Company

We received an email from a customer recently that reminded us of a core Joomla value.  Whilst it's nice to have the fanfare of opening high profile public Web sites on software you helped write, Joomla's main edge has been it's ability to enable ordinary people to do extraordinary things.  The following story epitomizes this paradigm.

JXtended's Louis Landry has been selected as Joomla's Most Valued Person in the Packt 2009 Open Source CMS Most Valued People awards, and deservedly so.  Louis has contributed to many aspects of the Joomla project and is currently one of the coordinators responsible for overseeing development of the software.

The staff at JXtended wish to congratulate Louis on his well deserved achievement.  Well done!

JXtended is a leading Joomla extension development company run by some of the most recognized and respected people in the community. We are looking for an entry-level support technician to add to our team. As a support technician, you will be responsible for supporting clients as they install, configure, and use our commercial Joomla extensions; creating knowledge-base articles in response to common questions and issues; escalating client issues and concerns as required; and, most importantly, ensuring the highest-levels of customer support and satisfaction possible.

JXtended now has its own page on Facebook and it would be great to show your support by becoming a fan.  If you have a site running any JXtended extensions and you would like show it off, post a link on our wall.

Following from the release of the new JXtended site, the demo site has also been updated and expanded with the latest version of all our commercial products.

The demo site includes complete example installs of three essential extensions for all Joomla Web sites:

• Comments - visitor and user commenting, content rating and social bookmark links;
• Finder - advanced and accurate searching for Joomla Web site; and
• Labels - labels/tags for your content that integrates directly with the administrator article edit page.

Each of these extensions is easy to install and configure in minutes.

For your projects that need a little bit more horsepower, example installs of our content management extensions are also available:

• Catalog - perfect for directory sites; and
• Magazine - to suit sites that mimic printed magazine-style, publication based Web sites.

Administrator access is available to give you a feel for how all these extensions can lift what you can offer on your Joomla Web site.

To find out more, visit the JXtended extensions page.

The changes to our new website go far beyond the asthetic, right to the core of what JXtended is all about. We've made some significant changes to the site's structure, the shopping cart, the support system, and the downloads system, to name a few. We've put together this blog post to help explain some of the important changes in order to help our users get comfortable with the new site as quickly as possible.

Development of our XHTML editor has been discontinued and the extension is no longer supported by JXtended.

Development of our WYSIWYG editor (based on the FCK editor) has been discontinued and the extension is no longer supported by JXtended.  WYSIWYG was built in a time when there were virutally no editors available for Joomla 1.5 around the time of it's initial release.  This is no longer the case and there are many to choose from including a native FCK editor plugin.

For those wishing to use the editor, the final development cut is available here.  Please note, there is absolutely no support for this extension (so please don't ask for any) and you use it at your own risk.

As an alternative, we recomment this CKEditor extension.

Development of our beta Content Manager product has been discontinued and the extension is no longer supported by JXtended.

Downloads for Content Manager are now available from the Art of Joomla web site.

Development of our developer utility product Exchange has been discontinued and the extension is no longer supported by JXtended.

Downloads for Exchange are now available from the Art of Joomla web site.
