Knowing what’s happening on your site and what other people are doing is an essential part of web administration and the social web. Whether you’re alone or working with a team of web administrators, writers and editors, having the ability to record and view their activities in your site or across sites is very useful.
Joomlatools is bringing Activity Streams to your Joomla sites through LOGman. If you use Facebook, you should have a general idea of what Activity Streams are. Knowing what you and others have done is very helpful. It shows you the progress of whatever project you’re working on, and it helps boost the productivity of people.
LOGman is capable of logging all the actions of our Joomlatools extensions. For example, LOGman can log everything that is happening in FILEman 1.0 and the upcoming DOCman 2.0.
We also added support for some of Joomla’s core components. You can log events from content (add/edit) and users (add/edit/delete/login/logout). As an extra treat, LOGman can also log add and edit actions for DOCman 1.x. So even DOCman 1.x users can make direct use of LOGman.
We are happy to announce the immediate availability of DOCman 1.5.10 and DOCman 1.4.2!
During the recent holidays, a medium level vulnerability was discovered in DOCman. We found a query that wasn’t being properly escaped and could lead to an SQL Injection. There is no known exploit for this vulnerability and it would be very difficult to create one because there are other security measures in place.
At Joomlatools we are fanatic about security and even if DOCman 1.5.9 has recently been released, we recommend upgrading to 1.5.10 just to be on the safe side.
This vulnerability affects all versions of DOCman prior to 1.5.10. So if you’re using 1.5.9 or older, please upgrade to 1.5.10. If you’re using 1.4.1 or older, please upgrade to 1.4.2.
I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of DOCman 1.5.9. This is a maintenance release which solves some tricky bugs and many minor annoyances.
As always those whom purchased DOCman 1.5 will receive an email with download information to the update package and those whom have not purchased it yet can head over to the Joomlatools store and do so right now!
You may have encountered strange behaviors when assigning modules to DOCman menu items. When you click links from DOCman or its modules, the modules you assigned to DOCman may not appear. That’s because DOCman doesn’t generate the correct Itemid on URLs. This was a major bug that’s fixed now.
This bug also caused other problems related to SEF and menu permissions. If you encountered issues like these, this release just fixed it.
