c SocialConnect By www.joomlaworks.net Published On :: Wed, 23 Jan 2013 16:06:29 +0200 SocialConnect is the only Joomla extension that allows you to integrate your Joomla site with social networks and identity providers for user authentication, posting content directly to social networks and 3rd-party comment system integration. Features Let your users register to your website with their social profile from Facebook, Twitter, Google, LinkedIn, Github, WordPress.com, Microsoft (Outlook.com, Hotmail, SkyDrive, Windows Live, Windows Phone & Xbox Live), Amazon, Disqus, Foursquare, Instagram, StackExchange, SoundCloud & Tumblr. AutoPost to Facebook, Twitter & LinkedIn right from the Joomla article or K2 item edit forms! Add Facebook Open Graph and Twitter Card tags on each K2 item or Joomla article to make your content even more social media ready. Enable Disqus or Facebook comments on your K2 items, Joomla articles, Virtuemart or RedShop product pages. Avatars for your users from their social profile, K2 or Gravatar.com Better login and registration pages, with multiple layouts to choose from. Users also get a customizable landing page after login. Easily check how many concurrent users browse your site and see who's logged into your site and from which social network. Easy to configure with a simple, yet elegant "status" dashboard in Joomla's backend. Use the SocialConnect Twitter module to display one ore more streams of tweets for any Twitter account & style it the way you want, unlike the official Twitter widget which is too "design restrictive" when it comes to embedding. Beautiful & customizable frontend SocialConnect comes with a set of predefined layouts to use right out of the box - or customize anyway you like. Consistency between the component & module layouts make your user "not think" and thus easier to engage with your e-shop, forum, community or other type of site that utilizes user engagement. Check out the available component and module layouts below for more. NextPrev Remember that ugly login page in Joomla? Now you can forget about it. A simple layout that can easily fit any Joomla template design - distinct blocks for the available user actions. Don't make your user think. Make it easy for them to join your site. The layout you see here is one of the 3 bundled with SocialConnect. The second layout gives more focus to the registration process. Like the first layout, it allows you to have an optional descriptive text communicating to your users why they should sign up/register to your website. The 3rd layout is a variation of the first one and it's ideal for single-column layouts. The optional welcome text in on the left of the sign-in block, while registration is at the bottom. Perfect for minimal designs or for clear focus on the registration/sign-in process. Like the component, the SocialConnect module comes with 2 layouts as well. A compact layout that reveals the login/registration actions for your user, which can easily fit on your site's header or toolbar. The official K2 website uses the compact layout at the top-right. ...And an "expanded" layout, ideal for using SocialConnect in the sidebar of your Joomla e-shop or forum. The layout is generic enough to easily fit any design. Maintaining a consistent login block across your site will not make your user wonder "where" they login when browsing through the pages of your site. Integrates with all the major social networks Post to Facebook, Twitter & LinkedIn right from the Joomla backend Posting to Facebook, Twitter & LinkedIn just got easier. No need to use an external paid service like HootSuite or Buffer to cross-post your content to these social networks. No need to bother managing users for such services. Just have your content authors post directly from the Joomla article or K2 item edit forms directly to your social media accounts in Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn. It's that simple! NextPrev Share panelSelect the networks you want to share to and optionally append some custom text. You can switch to the horizontal layout of the sharing panel, anytime.

c AllVideos v5.0.0 released - now with web-native media playback By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Wed, 31 Jul 2019 18:25:32 +0300 We have just released a major update to AllVideos, version 5.0.0, for Joomla versions 1.5 to 3.x.It introduces web-native media playback with no 3rd party dependencies. Here's what's been added or changed in this new release of AllVideos: AllVideos now supports web-native media only (for self-hosted files) and uses browser-native playback controls, without a single 3rd party dependency. AllVideos will now load a single CSS file for its template and a single JS file to assist in self-hosted media playback - a total of less than 7KBs. As such, both Clappr and JW Player have been removed from AllVideos, as well as any helper JS files that were previously utilized for media playback (e.g. for QuickTime). Modern media playback includes video and audio formats like H.264/MPEG-4 (.mp4/.m4v/.m4a), WebM (.webm), Ogg Theora Vorbis (.ogg/.ogv/.oga), MP3 (.mp3), WAVE PCM (.wav) & FLAC (.flac). AllVideos will also playback .avi and .mkv files as they are used as container formats for H.264/MPEG-4 most of the times. Every other format that was previously supported by AllVideos (e.g. Flash Video, QuickTime or Windows Media), will now appear as a link to download the file as browsers no longer support playback directly or require plugin activation to do so. By utilizing modern media playback only, we ensure that AllVideos can be used as your go-to solution for media embedding across any device. By using web-native media formats in AllVideos, we can now do cool stuff like auto-generate poster/preview images for videos, without the need for server-side software (like FFMPEG). If you already uploaded your own poster/preview images, well, don't worry as they will still take precedence over the auto-generated ones. Added support for custom poster/preview images for both video and audio utilizing the .webp format. This means you can now use all 4 web-native image formats for previews (jpg/png/gif/webp). For added fun, try using animated GIFs as your media preview :) Support for small 3rd party video providers has been dropped, as most are now either defunct or using a service like YouTube for serving content (e.g. Funny or Die or GodTube). This means that AllVideos will now support only the 6 major media providers: YouTube, Vimeo, DailyMotion, Facebook (videos), Flickr (videos) and SoundCloud. All 3 templates in AllVideos have been re-configured and tested across all device types. The "Responsive" template is of course still the default template when you install AllVideos for the first time. A new option has been added that allows you to limit the maximum width responsive media can occupy. This will come handy with sites that extend beyond 1200px in width as media can be limited to a percentage of the page's width or to a fixed pixel size (e.g. no more than 1000px width for media playback). You can now allow your visitors to directly download a self-hosted video file (previously possible for audio files only). The options have been significantly simplified with the removal of Clappr & JW Player as well as the removal of QuickTime support. AllVideos continues to be PHP 5 to 7 compatible, for Joomla 1.5 to 3.x. There is really no reason to ditch support for PHP 5 and/or Joomla 1.5/2.5 when it's easy to maintain support for them. Neither security nor performance are sacrificed either way. DEMO The JoomlaWorks demo site has been updated to use the latest AllVideos release.

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).

c SocialConnect v1.10.0 released By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Tue, 07 Jan 2020 18:12:42 +0200 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.

c Getting Snowflake (the open source graphical SSH/SFTP client) to run on macOS By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Wed, 12 Feb 2020 11:58:20 +0200 I don't usually write similar blog posts, but I've been really enjoying Snowflake recently. What's Snowflake you ask? Well, it's a new open source graphical SSH/SFTP client which makes working with remote servers a breeze. It works like Panic's Coda when it comes to managing content on remote servers, e.g. browse files and have a terminal open at the same time. But most importantly, it's cross-platform. And I'd like to share with everyone how to easily get it to run on macOS. At the time, Snowflake's developer has only released binaries for Windows and Debian/Ubuntu with a macOS version planned for the future. However, since the app is based on Java, the developer also provides Snowflake as a .jar file which we can run anywhere, including macOS. So here are the steps to get Snowflake to work on your Mac: Step 1 Uninstall that outdated Java version on your Mac. Ironically the best guide is on Java.com, so follow it to the letter: https://www.java.com/en/download/help/mac_uninstall_java.xml Step 2 If you currently go to Java.com, the available release for macOS is pretty outdated. And apparently it relates to recent changes in Java's licensing by Oracle. So how do you get the most recent Java release for macOS? Well, you can either signup for an account at Oracle.com (the looooong, hard way) or just grab a ready-made binary for macOS, provided by AdoptOpenJDK (the easy way). AdoptOpenJDK is a new community effort (backed by the likes of Red Hat/IBM, Amazon, Microsoft to name a few) to create ready-to-install & cross-platform binaries from OpenJDK, the open source implementation of the Java platform. You can download the most recent runtime for Java from AdoptOpenJDK (version 13 at the time of writing) here: https://adoptopenjdk.net/?variant=openjdk13&jvmVariant=hotspot (it's a .pkg file to install) Step 3 After you install the related .pkg file, it's time to download Snowflake. Head over to https://github.com/subhra74/snowflake/releases and grab the .jar file from the latest release available (v1.0.4 at the time of writing - https://github.com/subhra74/snowflake/releases/download/v1.0.4/snowflake.jar). Now we'll make a shortcut to easily launch Snowflake. Create a folder called "Applications" (if it doesn't already exist) in your home directory and place the snowflake.jar file in there. Then open up your terminal and do: chmod +x ~/Applications/snowflake.jarln -s ~/Applications/snowflake.jar /Applications/Snowflake.app That's it. You'll now find "Snowflake" in your Mac's apps and you can easily launch the app from there, or just drag and drop its icon to your Mac's dock. (If you get a security warning when you open the app the first time, it's because the app is not signed by Apple. Just go to Preferences and then "Security & Privacy" and you should see the option to allow the app to launch always.) Full Article Blog
