I cannot read text in my WYSIWYG editor!?!

Written by Peter Martin Wednesday, 08 October 2008

You cannot read the article text in your WYSIWYG-editor because it has some annoying black/blue/some other dark colour?
Is that colour the same as your site template's background?

Tired of changing article order on frontpage?

Written by Peter Martin Friday, 12 September 2008

Articles assigned to the Front Page will be added on top of the existing Front Page articles. That's a nice feature, but what if you had a "Welcome to my website" message on the top row? Will you go to the Front Page Manager every time to reorder your "welcome" message to the top?

Sliders

For Joomla! 1.5.5 Alan Langford put in a really nice patch that improves the user interface when you create or edit a menu item. In the past, you always had to have one of the sliders open, which is okay, but when you have a lot of parameters, the lower sliders can go off of your screen. With Alan's patch you can now close all of the sliders at the same time.  He writes about creating this patch in the August issue of the Joomla! Community Magazine.

Extension updates made easier

Tired of having to manually update an extension and breaking your menu links? As of Joomla 1.5.5, you no longer have to use the installer to first uninstall an extension and then reinstall a new version. A new feature from Sam Moffat was committed to the codebase that allows developers to use <update> in their XML. You'll be able to install the new version without removing the old one, preserving all of your menu items and other settings.
