Mister Joomla turns 40...happy birthday Robin from the JFoobar team!

Written by Wilco Jansen Tuesday, 22 December 2009 00:00

For me it is still amazing to see this guy going strong after 4 years running around as Robin Hood of the Joomla project. Today is a special day; Robin Muilwijk former forum moderator and all times top poster (15.107 posts) has turned 40. Congratulations Robin with reaching this milestone and that new suit looks pretty awesome, hope it is not the new EzPublish power-suit because then the other CMS projects are in deep trouble :-D

What if your buttons don' t work in Eclipse?

Written by Wilco Jansen Monday, 21 December 2009 18:14

Some time ago I upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala 64bits so I can use all 8Gb of RAM on board. All my applications work like a charm, the new Virtualbox 3.1 is even nicer but when I installed Eclipse PDT I noticed a problem with the buttons in screens after I tried to get the Subclipse application installed in the PDT installation...nothing worked!

So I needed to move to command line Subversion management since that doesn't come out of the box with Eclipse PDT. Very annoying, because I use the Subclipse add-on not only for committing, exporting or merging, I also use it to check certain commits with the history option, and most important I am lazy by nature (all coders seem to suffer from that habit). Posted a question on the Eclipse forum and sadly got no reply, but today I found the answer to my problems from which obviously more people suffer.

Create the shell script below, and this problem is fixed.

#!/bin/sh
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
{path to you eclipse install}/eclipse

Back to coding :-D

Joomla! goes iPhone

Written by Wolfgang Disch Tuesday, 17 November 2009 11:26

The way a website should look and behave in a mobile device is significantly different than how it does on a PC display. According to the principle "Write Once, Publish Everywhere" we don’t want to force users to maintain multiple copies of every page. That would be disgustingly inefficient, particulary for a site based on Joomla!

I want to present you a proposal which is based on a template and on a module which shows arcticles from your Joomla! website.

The template itself is made up of iPhone-optimized code including the iUI-Library of Joe Hewitt.This library helps the website to emulate a native iPhone App by using Javascript and CSS. Its goal is simply to turn ordinary standards-based HTML into a polished, usable interface that maps to iPhone interface conventions. You know from standard Apps the sliding pages, a header with Back-button and a menu, which is able to reload items using AJAX.

The big advantage is to load several iPhone pages at the same time so you have no delay when you navigate from page to page. This gives you a better useability especially when you are using EDGE connections. With not more than 16k the template is lightweight and fast.
