Where do you find good developers?
5 Replies

As a design firm, we're constantly looking for more developers to join (and stay) on our team, but it seems all the good ones are already doing their own things (commendable!!) - so for all you…Continue

I don't have coding skills on the level you all have, but recently I was thinking that it would be nice if the use of every core component would be preceded by a plugin check that allows redirection to another component. So one would make a…

Ivo, you're making my point for me. It would be GREAT if we could apply the same logic that is used to override JFilterOutput in those plugins. Unfortunately, however, the com_user (or any core components) entrypoint files do not use…

Same logic was applied in Protos SEF, Phoca Internationalization plugin and the Unicode Slugs plugin. All of these overwrite the class related to automated creation of aliases.

Overriding the Logic in Core (or any!) Joomla Components

It is common knowledge within the Joomla Development Community that Joomla allows you to override the HTML output for any extension (including core ones) that use the Joomla MVC Framework. In itself, that is pretty exciting because it means that you can make an extension look however you want even without changing its core files, which would otherwise be known as "hacking" the core files.However, what if you wanted to override more than just the HTML output? For example, what if you wanted…See More

Joomla Developers: Make Useful Dashboards!

For some time, the majority of Joomla components with a dashboard have used it as a "landing and branding" page with little use other than to display some large buttons and perhaps company branding. I have to admit, we at Dioscouri have also been guilty of "the useless dashboard" -- our entire 2008-2009 line includes one. And in our case, we went so far as to call the big buttons "user-friendly" (disgusting, Web 2.0 malarkey. Sorry.)

Yea! Thanks, Rafael, for joining us. Obviously, you have much you can share with other Joomla! developers. You have accomplished a great deal as a developer company and you've done so with respect for Joomla!'s license. Please feel free (and encouraged!) to share information, concerns you have about Joomla!, or ideas on how we might collaborate. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better and also to learn more from you. Thanks, again, for joining in!
