TechJoomla. For all things Joomla!

We have just released a new plugin for SOBI Pro to add Date field Support in this awesome CCK. While working on a project, we realised that SOBI Pro does not support Date/Calendar fields so we went ahead & made this small plugin which will add this feature. 

For those of you who are not aware of SOBI Pro, its a super flexible CCK system for Joomla & can cater to a lot of your requirements.You can get it here.

To use this plugin, download it & install it using the SOBI Pro Applications & it will be available as a new field type when you create a new field.You can download the extension here :  SOBI Pro Date Field plugin

** Note that we shall be releasing many such small nifty plugins for free. Support for these however will be purely community driven.

We are sorry to have kept you waiting for all this time !  Besides 1.6 compatibility, we have added tons of fixes including CSS & JS compression which means that JBolo will load much faster . Plus support for new MS Office files has been added in the file sending. We have also done a Quick installaler now for JBolo that will take care of a lot of the settings that you had to do manually earlier. So its even user now to get started with the chat system on your site. Also added are some more improvements in relation to the Javascript that will minimise any chances of conflicts with other extensions or templates even further.

Go ahead & give it a try ! Users with Active subscriptions can download the extensions from the My Subscriptions menu ! Please read on for a full change log.

J!MailAlerts ver 2.3 is now available with Joomla 1.6 Support !

The extension is free from download in the free extension area. All the plugins are also updated to support Joomla 1.6. Note that though all the plugins have been updated to 1.6, all extensions that we support might not be ready yet to work with 1.6.

This is a common package release & the installables for both the component & the plugin should work well with both Joomla 1.5 & 1.6 . Note that from this release onwards, the main component & user plugin are available as a quick install package.

The commercial plugins & JomSocial plugin pack for JMA can be downloaded by users with active support subscriptions. If you need help setting it up, you can opt to buy a support subscription.  By the way, we presented J!MailAlerts at the Joomla Day in KL, Malaysia.
