WHY ?

This project start because of a challenge a joomler friend of mine posted in JUG Breizh on FB on February 16th 2021 The challenge was: Given an url structure like: /parent-category/subcat-a/article-1 /parent-category/subcat-a/article-2 /parent-category/subcat-c/article-7 How to make it work with urls like: /parent-category/article-1 /parent-category/article-2 /parent-category/article-7 In other words without the subcategory

WHAT ?

The answer to that delicious puzzle was custom router rules.

HOW ?

TLDR; Custom router rules injected via a system plugin onAfterInitialise event just right after Joomla! started "booting"

Hello Super Joomlers!

Just a little question: Would you find useful to you if you were able to install many different extensions from different developers all at once using drag-n-drop?

As of today Joomla! only allows one extension at the time using drag-n-drop.

I know that there are packages, but packages are from the same developer.

Waiting for your answers, feedback and suggestions.

Hello Super Joomlers!

Another idea popped in my head. It came from a user experience issue that I stumbled upon whan using menu links reorder in Joomla! 3 backend (I didn't tried yet on J4). Here is the problem : Be able to drag-n-drop the menu links to reorder them no matter their depth in the menu hierarchy. As of today we can just reorder the menu links of depth 0. Do you have the same user experience? If you do, does a solution to this precise problem would you be interested in a solution to this problem?

I am waiting for your answers, suggestions and feedback

Hello Super Joomlers!

Long time no see. Sorry about that. Here what I want to share with you today:

"package": "something"

In this case, "something" is the name corresponding to the npm package of this specific asset.   

That's it for now

Have a delightful day! Take care.
