Top 10 Joomla extensions
Wherever I am I always seem to be asked for my top 10 joomla extensions.
So instead of keep repeating myself I'm writing them here and I can just point people at the blog and talk about something more interesting instead when I meet you.
This is MY list and I'm sure people will have other some other ideas so please add them in the comments.
Add a commentIs this GPL?
Whilst checking a site today I came across some code that triggered my scanner alert scripts.
I was unable to read the code as it was obfuscated/encrypted/encoded - select whichever you think is appropriate.
Add a commentFlaws in Joomla management - or - Why we need 2+ years for a release
In the last weeks, I've taken a step back from my involvement into the Joomla project and took a good look at what we achieved. And let me say: Joomla has quite a lot of great and talented developers and basically all the work that has been done by them was good and deserves to be noted.
But I also saw, that we have huge problems. I'm not telling a secret when I'm saying that our releases are not really at a fast pace and we also didn't keep all our promises all the time...
But what is the cause of this?
Add a commentJomSocial - You cannot be serious - chmod 777!!!
Spend any time on the joomla forums and you will see "help my web site has been hacked".
The first response is always the same "please read the security checklist
"
In numerous places you will see
"Use proper permissions on files and directories. They should be should never be 777"
But with JomSocial the reverse is true!
Add a commentThe Joomla World Cup - Spain - World Cup Winners
Congratulations to Spain, winners of the FIFA World Cup for the first time in the competition's history.
After a game that at times more resembled unarmed combat than "the beautiful game" Spain were the eventual winners.
Although Dutch Striker Arjen Robben will have induced a few heart attacks towards the end.
Add a commentThe Joomla World Cup - New Zealand - National Film Archive
New Zealand were the only team in the 2010 FIFA World Cup not to lose a game.
They didn't win a game either so unfortunately left the competition after the group stages.
Add a commentThe Joomla World Cup - Brazil - Sao Paulo for tourists
I had been saving several Brazilian sites for the later stages of the World Cup but somehow they managed to get knocked out much earlier than I expected.
Whoever said that this World Cup was going to be predictable?
As there was no game today I'm taking the opportunity to post one of those Brazilian web sites.
Add a commentThe Joomla World Cup - Spain - Promoting Open Source Software
Spain were one of the "red hot" favourites before the start of the World Cup but somehow after they managed to lose their first game we all forgot that.
It has been slightly harder to find high profile joomla web sites in Spain than in some other countries
I suspect that this is more down to my poor language skills than any lack of adoption.
Add a commentThe Joomla World Cup - Netherlands - Materials Innovation Institute
Thanks to Sander for supplying me with a very long list of impressive high profile web sites from the Netherlands. I never thought I would need such a big list.
The Joomla World Cup - Greece - Ministry of Education
We all know that two of the greatest Joomla extension developers are in Greece.
There can hardly be a Joomla web site developer that has not heard of Akeeba Backup
or K2
from JoomlaWorks
.
But let's not forget that one half of the Community Builder
team are also in Athens.
Maybe there is something in the water of the "Home of Democracy" that makes such great Joomla developers or perhaps it's the quality of the education.
