar suggestion. Perhaps on a future episode you could talk about how to create templates from scratch.

Hi Carson--thanks for the kind words. I should have ep. 13 out by the end of the year.

To be honest, template design is one of my weak spots, as I think it is for many, which is why so many of us need help. Still, it's a great idea for a topic and one I'll have to tackle at some point.

Hi Mike,
The show is always informative and worth listening to - also about the right length. Keep them coming.
Interesting stuff about 1.6 and jom social which I might use on a church community site I am building.

Cheers

Pete...
