Will Joomla ever be what you want it to be?
Written by Jeremy Wilken
At Gnome on the run, Joomla is a major part of our work. Having been speakers at and organizers of several Joomla events, naturally we have a focus on the future of Joomla and what impact we can make. This past weekend we saw the first Joomla Roadmap Meeting (watch clips here) happen at Joomla Day New York. It seems to have sparked a lot of discussion on social media channels about what Joomla ought to be, where it ought to go, and why.
Watching and participating in this discussion, I began to wonder more about if it is possible to come to a reasonable consensus about what direction Joomla should go. I realized very quickly: it probably will never be exactly what you want, but there are ways to change that.
Now a member of the Clear Lake Chamber
Written by Jeremy Wilken
Recently Gnome on the run officially joined the Clear Lake Chamber in an effort to be part of the community and help promote the area. Today the Chamber honored Gnome on the run with a ribbon cutting ceremony, and we'll get a photo linked on here soon.
The Clear Lake Chamber is an organization committed to helping businesses in the Clear Lake Texas area, that includes 2 counties (Harris and Galveson) and 9 cities (Clear Lake City, Clear Lake Shores, El Lago, Kemah, League City, Nassau Bay, Seabrook, Taylor Lake Vallage, and Webster). I'm very happy to be able to help with the Chamber and be part of the community development it provides to the local area.
Joomla Site Developer's Pledge
Written by Jeremy Wilken
This past week I (Jeremy) was invited to speak at Joomla! Day Austin, a full day of Joomla from start to finish. It was a unique concept where the speakers walked attendees through the steps of building a website, from the planning phase, to a design workflow, to choosing and developing extensions, to site deployment. If you weren't there, you missed out, but have no fear some pieces should be available on the website at some point.
My presentation was about using and evaluating Joomla extensions. Its a big part of a Joomla site developer's responsibility, and at the end I made all of the attendees stand up and take a simple oath to be responsible when using extensions. Jen Kramer mentioned that I ought to make an official version, and post it for all to see.
A better way to set module positions in Joomla
Written by Jeremy Wilken
Today I found myself wanting to change the default behavior of Joomla 1.7, and the only way to do that was to hack the core. However a creative solution came to light, and a new plugin was born to take control of this seemingly basic, but very annoying functionality in the Joomla administrator.
