AllVideos v5.1.0 released - now with Twitch support

Version 5.1.0 of AllVideos is now available, adding support for Twitch and fixing a couple of bugs introduced in v5.0.0.

Here's what's been added or changed in this new release of AllVideos:

  • AllVideos now supports Twitch as a 3rd party video provider. You can use the full URL inside {twitch}...{/twitch} tags.
  • When you disable media downloading, AllVideos will also make sure that the native download option is also turned off in supporting browsers (Chromium based).
  • Fixed audio playback in K2 forms and content when using the Media tab in K2 to embed an audio file.

Additionally, the documentation page for AllVideos has been updated to reflect the changes introduced in v5.

DEMO

The JoomlaWorks demo site has been updated to use the latest AllVideos release. See here: http://demo.joomlaworks.net/allvideos

DOWNLOAD

You can download this version by visiting the extension's page at: https://www.joomlaworks.net/allvideos/

UPGRADING

If you use the latest Joomla 3.x releases (or Joomla 2.5), this new update will appear in the Joomla extension updater. If you're using Joomla 1.5, you can simply upload the new version and it will overwrite the old one. After that step, visit the plugin's parameters page, check if everything is OK or adjust as needed and save the parameters.

SocialConnect v1.10.0 released

SocialConnect v1.10.0 is now available to download for subscribers. This new release improves compatibility with recent API changes in Facebook and LinkedIn.

Here's what's been added or changed in SocialConnect with the release of v1.10.0:

  • Facebook authorization in SocialConnect's settings will now render both your personal account as well as all Facebook Pages that you have access to (for posting content). Listing pages broke due to a recent change in Facebook's API. Additionally, all API calls will now use v2.12 of their API.
  • LinkedIn login and auto-posting now both use version 2 of the LinkedIn API - this also resolves auto-posting to LinkedIn failing because of the deprecation of version 1 of their API. Please keep in mind that posting directly to LinkedIn company pages is not yet allowed by the LinkedIn API.

To refresh your integration with either Facebook or LinkedIn, simply re-authorize your accounts from the SocialConnect settings.

As a reminder, 2 new options were added in the previous release (v1.9.0) under "Advanced Settings" ("Enforce HTTPS" & "Enforce absolute URL when posting to social") which address edge cases where social login failed (namely in sites behind CloudFlare that utilize "Flexible SSL") or auto posting failed (the shared URL was rendered relative instead of absolute).

 

DEMO

The JoomlaWorks website as well as the K2 website both utilize the latest release of SocialConnect.

 

DOWNLOAD

If you have an active SocialConnect membership, just head over to the Member Dashboard at https://www.joomlaworks.net/members and grab your copy from your "Subscriptions" page.

Or purchase this latest release from just 19.90 EUR. More info at: https://www.joomlaworks.net/extensions/commercial/socialconnect

RadioWave v1.2.0 released

RadioWave v1.2.0 has just been released. This is a bugfix and feature-improvement release.

Here's what's been added or changed in RadioWave with the release of v1.2.0:

  • Fixed time parsing for the OnAir template override (K2 Content module) which caused the module's output to break under certain circumstances. The info displayed has also been extended to the name of the show and the start/end times of the show.
  • Added update server reference so you can be notified on future updates of RadioWave.
  • Improved compatibility with PHP up to v7.4. Additionally, any PHP notices that may have appeared in the frontend or backend have now been resolved.
  • References to IE have now been entirely removed (this includes both HTML and CSS code).
  • Massive CSS cleanups & updates. Browser specific syntax (e.g. -moz-*, -webkit-* etc.) has also been removed. Invalid CSS has been fixed (3 rules related to CSS background gradients).
  • Updated all JS libs to their latest compatible versions.
  • The RadioWave Generic Player module (installed separately) has also been updated to v2.1, which now includes an option to autoplay your custom radio streams (among other minor improvements). You can get it for free at: https://github.com/joomlaworks/radiowave-generic-player
  • QuickStart package updated to use the latest Joomla (3.9.14) and K2 (2.10.2) releases.

If you are using Joomla v3.8+ and K2 v2.10.0+ we highly recommend you update to this newest version.
