Module Nimbus 1.1.0 for Joomla! Tags
One of the joys for me working with Open Source products is that others can see, adapt, improve and learn from my code in the same way I have from others.
Today I see someone has released a nice Tag Cloud replacement module for Joomla Tags.
Take a look at the full details here:
Red Flag Green Flag Cross Tick
This article applies to the latest versions of Joomla Forms, Joomla Knowledgebase and Joomla Tags extensions.
It came to our attention some time ago that using green 
and red flags 
to indicate published/unpublished states was not very easy on the eyes, and especially for those people who have trouble with colour-blindness or other disabilities.
Therefore we have a hidden tweak in the above extensions 
If you would prefer tick 
and cross 
icons instead of the flags you need to edit the file:
/plugins/system/blueflame/bfTweaks.php
And change the line that says this:
define ( 'bf_useflags', true ); // DEFAULT: true
to this:
define ( 'bf_useflags', false ); // DEFAULT: true
job Done
Tags and KB Extensions Updated Today
Today we have released further updates to KB and Tags extensions.
I dont have a full changelog, but a lot of bug fixes, including SEF plugin issues and other minor tweaks have been included.
Compatibility with KB and sh404sef/SEF Advance 2008 should also be fixed now.
And the other main issue was Tags and Layouts, these all now work correctly
Note: The main bulk of this release is to push out a new xajax plugin version. If, after upgrading FROM A WORKING VERSION to the latest version of either of these extensions you get a blank page then just delete /plugins/system/xajax.* and refresh the page – that will force a reinstall of the new xajax plugin – this is required on all sites!
Joomla Tags v0.1.1833 Released
Just a small note to let you know we have released the long awaited update to Joomla Tags. This update fixes all known and reported issues with Joomla Tags and fixes some core issues in Joomla 1.5.x that were broke following changes to the Joomla 1.5.x codebase.
This version is compatible with Joomla 1.0.15 and Joomla 1.5
Joomla Tags – New Features Just Released
Well its Christmas time again And while you are all busy eating left-overs I have been busy improving Joomla Tags with adding the very most requested features!. I have just released v0.1.1541 which contains the following new features:
- Ability to select, on a per content item basis, whether to hide or show tags
- Ability to set the global value to either show or hide – the above feature can override the above feature
- You can now limit the number of tags in the tag cloud and set the number of tags that will display!
We have also fixed every confirmed bug/issue with Joomla Tags, added better non UTF-8 encoding support and even fixed a load of underlying issues with bfFramework. We have also added the cool codepress plugin which allows you now to edit the components CSS and Layout files with colour syntax highlighted editors! All from within your web browser!
We hope you will like the new features – please feel free to provide feedback on the Joomla Tags forum
Joomla Tags v0.1.808/20 released. Another major milestone.
Today we have released Joomla Tags v0.1.808 and bfFramework v0.20.
Existing customers can download from http://www.phil-taylor.com/cc
This is a major release with some major underlying code changes and WILL BREAK YOUR SITE if you do not read this carefully.
If you have an older version of Joomla Tags installed you MUST remove the content mambot, and all Joomla Tags Modules for Joomla Tags BEFORE UPGRADING as the new version requires the new code in the new modules/mambots. You can do this simply by using the toggles in the Addons Page of Joomla Tags admin.
If you fail to do this your site’s front end will result in errors or a blank page!!! If this happens the quick fix is to delete the mambot and modules using the Joomla Admin interface.
Have fun with it and report any issues in the forum please.
Ok we did it AGAIN! OpenSEF and Joomla Tags
Man are we on fire today!
From Joomla Tags revision version v0.1.607 , OpenSEF 2.0.0-RC5_SP2 is now fully supported !
There are a few additional steps to take to get around “features” (read bugs) in the OpenSEF RC but nothing major:
* Add a link in the Joomla Menu to this component – leave that unpublished (or published if you want)
* In OpenSEF Configuration -> Features: Turn off Enforce Canonical URLs
* In OpenSEF Configuration -> Components: Choose to Alias this component – this overrides a known issue.(Your alias can be whatever you like – as long as the box is checked!)
