JoomEdit - Make Joomla Dynamic Using JQuery

JoomEdit

JoomEdit - The easy way to make your Joomla site extremely dynamic.

Don't know Javascript but want to make your website interactive and dynamic? No worries, just install JoomEdit! JoomEdit integrates Joomla with IxEdit, a powerful JavaScript-based interaction design tool.

Benefits

  • Create interactions easily without having to know Javascript or jQuery
  • Cross Browser Compatible: Internet Explorer 6+, Firefox 2+, Safari 3+, Opera 9+, Chrome 

    (The above is once the code is deployed, it's fully compatible across all modern browsers.  However, Google recently abandoned Google Gears which presents some issues and thus we're moving away from Google Gears.  For development, Firefox 5 is not supported, some versions of Safari aren't depending on the operating system, and Chrome is not supported.  This is only for development.  Once the code is deployed it will work in all browsers and visitors never need Google Gears.)

  • User Friendly
  • Secure

Requirements

  • Firefox 3 or 4, or Internet Explorer 7+ as your development environment. **Since Google has abandoned support for Google Gears we've converting the extension to be independent of Gears.  Please bear with us a for a few months. **note: this is only for development. See Cross Browser Compatibility above for compatibility from the users' perspective once code is deployed.
  • Gears installed to use local database via IxEdit. **note: Google Gears is not needed for the users of your website. It is only needed for the developer, but once the Javascript code is deployed it will work for everyone without Google Gears.To download Google Gears, click here

Select which menu item that you want JoomEdit to appear on.

Please note, if the page is live then set the access level to special while editing so that the editor doesn't appear to your users ;-) Once you're done with the editor then you can set it back to public if you want the javascript to appear for everyone.
