Right-trim the text at word boundaries 0

Very interesting post about the trimming the right part of a text at word boundaries, but without losing a text content completely - so called Accessible. This is very usefull in displaying article titles in any CMS system. The blog post is here: Breaking the text at word boundaries.

Joomap / Xmap Serbian 0

Joomap is probably the best component for Joomla, for generating HTML or XML site maps. Together with it, there is another imporoved Joomap component, that is called Xmap (as eXtended Joomap, I presume). The biggest difference is in interface, an that Xmap supports multiple sitemaps.

Anyway, I already had a Serbian (Srpski) translation of Joomap v2.05, and now I expanded that with translation file for Xmap v1.0.4.

So, download them if you need them, and install by copying in components language path.

eXtplorer / joomlaXplorer Serbian 0

eXtplorer is the best file manager for Joomla CMS. Once called joomlaXplorer, now it changed a name to eXtplorer probably because of total interface redesign that is now utilizing beautiful ExtJS GUI library.

Anyway, I just translated it to Serbian language (Srpski) using UTF encoding. So everybody can download it (for eXtplorer v2.0.0 RC1). Besides that, I attached the translation of classic (not to say “old”) version joomlaXplorer v1.6.2.

How to install? Just put files it into the /administrator/components/com_extplorer/language.

Administrator skin for Joomla 1.0x 0

Minted - really fantastic. I think, internally is fantastic coded. Much faster, and has an excellent system of translation, who I may apply on some other projects. For us, this system does not work, since we have already translated our system manually, but have it in mind.

phpBMS 0

phpBMS the software business. They openly say that the system has to procurement and has Lager. And that’s about it. All the rest are small errors, and great advantages:

Disadvantages:

  • While supports UTF-8 (Unicode), it does not have the localization (for now).
  • It is not Tax system per product, but only by the entire invoice (problem in VAT countries).
  • Phone numbers are seven-digit entries in the format xxx-xxx-xxxx, can not by no means be different.

Advantages: Almost everything is done just as expected, by me.
