Joomla! site syndication http://www.troozers.com 2010-03-10T00:12:56+01:00 http://www.troozers.com http://www.troozers.com/images/M_images/joomla_rss.png text/html 2009-02-26T16:43:02+01:00 http://www.troozers.com http://www.troozers.com/news/latest/moving_onwards_and_upwards.html This site has been left static, and gathering a fair amount of dust, for longer than is anything reasonable. Unfortunately my time for doing Joomla development has been few and far between and as such I have just left this site as a holding location for the modules and mambots which I had coded and may have proved useful to the Joomla community.However, Joomla has moved on far far beyond what I had created my little bits of code for, and as such I think that this site, as it stands currently, no longer serves a useful purpose and I need to decide in which new direction I will move it.There are a number of things I am doing in the background, such as Joomla Clustering and other opensource developments which I think will provide the basis of the new site and hopefully be of use to somebody... anybody...As I have mentioned before this will probably be developed in my own unique timescales, but do visit on the occassional basis to see what has been changed ;) text/html 2006-07-28T10:36:48+01:00 http://www.troozers.com http://www.troozers.com/news/latest/rockettheme_site_of_the_month.html We won! The guys over at RocketTheme.com (http://www.rockettheme.com/aff/affiliate.php?id=36 group=1) have awarded troozers.com the very first Site Of The Month Award , as can be seen by the lovely rosette now proudly adorning this site :)The award is given to RocketTheme template developed sites, nominated by the members and judged by the panel on how well it's been implemented and developed.Special thanks also goes to Jacob Hodara of jh-design (http://www.jh-design.com) for modifying the Internet Gazette template to my particular tastes and making it more 'trooz-centric'.Once again many thanks for the award guys. text/html 2006-07-14T23:07:23+01:00 http://www.troozers.com http://www.troozers.com/news/latest/resignation.html Not entirely sure why it hasn't appeared on joomla.org, but the sad news is; as of early June I have resigned from the Joomla development team. Now before any conspiracy theorists decide on the where, the when and more importantly the why I resigned, I will give you the brief version; Time. As some may have noticed from the CHANGELOG's, my input into the development and maintenance of Joomla! has been woeful for more months than is in anyway reasonable.This has been mainly due to work, family and other commitments that I have. With this in mind, and knowing of the loads of quality developers now in Joomla, I decided that this would be as good a time as any to formally resign from the project.And that's it! No disagreements with any of the team members or direction of the project. Just a simple lack of available time. I will of course still be maintaining troozers.com and continue producing mambots, modules and components in my own unique timescales plus providing any help that I can to the Joomla! project, which I am still passionate about.Onwards and upwards :) text/html 2006-05-04T00:15:59+01:00 http://www.troozers.com http://www.troozers.com/joomla!/components/updated_webcamxp.html I have updated the WebcamXP Component, Module and Mambot for use with Joomla! 1.0.x, which can be found here (http://www.troozers.com/option,com_docman/task,doc_download/gid,11/Itemid,47.html). All three elements are installed automatically, when you install the component. The update is just a minor one to better support the way Joomla! handles mambots, improve some presentation elements and tighten some code. text/html 2006-05-02T19:23:19+01:00 http://www.troozers.com http://www.troozers.com/joomla!/howto/template_tutorial.html One of the things that I have been grappling with over quite a few months, is how to write a tutorial on creating a template for Joomla! I have made a few stabs at this, but the amount of information and the way it was presented was always a little lacking. Now, however, thanks to Barrie North of Compass Designs (http://www.compassdesigns.net/) a very complete and excellent tutorial has been published on Joomla!
