Compass Designs

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.

The Joomlashack Template Builder

Joomlashack is proud to release Jamba is our latest free template for Joomla!

You can use it for Joomla! 1.0 or Joomla! 1.5. Feel free to give it a whirl.

You may have visited one of the other popular blogs about Joomla at alledia.com. It's written by a fellow Brit living in the US, Steve Burge (he is going to be a fellow instructor at the upcoming Joomla University in Chicago). He recently wrote a post phpBB3 Integration Can Be The Joomla 1.5 Killer App. As we often seem to do, he scooped me on a post I had started to write about the exact same topic, thinking about what Joomla 1.5's Killer "must have" application might be.

I think I might offer some different answers than his thoughts about forums though.

There are some big name sites out there using Joomla. Often its difficult to spot that Joomla is "under the hood". Most big sites have professional design and customization which makes the site very different from what is acheivable with smaller budgets.

One recent site a came across recently using Joomla is Dennis Kucinich for President.

With the third release candidate available for Joomla, Joomlashack has unveiled our first template that runs on Joomla 1.5 natively: Weblogic.

You get both 1.0.X AND 1.5 Joomla versions bundled TOGETHER for only $39.95!

If you are familiar with Joomla, you will know that the CMS uses the phrase "read more" when it links to a full article from the intro text.

This read more link is found on millions of Joomla powered websites, but is it the best choice of words?
