Re: why is the official demo offline?

Coffee Cup's html creator might be worth looking at also.

Re: why is the official demo offline?

Well, ya gotta get the shoes that fit the foot. For small, static content, web presence sites, the J!.15 horsepower isn't needed - after all, it "is" a CMS, not a website creator. Something simple could be created using NetObjects Fusion or any other html program without the bother of a My...

Re: why is the official demo offline?

I read where it will be back online again shortly. Some security issue I believe needed to be fixed to keep vicious and malfunctioning people from hacking it or something like that. Send your friend to our testing site and http://www.joomlaacademy.net/stable/ to view the default install. There's a c...

Re: Filtering the extensions by version supported?

My hands are sore from applauding your comments wshealy. I think that all 1.5 stuff should be culled out of 1.0x and have a separate website operation. Afterall, they are two different horses, right now sharing the same barn. The "nags" should be separated from the "thoroughbreds"...

Re: Filtering the extensions by version supported?

One added comment to the J!1.5 legacy thing. When I've purchased new automobiles from the dealer's showroom, my first move wasn't to run to the "junkyard" and start replacing parts with pieces from older models. I take the same approach to J!1.5. There isn't a website in the world that is ...

Re: Filtering the extensions by version supported?

It isn't the problem of J!1.5, its the extensions having strange stuff in their deliverance and installation, etc. that isn't consistent with the core. If you are using J!1.5 native, you should also have a site policy to use native extensions. You can always install 1.0.15 and run the old extensions...

Re: Filtering the extensions by version supported?

I've asked the Extension Team to put the version icons on the main page of the extensions index and not the per-item page to save time. Been told the matter is being "considered/worked on/will be" or something like that. I hate seeing an extension with nice features that I could use, only ...

Re: Full Width Wrapper

Its a reverse process, between menu link items and modules. You need to do this for EACH module on each side of the page. Create the button to open the wrapper. Go no further. Go to each module individually via the Admin B/E >> Extensions >> Module Manager. Open each module, look at the bottom for t...

Yup. Oh well...gotta adapt to the change. However, on my end, likely won't be looking at the forums that often because of it.

Re: Trying to code a horizontal mainmenu that wraps into multiple lines

The painless way to do a double line menu is: Create two identical menues in the same module position and stack them one above the other. Do not display a module heading/title on the second row. When row one is filled with buttons, begin adding them in row two. You can create a unique new style for ...
