Call For Joomla! Production Leadership Team Nominations
Written by Mark Dexter
The Joomla! Production Leadership Team (PLT) is responsible for leading and coordinating the development of the Joomla! CMS and Platform. This includes releasing new versions, fixing bugs, adding new features, and creating documentation. We are looking for your nominations for new PLT members. We acknowledge that the greater worldwide Joomla! community can help us a lot in this process and make us aware of potential candidates we may overlook.
Nomination Information
We are looking for up to four new PLT members. Useful areas of experience and expertise for nominees include:
Free ticket to Melbourne Joomladay
Written by Anthony Olsen
We are in the final stretch of 2012 which means that Melbourne Joomladay 2013 is just around the corner. I'm quite excited about this event given that I'll get the chance to meet Brian Teeman and Peter van Westen in the flesh. Skype is certainly a great tool for building friendship with people in distant parts of the world, but nothing beats sitting down and sharing a quiet brew or two, to really get to know someone - especially if that's on a ridiculously hot Melbourne January day.
More international talent ...
Fellow Joomla template creator Bui Huy Thang from Joomlashine will also be giving an indepth session about making the Joomla administrator a better place. Bui was a key player in the Joomla 3.0 UX design team so that will certainly be a must see presentation.
JB Library script loader and the start of a new library
Written by Anthony Olsen
I've just released JB Library v2.1 which features two new improvements to the way that the library plugin works.
A new script loader
One of the biggest headaches developers and site builders see when developing jQuery functionality within joomla is a javascript conflict that results from multiple versions of jQuery loading on a page. This is mainly triggered in cases where script declarations are declared after the $ name space has been re-declared by another javascript library.
Technically, jQuery should be able to load as many times as you want on a page - although best practice is to only load one. Even with multiple instances of the jQuery library loading on the page, it's core functionality should remain unaffected.
