However, the language file is not complete yet so that I can't make a full translation for it.
Hope the author will add those lost strings into the language files.
Thanks.
Although I speak a number of languages, by far my knowledge of all the kindly submitted translations is insufficient. In case a translation string is unavailable in a certain language file, the original variable will show up. The same variable should be in the language file with its translation. If not, you would know your own language better than I do to translate it.
Another problem is, this plugin will also try to generate thumbnails for my math equation images which were output by mimiTeX plugin and made those images can't be displayed.
I also tested another famous plugin MultiThumb, MultiThumb can automatically ignore equation images.
I think the author of JUMultithumb should learn something from MultiThumb, if it is possible, please take over the MultiThumb code and continue it, because that project seems been abandoned by its author.
For the equation image issue, you also can add a new option to solve it. This option is: exclude images with "nothumbnail" CSS class name.
Thanks.
the only disadvantage is that the author did not add multi-language for it. Hope he will add a /language folder soon.
Thanks.
Language folder now added.
This plugin will save your bandwidth and make your page open faster. It is really a Must-Have!
I think you can make this component better by detecting the correct language file automatically.
Thanks to the author.
Finally, after the email exchange with the author, I found out how to modify those code. I think the author should include that link to the forum post in the extension description.
Though this is a good extension, I think modifying core files is not good.
This module offered such a possibility.
However, I hope the author can make this option more easier to use, for example let me choose which user group I want to show the module to, since I don't know PHP at all. I don't know how to use those PHP variables in the Help part of this module backend page.
Thanks.
Hi baijianpeng,
I just released version 1.5h which has just what you were asking for - a simplified way of making modules available only to guests or only to logged-in users. This is one of the most common uses for MetaMod and it made sense to give it a GUI.
Version 1.5h is now even easier to upgrade to - just install this version on top of the previous one, and it will keep all your old MetaMods in place, setup and all.
Hope you like it!
Regards, Stephen Brandon
Thanks to the author Joe.
I would like to see more template for this component. Such as, in the main page, show people photo thumbnails in the same line with their names.
Thank you.
I hope the author will add a new feature of presenting Random Articles from specified section(s) or categories.
Thanks.
Random selection is introduced in the latest version. Tx for the suggestion.
The author used the word Automatically when introducing this plugin. What is the meaning of Automatically? If a plugin needs manually edit CSS file and manually set the CSS class for the image, it shouldn't be called Automatically. Take a look at another plugin named Multithumb, that is real Automatically.
Sometimes people don't speak English natively, can make mistakes. However JoomSlide creates thumbnails automatically, but you need tag the image with "joomslide" in class option.
By other way, this can be a good new feature really, JoomSlide can process all the images automatically and to create thumbnails automatically, so will be added in the next version.
thank you for you review.
Two suggestions for improvement: 1. what is the use of first parameter "Plugin to execute" ? If it is not compulsory, just remove it. Because it will produce an EXTRA {something I entered} at frontend. 2. sometimes we need to limit the dimension of this module, for example, when playing a video file. So please add new parameters to control the size.
Thanks to the author!
User must input the Text and Title manually at backend. There is no field for URL, maybe you can input HTML directly to the textarea but I have no interest to test more.
Why not let this module extract content items from spesified Sections/Categories/Article IDs ? Add more parameter to show/hide: Title/author/date/IntroText/Image/Section/Category/Read More/More in the same Sec.Cate ...
At present, This module is useless for me. Hope the author can improve it better.
Now I have only one filter suggestion:
Please add two new parameters: Only show content from current Section/Category (Yes, No).
Thanks to the author.
But when I installed v0.7.5.2 on my Joomla! 1.5.8, the backend icons of this component can't show up. The reason is that my Joomla was installed in a subfolder to www root. And this component can't support Joomla in subdir.
Hope the author will fix this soon.
Thanks.
Is this a single-user blog tool? Then why you need an Author field to fill ? Do you think the Admin will forget his name? Why not just fetch the Admin name automatically?
Is this a multi-user blog? Then why I can't find a Write New Blog link at frontend?
What is the superiority of this software when compared with Joomla default content component? I think we can publish mini Blog articles with com_content too. If we need special blue frame around the article, we can do it by CSS. Why bother to install such a weird component?
BTW, hope the author can add some more features like fields selection, with or without password, and multi-language support. Thanks.
Hi baijianpeng,
I'm guessing your installation might be an upgrade or something other than a straight 1.5 version. The component simply looks at your registered globals to see what 'type' of user you are and if it's other than Super Administrator it says no.
You can change this by opening "admin.send-csv-list.php" which is in your "/administrator/components/com_send-csv-list/admin" directory and editing line 24...
$my->usertype != "Super Administrator"
..to whatever suits you.
Hope that helps, please post again if you have trouble.
Cheers, Alan
