The Joomla! Forum™

Do you realise this would amount to a policy by JED to take implied responsibility for insecure extensions and consequent damages arising from successful hacking of user web sites?  If so the JED will soon be crippled by lawsuits!! Why would it amount to that? If you link to a page from your w...

If the forge/joomlacode didn't exist, developers would have to host their own extensions. This isn't a problem where the developer remains interested in improving or updating their extensions, but if they stop, for whatever reason, the extension will eventually vanish when they use the server space ...

As a developer of forge/joomlacode hosted extensions which are listed on the JED, I think the transfer was fairly smooth. Email was sent to the registered address warning of the changes well in advance, and requesting feedback/questions on the process. This was then followed with a reminder about a ...

The problem with this is that a lot of extensions rely on what has been entered by the site content editors - the extension might be XHTML Strict 1.0, but if the content has been pasted from an old HTML editor and is full of s and s, the output is going to be invalid when checked. Likewise for CSS: ...

The main alternative is OpenSEF. You can remove the links - there is a post on the forums somewhere which says what to look for, and there was a replacement sef.php file around too, but I can't remember where! It's up to you whether you remove the component or not - I just prefer to have control of ...

It's one of those techniques that was popular, but then the search engines noticed and will penalise sites that have hidden links. It's like text with the same colour set as the background - worked for a while, then got noticed and acted on by search engines, so now reduces your site appeal to them....

It's not generally possible to say, with a lot of extensions. The best you can do is often to say that, if the end user only inputs valid code, and the rest of the extensions in use output valid code, then the extension in consideration will be valid to some extent. There are also various issues wit...

Sounds awful... Get enough junk mail as it is, and don't particularly want emailing every time a tweak is made to an extension or listing. RSS feeds have the wonderful feature of being checked when you want to check, rather than email that forces it's way in whether you are busy or not. Oh, and don'...

It would be useful to post the list here as well, so people can check whether any of the extensions they are using have this feature, without needing to go through the listings on the JED. After all, openess is good.

I've mentioned this problem in this forum before, and submitted a report asking that a note be added to the listing in the JED warning of this, since the download page does not (or at least, didn't as of writing) have any mention of this behaviour. Users should not have to install extensions in orde...

Well, technically, the release could happen at 11:59am GMT, on Friday, and it would still be on the 12th. For Honalulu.

Frankly, I'd rather get something that works on the 15th than something that is buggy and creates bad feeling about the development process on the 12th...

Because the OpenSEF developers fell out with the extensions site, IIRC. No obligation to be listed on the extensions site if you don't want to be...

I've been using a lot of different extensions from the site whilst building sites recently, and, given that I run our server on PHP5 and MySQL 5.0.x, have noticed that some extensions have a lot of "invisible" issues with these newer versions. By invisible, I mean they appear to work perfectly withi...

Just put a Joomla install in a subdirectory of your site, add the component you want to use, and put it as the first item in your main menu. You'd have to redo your design to fit the Joomla templating system, and mimic your site's menu structure within Joomla to get it to blend in though, hence my o...

All the extensions are for Joomla. If you wanted, you could run a Joomla install purely for running an extension, but you can almost always find standalone equivalents to the extensions that would make sense outside of a CMS environment, and these will tend to have more possibilities for integration...

The category Admin Tools->XML is showing 0 entries in the side bar, but if you click on it, there is one entry.  Looks like something has got confused!

Still going slowly for me...
It seems to be the images (buttons, toolbar images) that are going the slowest, and it is only apparant on Joomla.org sites (especially forum).

Even the toolbar, which you'd expect to be cached after one post, hasn't fully loaded yet...

Same problem, apart from that I'm logged in, and it won't let me view any pages, or logout...

Now that's fast response!

5 stars for the Joomla Extensions team (with 1 rating) :-P

I only noticed because I've published a new extension this morning, which hasn't been downloaded at all, yet someone has given it a one star rating. Had they tried it, fine, but rating something without bothering to download it is just stupid...

The problem also goes the other way - people can put a low vote on a new extension without even bothering to try it, and hence predjudice people against using it. Having a minimum requirement of, say, five votes before showing a rating at all would mean that new extensions get a chance to be tried b...
