JoomSuite
Written by Administrator

js.member.gifIn the last meeting we spent some time discussing payment systems.  One component I mentioned in particular was the JoomSuite collection of tools for handling extended user information and payment systems.  JoomSuite Member allows you to setup very powerful and flexible payment systems for your registred members.

If you need components that work with Joomla! 1.0.x, then you will need Joomla! Equipment components.

Rocket Theme

rockettheme.jpgDuring our last session (May 2008) we began to cover templates in Joomla! 1.5  In this session we spent much of the time showcasing the great selection of professionally designed templates available from Rocket Theme.   At $70 a year, it is one subscription that is hard to beat for someone doing 1 or a 100 Joomla! websites a year.

Discussion Bot
Written by Shane Sevo   
Wednesday, 26 March 2008

bestofjoomla.gif In an effort to jump start some activity on our forums and encourage people in our user group to participate in the forums, I have installed a discussion bot.  Here is how it works...

Every news item can be linked to a discussion thread in the forum.  I have setup a default forum called "Article Discussions"  you will see the Discussion Link at the bottom of every article on the site.  If you hover over it you will see how many posts are in the forum related to that article.  Want to start a discussion about an article... just click the discuss button and it will create the post in the forum for you...

Now is that cool or what?

Get the Discussion Bot from Obect Clarity

Detroit J!UG Pet Project
Written by Shane Sevo   
Wednesday, 19 December 2007

gift.gif The Detroit Joomla! Users Group is seeking a project to take on.  Over the next year we will be working through the process of installing and configuring Joomla! into a powerful community portal tool.  It is our intent to use this process as not only a training project, but also a final working website to group / community who could benefit from its creation.

We are currently taking candidates for this project and will be developing the scope of qualifications soon.

If you would like to nominate a candidate, post an entry in our forum

It's hands-on training regarding how to build a website using a CMS, but conducted at happy hour.   We are starting this in Ann Arbor but will be sharing the material with others so it will not be limited to only meeting at Carlyle Grill.

Submit Your Bios
Written by Shane Sevo   
Wednesday, 19 December 2007

bio_icon.png It was suggested at the last meeting that we should compile our bios and place them on the Detroit Joomla! Users Group website in order to demonstrate the collective skills and abilities of our user group community.  I think it is a great idea, so I went ahead and created a news category and placed my bio in it for starters.  Anyone who is registered with the site could create their own bio.  When we are going after projects as a group this will be a great resources to quickly summarize our collective skill set.

I set up this bio list as a simple news list, but there are many ways to build directories in Joomla!, this is only a start... perhaps we will find a better tool shortly!  Let me know what you think folks...
