Joomla | Updates 1.5.3 -> 1.5.4 -> 1.5.5!

Matt — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 20:00:00 +0100

I am embarrassed to say we are mentioning these Joomla updates so late. We have been really busy around here at JoomlaJunkie with all sorts of things on the frontend like templates and modules, as well as top secret backend stuff.

Nevertheless, Joomla has updated to Joomla 1.5.4 and then soon after 1.5.5. These releases covered imp [...]

Template release: Snappa

Matt — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 20:00:00 +0100

It's the summertime, let's get a little dirty with Snappa.

Everybody makes shiny templates, so this month we decided to get our hands really dirty and go the other direction and get a little grunge. Don't let the dirt fool you, we restructured our code for Snappa and it is our cleanest and fastest yet.

A quick update on Aurora and Tatami

stoker — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 20:00:00 +0100

Since we first launched Aurora two weeks ago, we have had many emails and posts on the forums asking why there was not a native Joomla 1.5 version. The reason for this is really simple. Due to the extensive customization options, we decided to team up with the clever guys from Ninjoomla and base the template around their template configuration component, called Tatami. From day one this has been a match made in heaven and we are thrilled to be involved with the project.

That being sai [...]

Joomla.org is converting over to 1.5, are you?

Matt — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 20:00:00 +0100

Joomla.org is a huge site with thousands of users and multiple Joomla installs. It appears to be one install, but upon closer inspection of the code you will see that different sections are sometimes more then they appear. The main page which we all know and love is a current build of Joomla, but you might notice the forum is not really Joomla at all. It is HTML added to the header and footer of phpBB. Joomla shop? Yup, it's 1.5. Joomla developers, yessir, 1.5. The documentation? M [...]

Major updates coming to JoomlaJunkie - input needed!

stoker — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 20:00:00 +0100

We’ve been planning for the future. Take a look at our vision! And let us know what you want…

Over the past couple of weeks, all of us at JoomlaJunkie have been doing a lot of thinking about where we are now and where we want the business to be in 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 5 years from now, etc. We have already seen a major difference in the site by giving it all of our focus and this is something we would like to expand on. We are working furiously to tighten the screws wherev [...]

Flock. Get ready to meet your new favorite browser!

Matt — Tue, 20 May 2008 20:00:00 +0100

http://flock.com/

Want a browser that is stable, functional, and incredibly useful? I think we all do. I have been using Camino for some time due to how fast it is but I have been using Firefox more and more due to me needing to do a lot more debugging and diagnosing of Web sites. The most recent versions have let me down a bit due to the betas being much crashier then I am accustomed to by Firefox.

Of course this isn't a post bashing Firefo [...]

Brand spanking new Affiliate Program launching next week!

stoker — Thu, 15 May 2008 20:00:00 +0100

One of our most requested features on JoomlaJunkie.com is some sort of Affiliate Program. Many of you die hard JoomlaJunkie fans will remember that when 2Checkout announced a built in Affiliate Program, but after testing it out we realized that it wasn't really suited to our business model. We've tried a [...]

Releasing a Joomla template is harder then you might imagine

Matt — Thu, 15 May 2008 20:00:00 +0100

I have been on the front end of Joomla for years. Creating Web sites for clients, myself, friends, anybody who would pay, and even a few who wouldn't. I have always had a general idea of what it took for a template company to produce a template, but no real proof to validate my assumptions. JoomlaJunkie recently hired me on staff and gave me all the proof I needed to discover it is way more complicated then I ever dreamed.

Joomla templates are pretty straight forward. You come u [...]

If you're a DOOSy don't show your friends!

munaiba — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 20:00:00 +0100

OK, we all love JoomlaJunkie templates because they're cool and inexpensive and easy-to-use. Which means we're probably going to "DOOS" - Do Our Own Sites. That's fine and many small businesses can't afford to do otherwise but a word of caution - don't show your friends.

Why not? Because their opinion means nothing. Most times, friends and family do not match part of your target audience. How they react to it is meaningless. Show your customers; in fact if [...]

stoker — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 19:00:00 +0100

As the craziness of the holiday season is starting to settle and we are now back in full force, we thought it would be a good time to go over the new site and explain how everything is structured.

If so, please post your ideas / feedback on the following forum thread. Please note you will need to be l [...]
