Joomla............

By -
Joomla! came into being as the result of the fork of Mambo by the development team on August 17, 2005. At that time, the Mambo name was trademarked by Miro International Pvt Ltd, who formed a non-profit foundation with the stated purpose to fund the project and protect it from lawsuits. The development team claimed that many of the provisions of the foundation structure went against previous agreements made by the elected Mambo Steering Committee, lacked the necessary consultation with key stake holders and included provisions that violated core open source values.

Features

The Joomla! package consists of many different parts, which allow modular extensions and integrations to be made easily. An example of such are extensions called "Plugins". (Previously known as "Mambots".) Plugins are background extensions that extend Joomla! with new functionality. The WikiBot, for example, allows the author of Joomla! content to use "Wikitags" in Joomla! articles which will auto-create dynamic hyperlinks to Wikipedia articles when displayed. There are over 3,500 extensions for Joomla! available via the Extensions Directory.


In addition to Plugins, more comprehensive extensions are available. "Components" allow webmasters to perform such tasks as build a community by expanding user features, backup a website, translate content and create URLs that are more friendly to search engines. "Modules" perform such tasks as displaying a calendar or allowing custom code like Google AdSense etc., to be inserted within the base Joomla! code.


Since it has been around longer, there are more extensions available for Joomla! 1.0 than for Joomla! 1.5, although native 1.5 extensions are becoming increasingly available. Some of the older 1.0 extensions can be used with version 1.5 if it is set to legacy mode.
Joomla! permits administrators to set global configuration parameters that affect every article[16]. Every page conforms to these parameters by default, but a page can have its own setting for each parameter. For example, you can elect to show or hide the article author or simply go with the global "show author" parameter.

Google Chrome issue with flash wmode: “transparent”

By -

Ok I have seen lots of guys having issues with new Google Chrome does not properly render flash movies with transparent backgrounds. I had the same problem and I search every corner of the Internet but left out of luck. So I thought of finding the solution on my own and "Eureka". First I must say that this has nothing to do with the "wmode" parameter. Also this has nothing to do with the way you guys embed the movie into HTML, so don't waste your time trying to change those things. The issue lies with the image rasterization  switching on the Bitmap caching under Display properties will eliminate the issue in Chrome. Bitmap caching The bitmap caching feature is one of the older rasterization features in Flash. Use bitmap caching to allow Flash Player to cache a symbol as a bitmap in RAM memory at runtime. The bitmap caching feature is easy to use. Convert an image to a symbol, make sure it's selected, and then choose the Cache as Bitmap Render ...

Why responsive email development is a pain in the butt

Yes, If you ever got into HTML code an email design with responsive support you already know what I am about to say. Developing a responsive email is really can be a pain in the butt right? But why do we have to feel that pain, because about 48% emails are opened on mobile devices, so it's not a choice you can make but you just have to get used to that. Ever thought why it's hard to develop an email to be compatible with mobile devices? Let me explain, the simple reason for the emails to work differently on mobiles and desktops is because we have whole lot of email clients to deal with and all these email clients doesn't work in a unique way. Back in the day, when you say you got mail, there is no doubt that you got mail to your Office Outlook; admit it, we loved it back then right? we used to have voice overs to say "You got mail" every time you got an email, at least you loved it because there wasn't another email client for us to use on a windows PC. ...

How many emails you get into your inbox everyday? How many of them you read everyday? Are those emails really relevant to you? These are some interesting questions you should ask yourself before doing an email campaign. Yes! even you plan the campaign, you must get into the other's shoes to see or think like others. How many emails you skip each day because they are not relevant to you? And have you ever thought of how many emails you get into your junk folder each day? I want you to answer these questions before further reading this. Being an email marketing service provider is easy these days, you just need a good email list with about 500,000 emails in it and you just have to create multiple email marketing accounts in MailChimp or any other email marketing software provider, it's that easy. I recently got a call to my office line from a guy asking me if I am interested in buying an email list. Just because I am curious, I asked how many contacts in it and how much do...
