Joomla Blogs, News and Extension Updates

It's Friday and we are happy to announce that PayPlans 4.0 Beta is now ready for further testing. In this release, we focus mainly on bug extermination, usability refinements along with Joomla 4.0 compatibility.

​I would like to explain one of several ways you can use to setup PayPlans 4.0 subscription system with EasyBlog.

Today, i would like to share how to identify which PHP file is rendering a particular part of Joomla's frontpage and ways to trace back where an error is coming from. 

Before we end this extremely productive week, I would like to take the opportunity to share a little more on the progress updates for the upcoming release of EasySocial 3.0.

To date, studies show that over 60 percent of users access the internet from their mobile devices as compared to 2014, which was only at 40 percent. This means mobile users had rapidly increased over the years. If we observed Joomla's ecosystem, more and more developers have already updated their extensions to be mobile-friendly. 

The problem when browsing the internet via mobile back in the day, there were simply too many elements being displayed on a small screen size. This somehow causes the browser to load unnecessary content which then leads to slow page load. So, in an attempt to make web pages load faster on mobile, Google came up with Google AMP.

Hey look! It's that Monday morning again, and you're sitting down with your first cup of coffee while mumbling about "Why did my weekend past by in a flash of light". Despite all, you opened up your blog and excited to see that someone commented on your latest post. "Fantastic!" you think. "I'm finally starting to get some traction with my site! Monday isn't so bad after all!" Then you looked closer, and you slammed your coffee mug down in disgust. Those comments weren't from excited, engaged readers who truly enjoyed your content and want to join in the discussion. It's from a spammer. Yuck! Monday Sucks!

It only has been about two weeks since we released PayPlans 4.0 and while the team was working on PayPlans 4.0, works for EasySocial 3.0 was already underway. With EasySocial 3.0, we realize that we should take a new approach for EasySocial when it comes to better user experiences. 

Our focus for EasySocial 3.0 is focused on simplicity, clean cut and will provide better overall user experiences to generate more interactions between your users.

It has been over 2 weeks since we last announced the ​availability of PayPlans 4.0 Alpha. Today, PayPlans 4 Alpha 2 is ready for further testings. This release mainly addresses installation issues, bug fixes and other refinements that were reported in.  

Smart search indexing is a really great feature in Joomla that allows us to index search results. In today's tutorial post, we will explore the ways to manage smart search indexing across our components.

It's finally Friday and we would like to quickly introduce you to a cool content display for Joomla. This awesome looking extension was developed the awesome folks of Minitek.
