We are happy to announce that Shack Locations is now available for Joomlashack members.
Shack Locations is based on FocalPoint, an excellent extension, originally developed by John Pitchers.
Two of our extensions already support Google Maps. Both OSEmbed and Shack Toolbox allows you to show Google Maps in Joomla.
However, the FocalPoint extension goes much, much further.
With FocalPoint, you can create advanced map-based directories with custom legends, markers, infoboxes and hundreds of locations. You can define the content for each location using CCK functionality. You can also give your users the ability to search and filter all the locations.

Bootstrap is the most popular design framework in the world. It's an HTML, CSS and Javascript framework that allows non-designers to create clean-looking websites and interfaces.
Joomla 4 will arrive with Bootstrap 4 in the core.
Bootstrap is popular because it provides a pre-built code that solves many of the tricky problems that slow down web projects.
The latest class for Joomlashack members, "How to Use the Bootstrap 4 Framework" is the perfect introduction for anyone who wants to start using Bootstrap. These videos will show you how to use Bootstrap 4's grid system and responsive features. You'll learn how to design menus, buttons, media, and text. You'll also see how to safely override Bootstrap's defaults with your own code.
