Joomla! 1.6 support

There are more than 2 weeks since Joomla! 1.6 was released and we managed so far to update 7 extensions, including the today newcomers, RSComments! and RSFinder!.

The Joomla! 1.6 component list includes until now RSMail!, RSEvents!, RSFiles!, RSSeo!, RSFirewall!, RSFinder! and RSComments!.

RSComments! improvements

While updating the RSComments! source code for 1.6, we took a look at our TO DO list and added several new functionalities.

1. New placeholder in the "Notification message"

Besides {username}, {ip} and {link}, you can now use a new placeholder - {message}. This is available for the "Notification message" area.

The new RSComments! revision comes with new backend and frontend functionalities: AJAX driven pagination, Latest Comments Administrator Module and other enhancements.

1. Latest comments administrator module

In the Joomla! backend control panel, you can now display the latest comments posted on your site using the new RSComments! module.
Just install the module using the default Joomla! installer, publish it in the Module Manager >> Administrator area and set its position to “cpanel”.

We have been quite busy these days, while working on a new RSTickets! release ( with the top requested feature - the reporting tool ) and launching our new comment extension - RSComments!

As the name suggests, RSComments! is a commenting system for Joomla!, in the RSJoomla style, designed to work on any article, blog or other extensions.

Visitors

• can submit comments with or without registration (depending on user restrictions)
• can have an avatar displayed in comments from Gravatar, CB, JomSocial, Kunena and FireBoard
• can vote for comments that like or dislike (similar to stumbleupon.com)
• RSS feed for comments
• quote for comments
• see and send emails to other users that have been contributed at discussions (also based on their permissions)
• use smiles & BBcode
• access "who is" information about a specific author by querying the RIPE Database, a public database containing registration details of the IP addresses and AS numbers.
• insert images, code, links, YouTube and Google videos
