As some of you might have noticed, JoomlaHacks.com has been going through some major changes. JoomlaHacks.com is not dead. I was just overwhelmed with all the priorities I need to work on first. Now that I got a little bit of breather, I am implementing new features so it would be easier to maintain this website.
All these new features are being developed by myself using jQuery Ajax framework. I chose jQuery for ease of development. With jQuery, it now takes me half of the time and just half the code to develop extensions compared to just plane PHP coding.
New Template Gallery.
There is a newly redesigned Joomla Templates Gallery. In the past, it's very time consuming for me to approve every submitted templates. Templates will no longer be installed on the demo website. Instead, a screenshot should be provided by the author. With the new design, all submitted templates will automatically be published. But spammers beware, don't even try it because I now check this website everyday and your spam is one click away.
I am currently working on an Ajax module to compliment the Templates Gallery. It's actually live now, but I'm still working on jQuery UI tabs.
Topsites (Site of the Day).
The current topsites will be permanently offline and will be replaced by a new one. Wait for it in 2 weeks.
Extensions.
The downloads section will also be replaced with a new component that I am still designing.
All these new features are coming. So please just bare with me if the frontpage keeps on changing. I am directly making the changes as I don't have time to make a copy for development.
