RSJoomla! Blog - Development

The first months of this year were an occasion for us to take another look at the feedback we have gathered in the past year, analyse what was achieved and plan the direction in which RSJoomla! will be going in 2015. Our mission remains the same; just like our motto says: " Really Simple Joomla! " – we aim to bring simplicity and task automation through our extensions.

The default color schemes that come with our Joomla! templates don't really suit well the direction that you had in mind? Read this post to learn how to implement your own.

Microdata or rich snippets were introduced back in 2009, as a way of helping search engines describe and understand the content is being indexed and thus displayed in search results.

Yes, ok, but how does this affect me, the Google searcher ? Simple: less time spent on search pages, more time on the actual content, more exposure.

UPDATE! Bug has been confirmed and will be fixed in Joomla! 3.4.1

We've recently talked about the benefits of Joomla! caching. In the past weeks, we've seen an increase of people using Joomla! caching and that's a good thing - but not without its issues.

What is causing the error

Joomla! 3.4.0 introduced a new security feature, scanning uploaded files for potential dangerous code. For example, it scans uploaded archives for PHP code - something that should not be done in the Extensions Installer (com_installer). Fortunately, Joomla! contributors already debugged and fixed this (pull request here) so if you don't want to wait until 3.4.1 is released, read this blog post.
