Our Blog

We're very excited about the recent release of another fantastic free extension.

You might have come across Joomailer previously, our Joomla extension that allows seamless newsletter management and re-purposing of articles via Campaign Monitor.

Taking the existing functionality of Joomailer we partnered with Kelsey from thinksync, located in Australia, and created a whole new Joomailer

Now you have choice. Original Joomailer or our free Joomailer integration with the award-winning email marketing platform Mailchimp

Head over to our comparison page to see the differences.
You may also appreciate reading about the interface improvements made by Kelsey, in this article on his blog.

Today we are showcasing the launch of the new corePHP site , some of our good friends from across the pond (in this case the atlantic). We are quite excited to show you their new site, and some of their better known extensions. They have never hesitated to help us out, so we are trying to return the favor. Over the past year we have come to know each other quite well despite the distance and despite never having met in person. This we hope will change at one of the next Joomla! conventions that we will attend. But now I would like to give you a small introduction to their new site and offerings.

Let's get straight to business. Lately we have been pushing the development of the Content Uploader Pro adding some great functions like K2 items, contacts and web links importing but have admittedly slightly neglected our free version. No more. We present to you our favorite Joomla! extension from our lineup, with a new interface and new features. Video and screenshot below.

Another fast major update to one of our most popular Joomla! extensions, the Content Uploader Pro. The ability to upload contacts. In the traditional way you would have to open and save a form for each person you would like to add to your contacts section on your Joomla! website. Undoubtedly you shouldn't start a project without this tool.

The Joomla Team announces the immediate availability of Joomla 1.5.18. This version inludes a security fix as well as a roll-back for the plugin auto disable feature, which was introduced in version 1.5.16 but did not satisfy the community at all.

And it is tuesday again. Here comes a collection of brilliant sites with uncountable patterns and textures and some with communities behind them. A couple of them offer cool background generators, so let your imagination run wild. Enjoy these bookmarkable resources all in one place and feel free to share yours in the comments section below. Next time around we will post some really nice vector packs. Have a good week.

There has recently been an uprising of enthusiastic Joomla! developers and users, such as Nicholas Dionysopoulos and parts of the ATAAW community, who aparently want to help the core developers and speed up the process to bring Joomla! 1.6 forward. The article received a provocative title, to hopefully raise some awareness about Joomla! and how you can help.

The continuation of our series includes some stunning photoshop brushes with which you will be able to add those individual touches to the collections of textures we will have for you next time. All together over 3000 paintshop brushes assembled in 6 collections for your template and newsletter designing pleasure. It might take you some time to sift through all of those, but it will be well worth it.

Joomla is a great content management system and once you get to know about the structure of components, modules and plugins you can begin to create your own custom extensions.  However, online documentation is pretty sparse when it comes to this part - the most in-depth documentation usually only consists of how to create a 'Hello World' extension.

As a newcomer to the world of Joomla I found this lack of tutorials quite frustrating so I've decided to write my own.  The following instructions explain how to create a module from scratch that includes parameters, a third party library and a Google map chart.  Once finished we will have a module that displays visitor information on a map of the world using data grabbed from Google Analytics.  Hopefully this will shed some light on the topic for some of you.

Jtop10 is one of our free extensions that displays the 10 most viewed articles for several categories.  We've just updated it so that you can now choose to display the hits per article and also display these hits in awesome CSS bar charts!

...except Internet Explorer. :-p In a three hour long session, you can learn the necessary skills to create a professional Joomla! template. This unique opportunity is offered by Daniel from Compojoom in a one time 20 seat Webinar via DimDim .

We have just released a new version of J2top!
This update addresses a bug that appeared in combination with sh404SEF. When both extensions were activated on a site it happened that the page didn't scroll up properly but refreshed instead.

We have just released a new version of the Excel Uploader for Joomla!.  The new update includes the following changes:
- component is now in MVC form.
- the configuration screen has now been changed

Dragon Share is our newest addition to our Roster. Drag to Share as seen on Mashable, now for your Joomla! site. This is the first version for you to play around with, works well on most basic sites. Stay tuned for updates and more free social icons to choose from.

In this release we tackle a few milestones, like template support and draft creation. Simple template conversion from Campaign Monitor is possible. With the introduction of Joomailer templates, it will become even more fun creating newsletters from your site's contents. Read on for all the updates:

If you are developing web applications and need to use javascript libraries from time to time you probably allready have read about the Google AJAX libraries API, which enables you to include nearly any javascript library with only two lines of code. You don't have to include the libraries into your package anymore.
As this is such a usefull solution we decided to write a short instruction how to use the Google AJAX libraries API for those who might have missed that opportunity.

In case you lag a good internetconnection at times, and you still need to touch up that blog article or add the newest photos from the last event into your gallery, then Joomla Remote is probably a good solution for you.  This small piece of software allows you to manage your site offline and then sync.

Here you will find some ways to add icing to your site. We didn't have much of a download section on the old site, but this has changed with our new site. Since we use the Joomla content management system for most of our projects we decided to use joomla as our main web application platform.
