Some time ago, I posted my answer to the eternal question, Should I use Joomla 1.0 or 1.5? Now there is another factor to consider, Wilco Jansen recently posted on the Developer Team Blog the actual date when Joomla Joomla 1.0 would stop being supported with updates, July 22nd 2009.

"As of July 22, 2009, the Joomla 1.0.x series will no longer be supported."

A couple of weeks ago the Community Builder Team released the next version of Community Builder, one that runs natively on Joomla Joomla 1.5.

Community Builder is one of the most popular extensions for Joomla Joomla. Its been a hot item on the Joomla Extensions site since I can remember, and is one of the top editor's picks. In a nutshell, it transforms Joomla into a social networking powerhouse. It provides features and tools centered around the the Joomla site user, like blogs, profiles and galleries.

There are lots of times you might want to work in raw HTML in a Joomla Joomla article or module. For example, embedding Google maps, or maybe using a widget in a module like Feedburner.

Unfortunately, sometimes the editor screen you are using will strip out the HTML code, or cause an error. Rather than having to turn the editor on/off in global configuration, there is an easier way. 

Right now I am sitting on an airport heading the the Chicago Joomla Joomla EXPO, and I just *know* someone is going to ask me this question!

Pondering over my foo foo Latte from Starbucks, I think I might have actually found the answer. I did a little digging in the official Joomla forums and found some interesting stuff.

OK, so its not quite ACL as most people think of it, but a feature that was in 1.0 has found its way back into the 1.5 series. A handy little trick using authors.

We are proud to announce the beta release of our newest application to the Joomlashack product family.
