EasyDiscuss version 3.2 is now available for download.
In this version, we've added superior integration with EasySocial, our latest social networking extension for Joomla, and it is compatible with Joomla 3.2 now.
Starting your own forums or something like StackOverflow in your own Joomla site is now possible for websites built in Joomla 2.5, 3.0 and 3.2. To upgrade your EasyDiscuss, just download and overwrite the current version in your site. Or if you want it all clean, you can safely uninstall EasyDiscuss and install afresh with this new version.
Activities in EasyDiscuss such as new questions, replies, comments, likes, etc are now viewable in EasySocial's activity stream. Community managers have the option to enable/disable the desired posts to appear in the stream. Profiles are shared in between EasyDiscuss and EasySocial for easier interactions and user access.
A new minimalist theme is also bundled in this version of EasyDiscuss. This theme is meant to be simple so that frontend developers and Joomla template fans can easily customize the styles without heavy code tweaking.
Other minor enhancements include:

Feathers (GitHub: feathersjs / feathers, License: MIT, npm: feathers), sent in by Matthew Phillips, is an Express-based web framework for creating RESTful services that use Socket.IO.
Because it’s based on Express, you can use existing Connect middleware. That means you could drop in an authentication module like everyauth, and your preferred client-side framework (like Backbone.js or AngularJS), and then use the Feathers conventions for CRUD-style server-side code and Socket.IO events.
Matthew wrote a glowing email about it – he’s been using it for client project. I had a look at the source, and it’s actually pretty lightweight: it’s basically based around events that bridge between Express routes and Socket.IO.
The main author, David Luecke, has built it with Rubberduck and Uberproto, two of his other modules. Uberproto is basically inheritance sugar, and Rubberduck allows methods to be wrapped with events.
Angular Snap.js (GitHub: jtrussell / angular-snap.js, License: MIT) by Justin Russell is a Snap.js directive for AngularJS. Snap.js makes mobile-style “shelf” layouts a lot easier, and is intuitive to use – touch gestures work as expected, and click-dragging the mouse opens the drawer as well.
The directive can be used as an attribute, or event an element:
<div snap-drawer>
<p>I'm a drawer! I maybe I've got some sweet navigation links.</p>
</div>
<snap-drawer>
<p>I'm a drawer! I maybe I've got some sweet navigation links.</p>
</snap-drawer>
File-size.js (GitHub: Nijikokun / file-size, License: MIT, npm: file-size) by Nijiko Yonskai is a module for generating human-readable file sizes. For example, filesize(186457865).to('MB')
returns 177.82
.
It supports various specifications, including JEDEC and IEC, and it works in browsers and Node.

The Joomla! Project and Community is excited to announce the release of the Joomla Framework! The Joomla Framework is a major step forward in the evolution of the Joomla! Project. Taking advantage of years of experience in creating the Joomla! CMS and later the Joomla! Platform, the development team has extracted and refactored many of the essential functions necessary to create, manage and deploy a modern PHP web application and compiled them into a library of modular packages that can be easily mixed and matched with other PHP frameworks and packages using Composer for dependency management.
This step enables two major areas of growth for the Joomla! project:
First, it makes several packages, inspired by the demanding needs of the Joomla! CMS, available to the larger PHP developer community, paving the way to build new web applications and services. These packages are distributed via Packagist.org for use with Composer and can be combined with packages from other best-of-breed PHP frameworks such as Symfony, Zend, and Laravel. Web Applications built on a server with the Joomla! Framework will have the advantage of creating, managing and authenticating user accounts; retrieving, managing and displaying content retrieved from one or more databases; and taking advantage of many social media integration features. For example, the social media packages for Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, and Twitter are well executed. They have a common API that interacts with each of the services, and offers good coverage of each service’s program interface.
Second, it allows a future version of the Joomla! CMS to be built upon this Framework and thereby benefit from the broader base of PHP developers that adopt and can contribute back to the Framework, as well as the dependency management features of Composer. The Framework will bring new rapid development tools to CMS extension developers that will allow them to create and maintain more sustainable and robust extensions.
Together these areas of growth combine to increase the development velocity of the Joomla! project and facilitates project collaboration and growth for the Open Source community as a whole.
What does this mean for the typical user of the Joomla! CMS for their website? Not much at this moment as the Framework is a toolkit for software designers and developers. Downloading the Framework will do nothing to enhance your current Joomla! website. It is, however, a great promise of things to come for future versions of the Joomla! CMS.
A new era of rapid web application development is ahead and the many lightweight, modular and decoupled packages within the Joomla Framework positions the Joomla! Project to be an even more prominent leader in the larger community of Open Source PHP solution developers....
Much of the work we put into JomSocial 3.1 went into the backend. We created a brand new admin and added a ton of new features. But we also improved the front end. We received a lot of requests and we’ve managed to add a whole bunch of the:
We didn’t get a chance to enable the repositioning of cover photos in JomSocial 3.0. It was the top request for the next update. It’s there now.
