Implementing Joomla’s Cache Callback API

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010 by Adam Docherty

It has been a mighty busy few weeks here at ‘corePHP’. We are moving forward with several new projects that you will soon be hearing a lot about.

JAutosearch is one such project that may revolutionize the way visitors utilize your website’s search functionality; about as much as I can say about JAutosearch at this time, although it will likely be released by the time you read this (or very nearly!).

Ok lets get down to some Joomla! extension tips!

jomSocial and Search plugins now available for WordPress for Joomla!

Monday, September 20th, 2010 by Steven

We have been working hard behind the scenes to wrap up a few gems for WordPress 3.0. I am proud to announce the official stable release of following plugins:

  • jomSocial Plugin: This plugin pulls all the most recent posts from a user into the profile. New additions such as improved editing, social sharing, and improved styling are now part of this package.
  • jomSocial Toolbar: Additional toolbar item will be displayed right within the jomSocial toolbar allowing you to easily access your blog, edit your blog, and more!
  • Joomla! Search Plugin: Now, you can search through the multi-site blog posts just as easily as single blogs! Building this plugin to allow for multi-site searches was a challenge, and we’re sure you’ll like the results.
  • Complete integration with jomSocial. The blog post will appear in the jomSocial news feed. Every time you post a blog, you can configure the amount of points that user will get with the jomSocial points system

As you can see, these tiny tools will do wonders for your site. Enjoy!

Support Delay

Saturday, September 18th, 2010 by Steven

It has been a busy week for the ‘corePHP’s WordPress for Joomla! product launch. We expected additional support tickets and product questions above the norm during the launch. Over the past few days we have received 3-4 times the amount of questions that we had originally prepared for. With all these questions and the limited amount of man hours, some tickets are not getting answered in what we consider a timely manner (within a 24 hour period of time during the work week). Here are ‘corePHP’ we take pride in the speed that we respond to our customers. If you have submitted a ticket within the past few days and have not received a response, rest assured that it will be responded to by our support staff. We thank you for your patience as we get to your tickets.

Joomla MVC – Load a model from anywhere!

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010 by Adam Docherty

Hello there!

It is good to reuse functionality whenever you can. Many think that there is a 1 to 1 relationship in regards to model and view, but this is not the case. In fact, the model can be called from anywhere. This means that you can quickly hook into functionality without duplicating code, which is always a good thing! Read the rest of this entry »

Control HTML without javascript

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010 by Rafael Corral

This is something I have known about for a long time. It is advanced and can mostly be used for Cross Site Request Forgeries (CSRF). Not that I condone these, but the best way to defend yourself against hackers is by knowing as much as they do.

In some cases users turn javascript off in their browsers (I do) for security reasons. HTML has just about no scripting capabilities if you discard the FOR attribute on the LABEL tag. It is possible to trick a user into submitting a form by them simply highlighting text on a page. The FOR attribute binds a label to another element, which is some sort of scripting, I guess.
