An email and literally minutes later I had a response and assistance and the problem was solved.
Sometimes I set up websites with article content already in place for a client. It isn't days before I am having to find the article in the backups and restore it after the formatting and layouts are accidentally overwritten by the client.
To prevent this, I would teach customers to always make copies of articles before editing them. The version control feature alone in this component is priceless and well worth the price. An excellent 2-for-1 offer!
With this component, I didn't even have to unzip the modules and plugins from the jomsocial package...it updated all 15 modules and all 27 plugins in less than 30 seconds!
Now my head is spinning with ideas on updating 24 other joomla sites with standard module/plugin updates. I can create one upload "package" and update all my clients' sites.
This is a great utility. I'm surprised its not in the base Joomla system.
If you could remote install via http:// like in the traditional installer, that would be great add-on!
Thank you!
Hi,
Thank you very much for your kind words. I am glad that you decided to share how you use Multi Install and I am sure that Jomsocial users will find your comment helpful.
I have taken on board your suggestion and have since added the option to install from a URL to version 1.0.2.
Kind Regards,
Chris
This app was the easiest to configure--even the more complicated option to brand your own Facebook API was well documented and allows for you to re-brand your service so when the post is made to Facebook, you get the post...via YOUR-APP so this is a great tool for developers that provide this as a service to their clients.
Support: I had a glitch and posted on the forum and received a quick response. A short interaction later on the forums (almost in real-time!) he identified the problem.
For anyone who wants to eliminate the need to re-port or use 3rd party applications like Hootsuite, etc. this component is a must.
There are no modifications to the basic Joomla! article content system, and the plugin can be configured to read tags and direct to specific twitter or facebook channels accordingly. The K2 plugin makes this compatible with one of the best CCK options as well.
I like the fact that, at least with the Tilt viewer, that we can opt to purchase the commercial versions of some of the gallery components. This helps to support the technology as well as give us an option to tie together everything in a professional presentation.
I would like to be able to opt-in with the author to purchase a non-branded solution for the overall Ozio component. You do have to dance a little jig to try and get the layout where the fixed tag line is just right.
I would also like to see some options with non-flash alternatives in case the visitor is on a mobile device (can you say iPhone?) that doesn't support flash. I have worked around this, but it may be a simple parameter that could be programmed to test for a flash capable browser and opt for a different non-flash display.
