It's probably the easiest way to add comments to a website, but the comments are hosted on the Disqcus site, making it lousy for SEO and the free version puts ads in the comments and looks ugly. If you want to give visitors the opportunity to post comments on stories, like the New York Times, you need a comments extension. My favorite comment extensions are: Komento - works in J 2.5 and 3.1. It's free, but there is a link back to the Stack Ideas website, still not bad. http://extensions.joomla.org/search?q=komento JComments - works great in J 2.5. Eagerly awaiting the version for 3.1. Free. On my short list of best Joomla extensions. http://bit.ly/NGJ4un RSComments - works in 2.5 and 3.1. From the wonderful folks at RS Joomla, makers of RS Forms. Paid, but cheap - 19 euros (about $25+). Blogs are for folks who like to write and want others to comment on what they have written. In the case of Joomla, all blogging extensions include a comment system and most add modules for categories, recent articles, tags, etc. There a many good blog extensions available for Joomla - K2 is free and very popular, RS Blog, Easy Blog, etc. The problem that I find with using these blogs is they add an extra articles layer. I would rather stick with the native Joomla 3.1 framework - which already comes with modules for latest articles, categories, most read articles, tags, etc. and add a good third-part extension like Komento or RS Comments. Although I know a lot of folks who love using Easy Blog and K2 for blogging. Try both methods and use the one you like best. Hope this helps.

Most of the fonts that you find on sites like Google Web Fonts, only support the English language. To test, try using Times New Roman - which comes with a complete set of language fonts - as the basic body font in your template.

Learning Joomla! 3 Extension Development:? https://www.packtpub.com/learning-joomla-3-extension-development/video This 32-video course is currently on sale for the unbelievable price of $16!? I say this price is unbelievable due to the extremely valuable information contained in this course that is difficult to find elsewhere.? This course will teach you how to build your own custom Joomla! 3 component, plugin, module and template. The lessons are presented in a very logical way, along with working files for each video.? If you have a working knowledge of PHP, MySQL and the Joomla! 3 Admin, then you can easily learn extension development from this video course. Many thanks to our NYCJUG members who assisted with the production of this video course!? A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into the production of these 32 videos: Gary Mort helped with research of the new Joomla API; Marian Konop and Stephen Britton reviewed the course before publication; and Mark Simko was instrumental in arranging for me to author the project. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: You might be familiar with using the "Prepare Content" option in Joomla to allow an embedded plug-in to function in Custom HTML such as "{foobaz ...}. But there are some third-party modules that don't have the "Prepare Content" option. "I know!" said in a Craig Ferguson voice. :-) So I'm thinking of adding this option to those Modules lacking "Prepare Content" unless someone can offer other solutions or simply talk me out of doing this. I'm thinking the code found in mod_custom.php would accomplish this? *if ($params->def('prepare_content', 1))* *{* * JPluginHelper::importPlugin('content');* * $module->content = JHtml::_('content.prepare', $module->content, '', 'mod_custom.content');* *}* What do you think of doing this to solve this problem? From my understanding of this, it needs to be done at the Module level so it treats the content as if it were a Joomla Article. Thanks in advance!

She gives step by step instructions to develop a complete component and she uses a real world example. Extension development is complicated and Donna walks you through it in a very logical fashion. I haven't seen information this complete anywhere else. I would recommend it highly if you are interested in developing your own Joomla extensions, and I think if you put in the time to understand these videos you will come out with a good "cookbook" (pun intended) for understanding the structure of Joomla components even if you don't want to develop one yourself. As Donna points out, a working knowledge of PHP, MySQL and the Joomla! 3 Admin is helpful. > Today's Topics: > 1.
