xMap Extension Plugin for Joomla Knowledgebase
Following a rather disturbed, abusive and threatening email from a customer (with a fancy PhD!) I commissioned Guillermo Vargas, the developer of the xMap extension, to develop a xMap plugin for Joomla Knowledgebase so that all the categories and articles would be listed in sitemaps generated by xMap.
I did this, not because of the threats (of negative reviews, “speak[ing] out long, repeatedly, with lots of detail and literally eloquence”, and even the publication of a book about my bad support!) but because I think it will be a great asset to JoomlaKB.
Although we never tolerate abusive and threatening emails from customers, and have since terminated communication and offered a full refund to the person involved, we are pleased that some good has come from the experience for our other customers.
Less than 12 hours after commissioning the development of the plugin I am pleased to say Guillermo Vargas has delivered the first draft of the extension. We are busy testing it and will include it in the next releases of KB.
Along with this plugin, Joomla Knowledgebase has benefited from lots of bug fixes, and changes for the next version which will be backward compatible and easy to upgrade to. Please watch our blog for further details in the next few days.
For those who are brave I have attached the first draft of the xMap Extension for Joomla KB here:

I read this post a few days ago and found it interesting that someone with a PhD had taken the time to threaten you because of issues they had with your work? components? whatever. However, I found it even more interesting when, today, I found myself engaged in a heated discussion with a PhD holding individual. It was probably the most bizarre experience of my professional career. I, like yourself, have been in consulting positions throughout my career where I interact with many different personality types- but I have never experienced such unreasonable inflexibility and arrogance from any of my customers prior to this person. It was most unusual.
Keep up your good work and blog posts. I’m not a customer, but am a fan and strive to be with my business where you currently are with yours.
