Throughout these years, we have been trying to ensure that our product logo's do not look disintegrated from one another. Well, it did worked out for us for a little while, if you can recall the Origami-ish logo that we made for EasyBlog, EasyDiscuss and SectionEx (Hint: The ones on the front page)

After the release of Komento, we have toyed around with a couple of ideas and decided to update our existing products with a new logo so that they look much more integrated.

Presenting to you the new logos for our Joomla! extensions.

Let us know what do you think of these new logos =)

P/S: Can you guess which logo belongs to which of our extensions?

Congratulations to the Joomla team for the release of the latest Joomla 2.5 just days ago. Many have anticipated for this release and as excited as you were, we had put in the hours to get all our Joomla components ready and compatible with Joomla 2.5.

The all-new EasyDiscuss 2.0.3689 was already compatible with Joomla 2.5 when it was release weeks ago. If you haven't find out what's new in EasyDiscuss, read more in our blog post http://stackideas.com/blog/entry/easydiscuss-20-released.html

EasyBlog version 3.0.7756 is also Joomla 2.5-ready, too, if you need to start a blog in Joomla.

Of course, our components still support native Joomla versions 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 and expect to have them around till their respective end-of-life arrives.

Go ahead and get a copy of the latest Joomla 2.5 at http://www.joomla.org/download.html

Yes, the wait is over! We are proud to announce the versatile Joomla questions and answers component EasyDiscuss version 2.0 is released today. Bear in mind, this is a beta version which means it still has to undergo a period of stress test before a stable release is out.

If you are already our customer, please feel free to login to our website and proceed to our forum at http://stackideas.com/support/discussions/index/easydiscuss-203091.html to download the EasyDiscuss 2.0 beta and do a trial run in your local server. I couldn't emphasize more on testing it on a local server and not on a live website because this beta version may contain certain bugs that may mess up your website.  So, yeah, I hope you understand.

This is actually my first blog post after joining the company not long ago. Some of you may have known me since back then but those who have never get to meet me yet, I am Mark one of the new developers here.

I hoped you guys are excited when the earlier post about EasyDiscuss 2.0 as it will be one of the biggest change ever. While working on EasyDiscuss, we were a reluctant to actually create YAC (Yet Another Comment) plugin but after developing it on the initial wireframe stages, it got us thinking that this is pretty cool and it allows easy searching when the replies are actually done in the discussions itself.

The plugin allows you to automatically link the articles in Joomla back to EasyDiscuss and vice versa. So, here it is some screenies of how it works and how it's going to help you build your site to allow collaboration between your site members and the author's on the site.

This is what the front page would look like after enabling this plugin.

First of all, I would like to wish everyone Happy Thanksgiving! Hope everybody had an awesome dinner last night.

By the way, I am Ajmal, the new hire here at Stackideas as the marketing guy. What can be more exciting for the new guy to start off than to announce the latest updates about one of our products, EasyDiscuss!

In the spirit of giving, we are proud to announce that we are sponsoring the upcoming Sydney JoomlaDay 2011 to be held this weekend (in a couple of days!). It gives us a sense of enjoyment to be able to contribute to the worldwide Joomla community particularly users in Australia.

Congratulations to John-Pierre and Friederik! They won the professional subscription copy of both EasyBlog and EasyDiscuss respectively at the recent Joomla! User Group Montreal meeting. If you are around there, you should also try to participate in their meetings! It's really cool!

One of our focus lately is beefing up our Joomla questions and answers component, EasyDiscuss.
