I thought nothing could surprise me on the subject comments functionality for Joomla 2.5 --- but I was way wrong! I am pleased to have discovered a wonderful new extension called Komento. It is a product of StackIdeas, the team behind the popular blog component, EasyBlog.

Of course, almost all of us recommend to install the K2 component. This is generally a very good solution, but at the same time it is also a very complex and, for many people, a complicated extension to use.

The most awaited JomSocial 2.6 "Ferringhi" has been released. This newest iteration has gone through almost 4 months of Alpha, Beta and RC (Release Candidate) testing phases to bring the most rock-solid JomSocial release ever.

I'm so happy to inform you that expected, the next version of VirtueMart went through tonight's official launch. Component VM 2.0.2 (Official Update) is finally compatible with Joomla! 2.5 and contains many new features!

Therefore, it was recently released the newest version of the component, I decided to compare two versions of the K2 component of the latest edition of Joomla 1.7. K2 is the popular (for several years) powerful content extension with CCK-like features.

Sitemaps (XML files) are a way to tell Google about pages on your site we might not otherwise discover. Xmap is a powerful site map generator component for Joomla 1.7.

When I first time show PredWeb Joomla! Photo Editor I was in shock. I never imagined so advanced graphical editor for this CMS.
