 I am currently working on a new project for Joomlapraise called "Praisefolio". Praisefolio is a simple to use Portfolio component for Joomla. For this component I wanted a nice JS Lightbox script to display various portfolio images and I started off with the default lightbox that comes with Joomla.
After some time I found that the Joomla lightbox was too limited in it's functionality and visual appearance. So I searched the web and tried out several new scripts until I got stuck with "Greybox" made by Orangoo - a lightweight script(22kb) with lots of functionality, stunning appearance and great performance in all major browsers.
To share this handy tool more easily with you, I've made a Joomla plugin that let's you use Greybox instanstly in your content items, modules, components and templates. Have fun :)

 I've added a new function to clear the log and reduced the price to $5...that's almost a %50 rebate! Furthermore, a narrowed free version is now available for you to check out.

We've just released our Activity Log admin module for individual download on JP and purchase on CMSM. I had to blog about this because I really love this handy module+plugin combo. If (for some strange reason) you're not using AdminPraise2, you can also install Activity Log and use it in the default Khepri admin template or AdminPraise1.

 I've never understood why Joomla comes with several groups (Public, Author, Editor, Publisher, Manager, Admin, Super Admin), yet the only choices for Access Level in viewing a module are Public, Registered, and Special. What if I only want the public to view certain thinks like a message to register and not have registered viewers see it? What if I want to hide something from everyone but Administrators?
We're continuing our model of "we feel your pain" at JoomlaPraise and have developed a lightweight module that will save you from irritating workarounds and having to tell a customer "that's not how it works", introducing AccessLevelModule! Simply enter a module position into AccessLevelModule and you'll be able to pick exactly which Joomla User Groups can view the module. You can also choose which module style (xhtml, rounded, etc) the modules will produce when rendered!
Here's a screenshot of the module parameters:
Simple enough?

 The latest generation of PraiseSlides is better than ever! For the unaffiliated, PraiseSlides displays Joomla articles from a section or category in a sliding or fading animation. How those articles are displayed is totally up to you! The latest version PraiseSlides is all about customization. Our members asked for customization and we've given it to them. You can now choose between 2 unique themes, each with 20 color combinations (that's a total of 40), and 8 color overriding parameters! Choose if the navigation appears on the top, right, bottom, or left.

 I am pleased to announce a maintenance release for the SubmitMailer plugin. The update fixed two known problems:
- Fixed email problem when using SMTP mailer
- Fixed server error when "Send to custom address" is enabled but not email is defined
[ Download SubmitMailer 1.6 ] |
In addition to all the previous features, SubmitMailer now allows you to either:
- Approve an article from an email link
-or-
- Approve and publish and article to your frontpage from an email link
On a side note, we had the wonderful surprise of hearing that SubmitMailer helped one of our members detect a hacker exploiting the 1.5.5 bug where the admin account can get hijacked:
The following is a quote from a member:
"I got an e-mail this morning from good ol' SubmitMailer telling me that someone had hacked my site, and updated an article by resetting the admin password.
Thanks to SubmitMailer, I was able to react quickly and shut this down before any damage. "

 We've released another great FREE Joomla module, PraiseShow. PraiseShow is an extremely lightweight slideshow module that will scan a directory and flip through all the images. That's not all though, PraiseShow has a trick up its sleeve. PraiseShow can pull link urls from Joomla's default Web Links component! If the user specifies a Web Links category ID, the name, description, and url will be used for each of the images.

 HTML Frames and iFrames have given developers the ability to combine web content into one page...with limitations:
- Cross domain issues - browsers don't like sites accessing each other (for good reason).
- CSS styling issues - styles are not inherited, iframe styling can cause issues, etc.
- SEF issues - search engines do not consider framed content as part of your site.
- The list goes on...
The PraiseFrame module can be used to inject web content into a web page and avoid some of these limitations. Version 1.0 supports navigation in the framed page through the containing page. The user can specify which links should lead back to their site and which ones should not.
How does it work?
- The user specifies a starting URL for the module.
- When a page containing the module is requested, the server calls the URL using php curl and displays the results (with modified links) on the containing page.
- If the user selects a modified link from the PraiseFrame content, they are directed back to the containing page with the original URL as part of the query string.
- PraiseFrame requests the new URL and the process continues.
Future versions plan to support AJAX calls as well as forms. Keep checking back for updates and submit any suggestions you have to the forums.
