Hi there!
Have you ever looked on the Joomla Extensions Database for a Joomla component or plugin that just doesn't exist, but you desperately need?
Or do you wish Joomla had additional features - like automatic Twitter feeds related to your article's subjects, or new articles based on an RSS feed ...?
If so - let me know! If I like your idea I'll develop it with you and give you a lifetime license for free.
Sincerely,
Barnaby Dixon
Your ideas
Dear Burnaby,
I have May Sites In Joomla 1.5. The Only Best Thing You Can Do Is To Upgrade Joomla 1.5 to 3.5 without the loss of data. If you make this component or extension I will purchase it $1000
Best Regards,
Faheem
We Can Change The Templates etc But the site should stay in touch I mean articles and categories etc you know better.
This could be a great achievement for all joomla users world wide.
Respect,
Faheem
I am requesting this extension because now a days joomla 1.5 is being attacked by hackers and thousands are being effected including mine. If there is a possible solution that you upgrade joomla 1.5 to 3.0 or later that would be super.
People can go for new template or make them compatible to 3.0.
Best of Luck.
Respect,
Faheem
Hi there,

Barnaby... The generated menu list is being sorted in the reverse order that the articles were created. I want it to obey the ordering I specify in the Articles Manager.
How can I control the ordering of the menu items?
Hi there Mark,
Thank you for your comment. In theory it should automatically obey the ordering that you have in the Article Manager, so it's strange that it's not. I'll take a look as soon as I get a chance - as you know I offer Kazaam for free so I have to wait for a free moment before I can look into it. Sorry about that!
All the best - Barnaby Dixon
Hi Barnaby,
there is yet no 'infinite scroll' plugin for joomla...wordpress has :D :D
u know...as facebook or twitter when u scrolling down :):)
It is very annoying in Joomla that you need almost always a menue item if you want to alternate the title tag of a page view based on a category or an article. There should be a possibility to have a field on the category edit page as well as on the article edit page to do that. Several plugins seem to manage the problem but they do not realy good because they only write the title in an existing menue item or they produce garbage - especially when the plugin is turned off or it was deleted. It would be much better to have the title stored in the database together with the category respectively the article. If one wants to override it with the setting of a menue item so that should be possible as usual.
I have a request for a simple plugin/feature for Joomla. It might have been part of the system back at the beginning.
On a category blog, you can set up a number of leading articles and a number of intro articles. I would like the leading articles to show the full text (without the readmore if it exists). Then the Intro articles would show whatever is before the readmore.
Such a simple idea, yet I can't find anything that does that.
A lot of people would use this, I think. I know I would love to have that feature. I hope you can write something to do that.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to ask for it!
I have been trying to come to terms with joomla for about a month (off and on). As a new user the most frustrating part about joomla is not joomla itself. It is the search engine on the joomla forum.
I have found it really difficult to find previous posts in the forum by searching.
Yet when I go to google I can quickly find articles and discussions even posts inside joomla forum.
It is not very helpfull to "hit" every instance of the word "save" when I am looking for "save joomla" or "back-up".
So top of my wish list is a google style search engine for the forum. Either that or some instructions that are easy to find. Not sure if such a request fits inside "extensions" developer capabilities.
Hi there,
I'm afraid that's not something I can deal with - you will need to discuss this with the Joomla forum support team.
All the best - Barnaby
Hi there Andrew,
That is a great idea - very simple and yet so effective. I'll look into building it, and I'll stay in touch to discuss the idea further.
Cheers!

LMAO...since the day I sent this...I was looking for the response in my email. I assumed it was private. I am glad I found my way back here. This is awesome news. In my opinion with a plugin like this I think it would hugely benefit ALOT of site admins, as so many people refuse to update because of the template editing they have performed.
Thank you,

P.S. If I manage to find time, I will post some more ideas. Do you have a certain area of expertise that you want me to focus on?
Hi again,
I think the best idea might yet be to add a css file called 'overrides.css' in your template/css/ folder, and add the override rules you want in there.
Then add a reference to the overrides.css file just before the in your template index.php file, and your overrides will work perfectly. They also won't be overwritten by any upgrades.
All the best,
Barnaby
Wow...finally a place for my ideas. I am a professional creative thinker, so this contact form for me to submit my ideas is just what I have been looking for. I generally think these ideas right of the top of my head and rarely write them down...so with that said, sometimes what I "see" does not translate into words to well. But I will give it a go.
SITUATION: In the past month I have literally rewritten all my css changes for all my modules and template pages due to third party file updates. Of 15 different Modules and one template. I had a total of 15 module new updates, 1 template new update and 3 additional template -reupdates with 7 modules having additional re-updates as well.
TITLE: Overrides Plugin
DESCRIPTION: This plugin will load up a single css file to override all other css within a template or module. This will benefit ALL joomla users that need to alter their CSS throughout their website.
FUNCTION: In Admin/Plugins you will assign the file for the plugin to load. You can name this plugin anything you like and locate it anywhere you need. This allows better chances that this file will NEVER be overwritten.
SOLUTION: If I had a single source for template overrides, I can easily maintain my changes and never fear of losing them due to updates. With that said, I will never have to worry or track which modules I edited.
I hope this explained enough, if you need more details, feel free to email me at [email protected]
