Joomlashack Adopts the FocalPoint Mapping Extension

: Written by Steve Burge Steve Burge; Published: 15 August 2018 15 August 2018

We are happy to announce that we agreed to adopt FocalPoint, the Joomla mapping extension.

FocalPoint is an excellent extension, originallly developed by John Pitchers.

Over the last few years, we've made it clear that we're willing to adopt Joomla extensions. Whenever we've sent out that message, or announced an acquisition, people suggested Google Maps extensions to us.

With other Google Maps extensions, we weren't able to contact the original developer. But, when a user suggested FocalPoint, we reached out to John. He was enormously helpful and encouraging. Plus, his design and coding work in FocalPoint was outstanding.

So, thanks to feedback from Joomlashack users, and John's help, we're going to adopt FocalPoint. The new name will be "Shack Locations".

Introducing the New Joomla 4 Administrator Template

: Written by Valentín García Valentín García; Published: 06 August 2018 06 August 2018

A few months ago, we wrote about the proposed design for the Joomla 4 administrator template.

The Joomla team is now making progress in turning that design into code.

In this post, I'll show you the current state of the Joomla 4 admin template, which is called Atum. Keep in mind that the current version is Alpha 4, which means we don't even have a Beta version available yet. A lot will change before the final release.

OSDownloads is Now Integrated With AcyMailing

: Written by Steve Burge Steve Burge; Published: 01 August 2018 01 August 2018

OSDownloads is a great way to store and share files in Joomla. It also allows you to build email lists. You can request email addresses and other details from visitors before they can download your file. This email collection feature of OSDownloads is what you see when you download any free extension here at Joomlashack.

You can also connect OSDownloads to newsletter services so you can send emails to those visitors. OSDownloads supported Mailchimp and Constant Contact. Now it also supports AcyMailing, the Joomla newsletter extension.

In this post, I'll show you how the new OSDownloads Pro and AcyMailing integration works.

Joomlashack Adopts the Extensions of Pixpro Labs

: Written by Steve Burge Steve Burge; Published: 01 August 2018 01 August 2018

Joomlashack Has Adopted the Extensions of Pixpro Labs

Over the last 13 years, Joomlashack has built popular and powerful extensions and templates for Joomla.

In addition to building our own products, we've also acquired them from other developers. In recent years, we've adopted 6 extensions: JCal Pro, jInbound, Shack Forms, Shack Toolbox, Shack Open Graph, and Tabs and Sliders.

We think that adopting extensions is a win for everyone. In the past, developers had limited options if they wanted to stop work on their extensions. If they made an official announcement, they had to deal with unhappy users. To avoid this, sometimes the developers would just disappear. In contrast, a smooth adoption leads to a great outcome for the developers, users ... and Joomlashack customers.
