It is only natural then that JCal Pro ships with two Community Builder plugins so that users can view their private events and private calendars right in their Community Builder profile. Tue, 23 Feb 2010 14:49:43 +0100 http://dev.anything-digital.com/Blog/Promotions/Developers-get-your-Flex-for-free.html Due to the overwhelming interest we've received over the holidays, we've added the Flex module for JCal Pro (demo (http://www.thejoomlacalendar.com/Plugins-Modules/the-flex-module-all-the-muscle-you-need.html)) to the Developer Special subscriptions at no added charge.

Like any good content management system or blog, Joomla protects any e-mail addresses in your site content by using javascript to encode the emails in source code of your site. This prevent the harvesters from recognizing them as an e-mail address but allows the end-user to click the e-mail address on your site and trigger your default mail client to start composing a new message with the 'To:' field pre-populated.

Mon, 07 Sep 2009 16:09:41 +0100 http://dev.anything-digital.com/Blog/Big-announcements-on-the-way-for-Anything-Dgital.html It's an exciting time to be in the development labs here at Anything Digital. We've been actively recruiting new folks for our various extensions and services, and as a result many things are happening all at once. I don't want to spoil your Labor Day surprise (at least for our American clients and followers), but keep your eye on this blog and our twitter account (http://twitter.com/jcalpro) for some big announcements next week. Fri, 04 Sep 2009 11:34:46 +0100 http://dev.anything-digital.com/Blog/Forum-posting-now-available-to-subscribers.html As many of you have noticed, we have been monitoring and moderating the forums very closely over the last few months. Unfortunately, the volume of posts on the forum has increased steadily with our increased activity. As such, we are spending less and less time fixing the code as we devote time to the forum. Wed, 02 Sep 2009 17:21:11 +0100 http://dev.anything-digital.com/Blog/Does-Joomla-really-need-more-libraries.html In simpler times, the vast majority of Joomla extensions simply installed using the Joomla installer and operated as expected ‘out-of-the-box’. However, as Joomla has become more sophisticated, it appears that developers are starting to release their own libraries/frameworks that run inside Joomla, and are required for their extensions to operate. Thu, 27 Aug 2009 12:26:13 +0100 http://dev.anything-digital.com/Blog/JCal-Pro-2.1-Final-is-now-available.html Today we have released build 308 of JCal Pro 2.1. This maintenance release addresses mostly minor bugs (index.php?option=com_smf Itemid=71 lang=en topic=4691.0) and one moderate bug for sh404SEF users. Although no security issues required attention in this release, we recommend that all users upgrade to this version. JCP 2 was a milestone for the JCal project and was released for public beta testing (index.php?option=com_smf Itemid=71 lang=en topic=3626.0) on 15-Dec-2008 and rapidly stabilized. Mon, 20 Jul 2009 10:08:25 +0100 http://dev.anything-digital.com/Blog/is-that-your-web-site-i-smell.html With the expansion of so much user-generated content these days, the MIME sniffing feature of Internet Explorer has actually become a serious liability as users have increasing access to placing files (and images in particular) on web servers. Like most CMSes these days, Joomla can be susceptible to this type of vulnerability. Read on for more details on securing Joomla from MIME sniffing vulnerbilities. Wed, 17 Jun 2009 23:47:15 +0100 http://dev.anything-digital.com/Blog/Announcing-the-release-of-JCal-Pro-2-stable.html We are happy and proud to announce that the JCal Pro 2 codebase is now stabilized. JCP2.1 (build 273) and the associated premium themes have all been updated and are available in the download area (index.php?option=com_docman Itemid=53 lang=en).The changelog is also available (index.php?option=com_smf Itemid=71 lang=en topic=4262.msg15300). I want to thank the community for all their help finding (and fixing) bugs, and of course our development team here at Anything Digital: MRJIT, septic22 and shumisha. Those guys ROCK!
