Extension Blog

Keeping up with all the new extensions for the Joomla content management system is a full time job. This is a task that I work on daily and usually spend at least 2 hours a day studying and testing components. Having installed hundreds of Joomla component's, Module's, Plugin's and Mambot's. I have learned how to deal with many issues that arise during a normal installation of a particlular extension or plugin.

With over 3500 extensions now available for Joomla, it is very time consumming keeping up with the latest components and updates. My experience and knowledge of dozens of extensions may save you time and money getting your project started. Tiny little issues during installation can cause you many hours of looking for a solution. There are solutions that in some cases can not be found if you do not purchase the component's documentation. Baratta Design does spend money on documentation and in many cases the payment is simply to help out the programmer or code writer.

During an average day of our lives there are Ads everywhere, some are good products and some are less than what they claim. It is no different with Joomla extensions. Most are amazing and a few are not worth the headache they may cause. Beta doesn't always mean it will break and Stable doesn't always mean it will work. Paying for an extension does not mean it will be better than an opensource product.

This is just the general nature of software. Extensions will no doubt need upgrading or fixing at some point in time. If you are more interested in building your Internet business, club or personal website, you should use the 'Contact' form here at Baratta Design and we can discuss your project.

You are NOT committing to any contract or service agreement by using the Contact form.

A reasonable amount of time is included in discussing your project. If it becomes clear that you are not sure what your needs are or how to accomplish them, consulting fee's will likely be needed. You would always be quoted the cost first and then decide if you want to continue.

I (Daryl Baratta) provide a very one on one type of personal service with easy access to communicate with me. I only speak English and clients can talk to me on the phone. I do not claim to know it " All " , there are new extensions and high tech templates coming out daily.

Flash Mp3 Player New module from webmaster-tips.net to play mp3 files on your web site. Using flash the mp3 player is an advanced module. You see this module in use here on several pages. It was simple to install and adding mp3 files is fairly easy using the Joomla component 'JoomlaXplorer'. Seems to be easy on resources and plays the music rather quickly. Not the stop and go music players of the past. It has never had to reload or stop in the middle of a song, since I have been listening to the few songs I entered. The songs are between 4 and 7 megs to upload. Perhaps having a cable connection helps but, by using flash I bet it works well on a dial up connection too. Tag it:

JCE Editor Problem

Joomla Extensions
Written by Daryl Baratta
Tuesday, 15 August 2006
It was not JCE - Advanced Editor causing the Problem I was having a lot of problems with JCE an advanced editor for Joomla. I actually thought JCE had broken TinyMCE but, that was not the case at all. Both worked fine with my last hosting company, so I was starting to think I was missing some type of PHP software. But, when Joomla installed it stated in had all it needed to work. I was getting the following at the top of a blank pop-up in TinyMCE, {$lang_insert_link_title} {$lang_insert_image_title}. It even got stranger when I tried to make a simple link it would open my site login page! This was happening to all the installations of Joomla that I had done over the last few days, about 6 installs. The solution to my problem not only fixed the Joomla built-in editor, it also fixed JCE. Now, I don't know a great deal about the built in editor but I do think JCE depends on it working right. JCE is the best advanced editor for Joomla, in my opinion, whether commercial or opensource. The new 1.1 beta 2 version out as of Dec.2006 looks good and appears to work well. Trying to use Joomla without an advanced editor like JCE makes life very difficult. Ryan has put a huge amount of work into this high quality opensource advanced editor for Joomla. Personally, I subscribed at Ryan's website, which is about $ 20.00 a year. This helps Ryan out a little with his costs involved in supplying us with this excellent feature rich advanced editor at no charge. By subscribing you also received 3 advanced plugins for the JCE editor. Media Manager SE, Advanced Links SE and a trick Caption plugin. Well worth the few dollars Ryan hopes to bring in to help cover bandwidth charges from traffic to his JCE site. The solution is a rather simple one. Open your Joomla configuration file (PHP) and find your domain name. Look about halfway down the page and add the WWW (lowercase as a rule) to your domain name. This may fix your problems with JCE or Tiny MCE. In my case, no editor would work until I made this change. Install and use JoomXplorer component, which is an excellent tool for managing your files. It may also be the ONLY way you can edit or change file permissions. It should be noted that this issue has never happened again during any installations of Joomla or JCE. This happened a few months ago before a couple of upgrades of both products. JCE is an excellent advanced editor and Ryan looks after people who are using his opensource software. June 2008 Updated This article is very outdated and I hope you are not using the older version of JCE listed here. The JC Editor component for Joomla 1.0.15 and the newer version 1.53 has come a long way from JCE 1.1 beta 2! Tag it:
