Blog Switch

JoomlaMafia formerly used MyBlog to do all inhouse blogging... We are making changes and part of those changes is We have retired MyBlog at least for the site blogs, We will continue using MyBlog for JomSocial...

We are in the process still (got some new people helping out, our about page really needs updating)

We are installing JomSocial, Forum system, and making a dozen other changes...

Here has what we have been up to for the past few months.   We are about to release new versions of all our software, I don't want to give away all the details I am just going to highlight one

Mafia Icons has a new version.  Current SVN has no reported bugs in 2 weeks with over 100 private beta testers so now we are adding more features.

  • Component:
    • Expiring dates on some systems didn't seem to expire, that has been addressed
    • Cleaned up a lot of code
    • Added language file support so now Mafia Icons can be translated
    • Changed how database records are handled so instead of 'deleting' you 'clear'
    • Reordering of Icons is supported
    • Added Email field to icon details
    • Added Price Paid to icon details
    • Added Notes to icon details
    • Changed up Parameters adding in some new code
    • Fixed a bug in the rel link system
    • Once installed, Would you like some sample records added? This will insert 4 icon ads into the component
  • Site Module:
    • Cleaned up code from approx 200 lines of code to 40 lines
    • Added Parameters to allow alignment
    • Module Class Suffix supported
  • Admin Module:
    • Brand new addition to Mafia Icons
    • Positioned in cpanel - Gives you when Icons are expiring, gives you an email link  so when its about to expire you can email them to remind the and offer a renewal

I personally believe its a good idea to have icons in your Mafia Icons because your visitors have no real idea who paid for the spot and who didn't ...  I can tell you this much, JoomlaMafia has made over $10,000 off Icon ad paid ads in the year and a half its been around. So at a $50 price tag for the component... Its a very good investment. We have made WAY more off the Ads then the Component.  At the time of writing this we only have 2 Icon ads up because... Well I thought I was on another site and I uninstalled the component and installed the new version and found a bug... the bug was it dumped all my records I had and I am still sorting through emails finding all the paid ads so I can rebuild them if they haven't expired and I am also giving them an extra month even if they did expire.

We are going through all other software and adding in language support, cleaning up code and getting gearing up for 1.6 release so everything is coded in a fashion to allow 1.6 support
