Joomla Training Across the United States PDF Print E-mail
Written by Alledia Blog   
Monday, 01 September 2008
(http://joomlatraining.com)Almost a year ago now we launched the Joomla SEO Club. It was a completely new concept at the time and for the last 11 months, I've been focused on making it successful. Now that it is, it's time to try and push the envelope once more. Over the next few weeks, we plan to unveil three significant new projects here at Alledia. Today is the first of those. From September to December, we'll be running Twelve Weeks of Training , an ambitious program to provide Joomla! training across the Eastern and Mid-Western United States. We've already run classes in Chicago and Atlanta. Now it's time for nine more cities ...
 
Happy Third Birthday Joomla! PDF Print E-mail

Monday, 01 September 2008
Happy Birthday Joomla! September 1st is the project's 3rd birthday. You can read the original announcement here (http://www.joomla.org/announcements/general-news/35-new-arrival.html). Joomla.org was launched only 10 days after the domain name was registered (http://whois.domaintools.com/joomla.org). How far has the project come? We're now reaching the point where a several percent of all the sites on the web are built with Open Source Content Management Systems. At the beginning of 2004, our industry barely existed:
 
Custom content types - thanks Google Summer of Code! PDF Print E-mail
Written by the whyjoomla? blog   
Friday, 29 August 2008
I've been a huge fan of Drupal's Content Creation Kit (http://drupal.org/project/cck) for a long time - its a module that extends the core content functionality of Drupal, allowing you to create different types of 'content' - made up of a variety of fields such as embedded media (photo/video/etc...), email links, html/web links and so on. CCK's architecture is scalable and allows for 3rd party developers to add new fields to it as additional modules; so the usefullness of CCK grows exponentially in time. Actually, for a time I saw this amazing module really setting joomla and drupal apart - as, Joomla felt really limited in its potential to grow beyond a CMS and become let's say, an 'application framework.' However, I'm excited to report today that this is all about to change...

Serious IDevAffiliate Security Hole PDF Print E-mail
Written by Alledia Blog   
Tuesday, 26 August 2008
This is an worrying security update that affects the Joomla world. Up until now iDevAffiliate - the system used by almost every Joomla affiliate program - has stored passwords and Social Security numbers UNENCRYPTED in the database. That means if you join an iDevAffiliate program the owner can go along and view your password whether its 12345 , password or something more personal. From there they can go back to your site, see other iDev programs that you're using and try to login to those, pretending to be you. If you're dumb enough to use the same login for your email also ...
 
Automatic Updates for Joomla PDF Print E-mail
Written by Alledia Blog   
Tuesday, 26 August 2008
If you subscribe to the Joomla Extensions Directory RSS feed (http://feedproxy.google.com/JoomlaExtensions), you can see the future of Joomla pass before your eyes. Sure, there are a lot of me-too listings but at least once a week there's something new and exciting. The latest extension to catch my eye is an automatic installer and updater (http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,5635/Itemid,35/). Its key selling point? It allows you to install just one extension and use that install and updates dozens of others. No more registering, downloading, uploading and looking out for updates.
