To say the least I was surprised that there was no sign of a release candidate being put in the public spotlight… Well atleast not for the next short while. In some 2 weeks time Beta 9 is scheduled to be released and after asking around for some guidance as to the RC dates or even a final beta there was a sincere response of “It will be done when it is done and unfortunately we cannot give you a timeframe.”

I was not at all surprised at this response and for the most part Joomla are lucky they have got such a paitent group of followers. This being the case they do not have any pressure to get something out in the next little while. The commitment of beta releases is a sure sign that the development team are just as keen as their followers to get the job done.

Will it be worth the wait? I think you would be sincerely surprised at the outcome of the project. There has been alot of advancements which we would have normally waited for in the old development cycle to mature and get momentum. This being the case I would recommend that once the first version comes out give it a couple of weeks to a month then start migrating to the new platform. It will be worth it particularly if you have an active site using membership features. One of the biggest things is giving a little bit of time for commercial components to be built so that you can make the most of it. There will be no more “Hack” styled releases of components and developers will be deploying using the same method as steps have been put in place to prevent the usage of old php code and anything outside of the standard framework will not be functional as explained by Andrew Eddie of Joomla.

As more informaiton becomes available I will post some news for you all. Until then bye for now.

Content Management Ssytem which is known as Joomla! 1.6. This is going to be a significant milestone in the Joomla! development cycle as it is going to include the most heavily requested feature of ACL. ACL will enable webmasters to build a website that can cater for multiple user levels. What makes it even more impressive is the fact you can create your own access levels and permissions.

Joomla! have announced that they will be releasing yet again another Beta just days after the latest beta was made publicly available on the 12th of July. While this post has taken a few days to make it to the website, the news of a beta 6 being developed was a shock to say the least. It showed that for the first time in the development of Joomla they really wanted to make it stand out from the crowd and be possibly the most secure, stable and reliable build to date from this brilliant community. In Joomla 1.6 there has been alot of changes and for the most part they are much needed improvements. It will be interesting to see what comes of the next beta.

Stay tuned for more updates!

The problem lies however with the flatterned urls in virtuemart. Joomla 1.5 has native support as most of you reading this would know however it does not handle many third party components to well. Virtuemart being a great example of this. In turn you are left with a large list of options. One of these being SH404sef and like any third party application it has its issues. This includes the way it handles some of the Virtuemart urls like the “Add Shipping Address” link in the account maintenance or even in the checkout sections of the Joomla / Virtuemart combination.

I know that if you were like me you would have spent quite a bit of time looking for a solution. You are a little better off though as there was no real solution that WORKED?!?!?!? I was reading through a forum thread discussing how SH404sef works with Virtuemart. It made mention of the com_virtuemart.php file in the sef_ext folder within the com_sh404sef folder component folder. So I read through this file and figured out a solution which would prevent users from getting thrown back to the home page when clicking on the “Add Shipping Address” link. I have attached the code below. Insert the following code towards the bottom of the com_virtuemart.php file and you should be good to go.

case 'account.shipto':
if ($sefConfig->shVmInsertShopName) $title[] = $shShopName;
if ($shVmCChk)
$title[] = 'vmchk';
$title[] = "shipping-address-maintenance";
break;

If you are wanting to save some time by cheating I have attached a copy of the file here in txt format. Upload the file to the /components/com_sh404sef/sef_ext folder and your issue will be solved.

The design came back with a product image, product price and a link to the product details. To achieve this in Virtuemart is not overly hard however it does have its inherit draw backs. Some include the fact you cannot have multiple module positions on your site for the top ten module. Instead you have to do the design for the one width / position then work your to the final product from there. This of course is for Joomla 1.5.x and Virtuemart 1.1.x. If you need a similar solution for older versions I will not be able to help as you should be upgrading your virtuemart store to the latest version along with your Joomla Install.

The problem I faced was that not one person had the knowledge or could be bothered to give a complete solution. This issue took a couple of days to work out a solution but once I had it nutted out it put me on easy street for the rest of the development. Anyway attached below is the code you need to achieve the desired outcome of what my client needed for their site. If you need help with it let  me know by posting a comment.

Well before I could say here it is and this is what it does there was the immediate release of Joomla 1.6 Beta 2. This of course ment that the small amount of time I spent installing Joomla 1.6 Beta 1 was a complete waste of time therefore I thought it best that I review Beta 2. What I found about Beta 2 is not only exciting but well worth the read.At first glance there was a few noticable changes when you first login. It does look like the interface has had a bit of a face lift as you will see in the screenshot below.

Joomla 1.6 Administration Area Welcome Screen
As you will see alot of the common features and functions are in place from J1.5. A big improvement is the new icons they have been put together for this release. To start off any Joomla site you should always config all your basic site settings. So lets have a look at Global Configuration. This was somewhat refreshing with its layout and you will see straight away there are some massive improvements.

Global Configuration Site Pane

So lets go through this panel. First of all you have the basic Site Settings. In here you cover things like the site name, whether the site is online or offline, the offline message you wish to have while your site is offline, editor etc. This is standard sort of stuff that come in Joomla 1.5 so nothing new here.

Metadate Settings has a new field called “Content Rights” which at first glance is a bit of a waste but it gives you the opportunity to let others know what usage rights they have when it comes to your content. Then you have required * next to site meta description and keywords. This you could probably leave and should consider leaving as these tend to go on a global level so in otherwords it is site wide.

The Seo Settings has finally got some substance and more features. Unicode aliases is probably a bit of a waste for most users but the new “Add Site Name to Page Titles” option is handy and one that Joomla has been missing since day dot.

Global Config System Pane

Ok this system panel is somewhat smaller and probably a little disappointing from a developers standpoint but more than sufficient for most other users. A cool feature is you can now debug modules. You will see I have set the Session Lifetime to 150. This is currently set at 150 Minutes. I have done this so I can review Joomla 1.6 for this article. I would recommend that you leave it to 10-15 minutes at most.

Global Config Server Panel

For the most part the Server Settings tab is not something that needs much work but WHAT THE HELL was Joomla thinking when they did the timezone section. It was great they went to UTC but the timezones list is alot bigger and quite frankly for america it is probably ok as there are alot more cities than Australia and probably alot more timezones. In Australia there is way too many options for a smaller country or a country with fewer states.

Global Configuration Permissions

This panel is probably one of the most exciting additions to Joomla 1.6 and that is the most anticipated release of their very own ACL system. First glances is this is very daunting looking and something that is going to make it hard for some administrators to follow. The basic settings are already in place so for most people they will not need to change the settings but for administrators like myself you will probably want to change them to suit the needs of your next project.

So far this is all looking really impressive. The next thing to look at is what significant changes have been made to this system. It is understandable as to why so much time has been lost in planning of this new platform. The menu structure has changed and this is something that is for the better. There has been some small modifications which I can say is a little disappointing. Things like the articles management. It has finally got rid of sections and now there is only categories with potentially unlimited sub categories BUT this comes at a cost. Frontpage Manager has departed, media manger has migrated its way to the Content menu for some stupid reason but none the less it had to go somewhere.

The amount of components installed by default have finally been knocked on the head. It comes with basic options like contacts, weblinks, messaging, newsfeeds and banner management. What is new with components? Believe it or not FINALLY we have a redirects component designed to help with your 404 and 301 pages. So this is killing the need for some comprehensive SEF and SEO components like sh404sef. Does this work well with other components? This no one can really answer until components are compatible.

Templates is probably another core area that alot of people care about so in brief, here is the long and short of the template manager. There is now more templates installed by default for both the frontend and the backend of the website. These templates are nothing spectacular so you are probably wanting to stick with the basic administrator  template called “Bluestork” and the Beez2 template.

There are more settings and options to duplicate templates so you can make your own customizations. You can customize your templates and how has access to them etc. You even have more control over the templates and styling of not only the main template that people see but also the Print Views. This is one feature which has been sorely missed and asked for by many for so long now. For the most part the coding used in the templating system has remained the same as it was in J1.5.x but with a few added features.

In conclusion is Joomla 1.6 what people have been after? Will it bring Joomla to the next level? Given that Joomla 1.5 was a great success and has proven to be a great system for the most part I think not only is it a great progression towards making it the best Content Management System out there but one that will certainly set some standards when it comes to Content Management Systems as a rule. WordPress and Drupal will certainly have a lot of things they need to do to keep up. If Joomla was to become a paid for application there is no reason why I would not pay $300-$400 per license. It seems a little high price wise but honestly paying for this application would ensure its longevitiy and success. Not only that but it is certainly worth every cent. While it is currently free I would say if you overlook Joomla you are certainly doing yourself in justice. The next few months will see the release of Joomla Beta 3 and hopefully a stable release. With this in mind it is only going to get better.

While I have had to sadly turn people away with no real definitive solution or place to go to I have done some research and found a great product which as the title suggests “Joomla Made Easy” does make Joomla easy. This complete guide comes with not only a great step by step guide on how to install, configure and use Joomla but it also comes with Joomla templates, addon modules and guides on how to create membership sites.

There are over 18 Joomla videos, a joomla template maker, joomla template ebook and a massive 400 Joomla Templates to choose from. The great thing about “Joomla Made Easy” is the way the videos are created they are all user friendly and show in laymens terms how to create the joomla website you have always wanted. The cost for this product is $47 but for the money it is well worth purchasing.

I did a little more asking around and found a chat log that was posted on the Joomla Community website. This chat log talks about the upcoming changes and advancements in Joomla 1.6. While this chat was a scheduled one a few good points and questions were covered. Amongst the biggest of points was the fact that ACL has been a bug bear but it seems to be getting there.

[22:49] <rdeutz> we are working 5 years to put acl in joomla, give us 2 or 3 version to find the best solution :-)

This of course has meant that developers planning some projects in Joomla have left for other solutions due to this shortfall but on a brighter note it looks like that 1.6 might actually bring them back with the deployment of this great feature. From what was discussed it looks like that ACL has been a part of the hold up with the Joomla 1.6 release date.

Some people earlier on in the chat started pushing the envelope as to the release date of Joomla 1.6 and this is what they had to say:

[22:04] <SFGolfer> Lets talk about 1.6 – what’s the status?
[22:04] <Mark_Dexter> Glad you asked.
[22:04] == SullySullivan has joined #joomla-ask-the-team
[22:05] <Mark_Dexter> We’re making good progress towards a beta release, and there will be an announcement on this soon.
[22:05] <lonemamber> what does that mean in real terms
[22:05] <SullySullivan> What does “soon” mean?
[22:05] <JeffB> how soon?
[22:05] <SullySullivan> This calendar year?
[22:05] <Mark_Dexter> the announcement should be within a week or two

This of course has now put a bit of pressure on to the development team with this loose but definitive response. I am not surprised someone was going to railroad them in to giving some form of response. This at the end of the day addresses the question “When is Joomla 1.6 Beta going to be released?” One thing I can say for sure is that you will see on here a review of the beta once Joomla releases one.
