Joomla Components News

Great news in the Joomla CMS Community -
A new Release is out!

Joomla 1.5.10 security release is out today 

What's New?
RssFactory Pro 1.2.2
The new version of rss Factory PRO brings two new important features.
The first major feature is the ability to Import the RSS feeds to the Joomla
Content. Here you can set for each existing RSS feed the section and
category where it will be imported and also set the author and publishing
period.

The second major feature is the Archive System. The period of how long the
feed contents should be kept is admin configurable. Both new features are
extending and maximizing the SEO SEF abilities of a website. Importing the
feeds directly to the content will simplify the work of each webmaster,
providing always new and updated content on his site. The archive system
will provide for regular webpages the possiblity to be found again in a
search engine.

Regular websites are not so often indexed by the search engines machines
and an archive system is providing the necessary requirements, that the
indexed pages are still available on your site and any search result will
lead to a valid page. They hope that the new version will increase the
productivity of the sites and the whole Joomla Community will benefit
from it.

Community Components - replacements for the well known "Community Builder"
Since the days of Mambo - Joomlapolis Community Builder (in those times it
was Mambojoe's community builder) - was the only way to enhance the scarce
profile of  Mambo/Joomla. CB is now one of the most popular Joomla extension
in Extensions Directory and an Editor Pick(one of the few picks there are).

Althou there is nothing wrong with Joomlapolis Extension, with time appeared
some interesting alternatives to it. There are several Free, some
Commercial and some of them even Encrypted (Joobi). We analysed two free
Extensions that look very promising (and are both now in Beta stage)
