Here is a look back at the Joomlatools talks during Joomladays Netherlands 2012 last 21-22 of April in Zeist.
Tom’s talk on templating with bootstrap and LESS received rave reviews from the attendees. Doing more with {less} now has new meaning. Tom demo’ed LESS, the dynamic stylesheet language together with Bootstrap, a website template framework from Twitter. Check out Tom’s demo and other resources he used during his talk.
Steven’s presentation on the magic of git for automating Joomla site deployments was a welcome addition to tips for worry-free Joomla administration. Say goodbye to FTP and hello to git. You can find Steven’s demo here.
Johan’s talk on Joomla in the Cloud gave an overview of the various cloud computing models used as solutions for deploying Joomla. Definitely check out the slides as there are some hidden gems in there.
Johan also talked about file and document management through the years in Joomla and he gave a sneak peak into how we at Joomlatools plans to innovate file and document management in the years to come with DOCman 2.0 and FILEman 1.0.
Innovation, not only in our software but in the tools and solutions we use day to day, is always high on our agenda. A review of the Joomladays NL event from Themepartner pointed out the value Joomlatools talks give to conferences.
At this presentation Johan spoke to us about solutions for deploying Joomla. What amazes me about presentations by Johan is that he always appears to be using tools and solutions that I have never heard of before. To me this highlights the value of conferences such as the Joomla!Days. Finding only one such solution or answer to a question you might have could save you minutes or even hours every week.
We very much enjoyed this year’s Joomladay. Perfectly organised with lots of great talks. To the organizers and attendees of the Dutch Joomladays 2012, thanks and see you next year!
It’s the Dutch Joomladays this weekend and Joomlatools has an interesting line-up of talks for the attendees.
Tom, Johan and Steven will be presenting and sharing the latest from Joomlatools HQ plus some Joomla site development tips.
Under the motto “Forget what you know”, Tom takes you into the wonderful world of Bootstrap from Twitter and LESS – the dynamic stylesheet language. Bootstrap is also being used for the development of the UI for Joomla 3.0.
Tom will explain various techniques and tricks in using Bootstrap. A must attend session for Joomla template developers.
There is so much buzz today about the ‘cloud’. What is this and does it have anything to do with Joomla? Can you have Joomla site hosting in the cloud? What solutions are there? How does that work? What does it cost? What are the advantages as compared to conventional hosting?
In this presentation Johan will take you on a journey into the wonderful world of the cloud.
For years, DOCman is one of the leading document and file management extensions for Joomla. DOCman 1.x has already been downloaded more than 2 million times! High time for a successor.
In the last 12 months, the team worked hard to develop DOCman 2.0, resulting in not just 1 but no less than 3 new extensions. Discover what’s new and coming for Joomlatools in 2012.
FTP is still the most common way to upload your site to your webserver. Did you know that there is an easier, faster and better way to do this?
In this presentation, Steven Rombauts takes a look at how you can deploy a Joomla site with Git. He will present different tools so you can discover how you can easily do it yourself.
For a fun, productive, informative, and innovative day, don’t miss the talks from the Joomlatools crew! See you on 21-22 of April for the Joomladays Netherlands!

Building Joomla extensions that just work is only part of what we do. Working with our users to get feedback and improve our extensions is what counts most.

Joomla has announced the immediate availability of Joomla 2.5. This new major version comes with a host of new features including new search functionality, multi-database support, and update notifications.
We are pleased to announce that DOCman 1.6.x and our upcoming FILEman 1.0 and LOGman 1.0 extensions are Joomla 2.5 ready!
Our team has been extensively testing the latest version of DOCman 1.6 since the early beta releases of Joomla 2.5. Results of the tests showed that DOCman is fully functional and compatible. Minor issues found have been reported to the Joomla development teams and fixed during the beta process.
Joomla 2.5 is a long term stability release (LTS) and will be supported until December 2013 by the Joomla project. Joomla 1.6 and 1.7 are short term releases (STR) and their support ends immediately after the release of a new version. (release cycle infographic)
At Joomlatools, we will support both long and short term releases for 3 more months after their end of life. This means that we will offer support for Joomla 1.7 until the 30th of April 2012.
This gives you the needed time to upgrade your sites to the latest version. If you are running a Joomla site on 1.6 or 1.7, we advice you to upgrade to Joomla 2.5 in the coming weeks. Moving from 1.7 to 2.5 can be done with the one-click upgrade within Joomla.

Since the beta release of FILEman end of December we have been working hard on adding a few more key features we are sure you will like. FILEman now comes with a built-in image gallery, support for file listings and we added the ability to remotely upload files.
Happy 2012! We are happy to announce the release of our brand new manual for DOCman 1.5 and 1.6. Both 40+ page manuals are now available for download at the Joomlatools Member Center.
The manual covers the installation and configuration of DOCman as well as information about the DOCman productivity pack. We have also included tips and tricks that can make your DOCman experience more productive.
We are constantly updating and upgrading our products and we would love to hear feedback from our club members. Send us an email or post in our forums.
