Sam in Da House!

Last Friday, we had the honor of having one of the Joomla! core developer, Sam Moffatt in our office. He spent a couple of hours with JomSocial team and gave us some personal insights into the upcoming Joomla! 1.6.


I can tell you that we are pretty excited with Joomla! 1.6 and what it offers. As far as JomSocial is concerned, we will certainly make our code runs smoothly with Joomla! 1.6, making JomSocial the best open source social networking software for Joomla! 1.6. Work on this has already begun and in fact other than some plugin issues, we are almost good to go.

Extending Forms in JomSocial 1.8

While we work day and night to finish up the upcoming JomSocial 1.8, I would like to take a moment to introduce a new API which is extremely handy for plugin developers.

What we just added to JomSocial 1.8, is the ability for JomSocial plugin to intercept the rendering of any form and inject their own HTML code into the form. Perhaps it would be best if I explain this visually.
