Joomla! también habla español!
Esta ha sido una semana intensa para la comunidad hispanohablante. Se formó un grupo en español vía Skype y de inmediato nos propusimos un objetivo en común: Lograr, que a través de los canales sociales de Joomla!, se publicara contenido en nuestro idioma.
Ese objetivo dió el paso inicial para que se comenzara a publicar contenido en español en la Joomla! Community Magazine, el que luego sería informado a través de los canales sociales de Joomla! a toda la comunidad.
There was some big news this week in Joomla! CMS development with the merging of massive rewriting of queries. Why? And why rewrite? Because this makes it possible to run the Joomla! CMS on many different databases, not just MySQL and MySQLi as in the past.
As people who follow these things know, for many years there has been a goal to make Joomla! “database agnostic” which is to say to allow Joomla to run on any database. For a while the Platform has had drivers for Microsoft databases SQLSrv and SQLAzure . There are also pull requests (that is, requests to merge code into the platform) on Postgresql, Oracle, SQLite and PDO drivers. Great work by Gabriele Pongelli (Postgres), Sudhi Seshachala and the team at Hoodooku (Microsoft databases) and Omar Ramos (Oracle, SQLite and PDO). If you want to work on a driver for another database (db2 anyone? Drizzle?) you can just fork the platform and go for it!
Version 11.3 of the Platform has just been merged into the CMS and we are down to the last few weeks before 2.5!
We plan to release Version 2.5 beta on or before December 20th.
To make this schedule, we have until December 12th to propose and test new features.
1. Please test the present state of the CMS with your favorite extensions and report any bug on the Tracker.
TEST: The CMS can be downloaded from https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/downloads (Not for production sites!)
REPORT ISSUES: Please post on the tracker http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker/?action=TrackerItemBrowse&tracker_id=8103
2. Please test the New Features (and propose some with code attached if you want):
TEST: http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker/?action=TrackerItemBrowse&tracker_id=8549
Specially look at those with Status "Pending" when testing
One does not need to be a geek or PHP guru to test the proposed patches. And your efforts will really help in getting your favorite CMS in good shape for 2.5!
As many of you know, version 2.5 is the long-term-support release that ends the 1.6/1.7/2.5 series.
As such, the update to 2.5 will be seamless and will be handled exactly the same as the update from 1.6 to 1.7 or 1.7.2 to 1.7.3.
It is expected that all extensions should work without changes for version 2.5. However, extension developers should test their programs to make sure.
We hope to get some great new features into version 2.5, but we need the community to help with the process. Thanks!
Mexico City is, by some counts, the second largest city in the world. Over 18 million people live in the Distrito Federal (Federal District) that forms the city.
How has government of Mexico City decided to keep in touch with those millions of citizens? Joomla. http://www.df.gob.mx now runs on Joomla 1.7 (the name D.F. is short for Distrito Federal and is how Mexicans normally refer to the city).
In addition to Mexico City, many other Mexican government websites run on Joomla including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Palacio Nacional.
These Mexican sites are part of a trend. Joomla has a good claim to be the most popular way that governments build websites. You can find nearly 3000 more examples at http://joomlagov.info.
Organized by AlexRed, Ste and Gegè, the admins of joomla.it , and hosted at the prestigious hall of the Palace of Congresses of Florence’s expo, the conference was followed by more than 1200 people, from all Italy's regions, throughout the day.
Many followed the live streaming feed of the conference, with peaks of 350 concurrent users and a total of 9000 unique hits over the whole day.
Photos and the videos of the event are available on the Joomladay.it site (http://www.joomladay.it ).
We are announcing a Joomla! Pizza Bugs and Fun 2011 event scheduled for Saturday, December 10, 2011. The event is global for virtual participants with local venues where ever they are organized. The official start time is 9am in each time zone. Help us prepare Joomla! 2.5 for release early in January 2012!
1.7.3 is introducing quite a few improvements concerning multilanguage and languages in general.
1. In 1.7.1 was introduced the new Multilanguage Status Module: http://community.joomla.org/blogs/community/1501-171-new-multilanguage-status-module.html
In 1.7.3, a necessary improvement is implemented: checking the status of the Contacts linked to an Author, as it is necessary to create a unique contact per author and tagged to 'All' languages OR one contact per published Content Language.
If an error occurs, a message is added in the modal with the user name concerned (Thanks Marc Studer and Christophe Demko):
2. It is now possible to customize the Site Name depending on the Content Language displayed.
A new parameter has been created in Extensions=>Language Manager=>Content tab=>Edit a Content Language:
3. By enabling a parameter when editing the Language filter plugin, users will at last get a new feature that has been expected for long:
the Content Language prefix will not be used anymore in the url for the Site default language when SEF is on!
(Thanks to all who participated in trying to patch this —See: http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=25037 — and to Christophe Demko who solved it.)
Extensions=>Plugin Manager=>Filter by System=>Edit System - Language Filter
Front-end result:
4. The batch processing in various Managers in back-end now includes a Language field.
It is now possible to batch-change language for ticked items, as well as batch-copy including Language change to another Menu (in Menu Manager) or another Category (Thanks Michael Babker). We hope to also include Menu Associations in this process for 2.5 
.
1. Global Configuration now includes a default Offline Message per Language pack.
If this option is chosen, the offline message will be customized depending on the site language displayed.
It is always possible to override this value by using an xx-XX.override.ini ( See http://docs.joomla.org/International_Enhancements_for_Version_1.6#Language_String_Overrides )
2. The Administrator Help menu may now propose different forums to link to, depending on Language.
A registered language pack may propose a link to the Official Language sub-forum on forum.joomla.org. Custom distributions may propose links to their own external Community Forum by adding in their customized sample data the said link.
Users may decide of their preferred help forum.
Module Manager=>Filter by Administrator=>Edit Admin Menu
3. A new column has been added in the Installed Languages Managers to display the Language tag (en-GB, fr-FR, it-IT, etc.)
Thanks again to all who participated in implementing these improvements and do not forget to upgrade to 1.7.3 !
http://www.joomla.org/announcements/release-news/5392-joomla-173-released.html
And last but not least, we do now have an official multilanguage demo site (now updated to 1.7.3) where users can log in back-end to make sure they structure their site correctly:
See: http://multilingual-joomla-demo.cloudaccess.net/
During the last year we've shared some hard numbers behind Joomla's growth. We saw that Joomla.org has grown 50% in 2 years and also that there were now 1/2 million forum users, 25 million Joomlacode downloads of Joomla and over 8000 extensions on the JED.
This weekend marks another important milestone: 2011 will be the busiest year ever for Joomla!Days.
The community have a done a great job listing all over the Joomla!Days that have taken place: http://docs.joomla.org/Joomla!Days. The previous high was 23 events in 2009. This year there have been 21 events already and four more are planned for this week alone:
It's worth taking a moment to thank all of the organizers who have made all of the previous 100+ events possible.
The Dutch community deserves a mention: every year they've run a Joomla!Day once and sometimes even twice.
Also, welcome to the newcomers in 2011: Chile, Algeria, Malaysia, Greece, Chicago, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Milwaukee, Israel.
We hope to see all of you at a Joomla!Day in 2012. If you think you can help us hold even more events next year, the Joomla community has a great guide on how to get started.
Thanks to the platinum sponsor Seblod, creator of a new CCK for Joomla!, we were able to host a dinner party on Friday night for 50 of our sponsors, speakers, volunteers, and international guests. The wonderful staff at House of Brews made our event quite memorable. It was exciting to have so much Joomla! talent in one room - core team, OSM board members, major component developers, hosting companies, and grateful end users mingled as the excitement level grew for the coming weekend events.
Search is a central function for any content management system, and the Development Working Group has been working in a Github repository on making search be super powered in Joomla! 2.5. Michael Babker has taken the lead in organizing this along with Chris Davenport. So far six people have contributed code. The original code for Finder in Joomla! 1.5 was done by Rob Schley, Louis Landry and Andrew Eddie and distributed by JXtended.
I’ve heard Rob say at several Joomla! Days that Finder is the favorite of the extensions he has worked on, so I asked him why that is.
October is going to be an incredible Joomla! Month, there are so many Joomla events--4 Joomla Days on 4 continents by my count. I wish I could go to all of them, but I'm really excited about the one I do get to go to Joomla Day and Joomla Dev Day New York which is really three full days of Joomla, October 21-23. It will be an amazing event for developers and people who want to start learning Joomla! Development. Multilanguage in 1.7.x is getting more and more popular. (See improvements vs 1.6: http://community.joomla.org/blogs/community/1468-multilang-in-17-whats-new.html ) Normally, we should not introduce new features in a point release. A little history about this module. Originally, some code was created by Christophe Demko as Notices/Errors when logging in back-end. This was heaviily depending on sessions checks in order to not display the errors for each page in the Administrator interface.. 1.7.1 is released, do not forget to update! It contains many other improvements and bug/fixes. Sneak a Peek at what we have been working on. Rev up your engine and let your mind wander into the land of Joomla Templates. There are many opportunities waiting for you. Comments and discussions Here http://people.joomla.org/groups/viewdiscussion/1337-sneak-a-peek.html?groupid=713 Sandra On September 1st Joomla celebrated its 6th birthday. As part of the celebrations we asked you to tell us "Why does Joomla rock?" on Twitter and Facebook. We also promised to blog your best answers. So, why does Joomla rock? Here are over 40 of your replies. Oh, and if you haven't done so already, don't forget to follow us on Twitter or Facebook. Do you have a feature that you’d like to see in Joomla? Do you have an interest in a specific area that you think needs work? Think about joining or starting a Production Working Group on that topic. These working groups are led by community members and have regular contact with the Production Leadership Team. This is a good way for people to work together to create code that has a good chance of getting into core. To comment or post feedback on this blog click here. An important part of the Joomla Community, the Vulnerable Extensions List team is looking for new members who can: Discussion at http://people.joomla.org/groups/viewdiscussion/1321-the-vel-team-is-looking-for-new-members.html?groupid=713 On September 1st, 2005 the Joomla name was unveiled for the first time. On September 1st, 2005 many of us started an exciting journey and we're delighted that you've joined us along the way. Last year on this day we said a huge "Thank You!" to everyone involved in the project. This year we're going to briefly look back at where we've been. Joomla is still growing and thriving. In the last month alone we passed three important milestones: Jaguar is a world-famous brand of British luxury cars. Their cars are used by the British Royal Family and have appeared in hundreds of movies. If you missed the happy twittering, last week at the Joomla! Day Chicago there was a spontaneous gathering of developers--yes, that includes you Ryan Ozimek--shut up in a room having a great time writing platform applications. As Nicholas Dionysopoulos said to me “I guess that will put an end to the incessant "why did we have to separate the platform from the CMS" question. To be honest, I had the same question myself, until Joomla! Day Chicago and the awesome (and immensely fun and productive) Joomla! Platform session :)” Nick already even proposed a CLI application to include in the core of the CMS. What exactly is a “Platform Application”? Well you already know three of them: the Joomla! CMS, the Joomla! CMS Administratror, and the Joomla! CMS Installer. Ok, so what more could anyone possibly need? In truth the sky is the limit. The Joomla! Platform can be used to build all kinds of PHP applications, some of which may work with the CMS and some of which are totally separate. Building a simple platform application is even easier than building a simple module. In fact, you can do it in just one file. Since JDay Austin will take place in one movie theater for 8 hours, we had to get creative with our presentation method. The normal workshop approach of multiple rooms with multiple tracks wouldn't work in a theater. Instead we opted to put well-known Joomla speakers in teams of two. Each team of two would represent a different Joomla profession. These teams will present on how to build a Joomla site from beginning to end, from soup to nuts, all on one big movie screen. The back-to-back teams of two solved the format issue, but one question remained: What kind of site would we build? We have some of the absolute best Joomla teachers, contractors, designers and developers in the industry. Should we waste all that effort and talent on some fake company and site? No, that wouldn't be right. Instead we decided that a local non-profit would be much more deserving. A contest was held to nominate the most deserving, mostly with applications from members of the Austin JUG. In the end we decided that Minis and Friends was the perfect candidate. Everything in their site screamed the need for Joomla (the site even somewhat resembles the milkyway template even though it's not a Joomla site). For those in the States, this truly feels like the Joomla version of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" where a lucky/needy family is selected and a team builds a fantastic home for them. I challenge you to visit the Minis and Friends website and not get a little emotional, and want to lend a helping hand. The Joomla Day Austin team of speakers is second to none. Working to help a deserving non-profit is the most rewarding aspect, but working with this team is definitely second-most rewarding: Last, but certainly not least we'll have closing comments by Ryan Ozimek & John Coonen. We're currently in the re-design process, but you can be certain that the final outcome will be a wonderfully built Joomla site. I'm personally working on my design entry, which will go head-to-head with Andy's design :) Giving like this is exactly what Joomla is all about. When you put the world into perspective it's about people and helping, not small irritations in our beloved CMS. #jpositiv

But multilanguage is dealing with so many factors that it was necessary to help users as soon as possible to check the status of all these variables.
With this in mind, a new module is added in 1.7.1.
Its name is mod_multilangstatus.
It is not published per default . One has to publish it manually.
It is designed to be displayed in the Administrator status bar. Clicking on its icon/name will pop up a modal window with errors –if any– and status of the most important items concerned.
If published when using a mono-language site, the modal will just display that multilanguage is not implemented.
Once your multilanguage site is set correctly and no more errors showing, it can be safely unpublished.
Here are the steps to follow and the kind of resulting modals one can get.
1. Go to the module manager, filter by 'Administrator' and 'status' position, publish the module.
2. The module now shows in the status bar.
3. If the site is a mono-language site and none of the multilanguage aspects are wrongly enabled/published, the modal will just display:
4. If all the multilanguage variables are set as should, one will get:
5. If something is wrong somewhere *except for the structure of categories/items and specific issues for some templates*, one may get that kind of display:
I then worked on this and made it a CPanel module with errors as well as statuses, so the users would easily at any time take a pick and check if all was OK.
I asked Dennis Hermatski if it could be made as a status module so that one would not need to go to the Control panel to check. He did a great job, making it ajax and it worked fine from the status bar..
Rouven Weßling remarked that it was not using the current model we use for modals and gracefully changed this to use a new view in com_languages.
Some more tweaks, quite a few testers, and it is now in trunk grace to Mark Dexter who accepted this "new feature" to get in for 1.7.1.
A good example of collaboration between all these volunteers

Information about existing Production Working Groups is on this wiki page: http://docs.joomla.org/Production_Working_Groups If you would like to start a formally recognised Production Working Group then please make your proposal using the procedure on the wiki page.
Production Working Groups are not restricted to coding tasks. A group could form for the purpose of producing a specification, for doing research, for writing documentation, or for other jobs that need doing from time to time.
If you have an idea and want to form a group to work on it, then why not propose it? The Production Leadership Team (PLT) will review all proposals and if we think it is something that fits in with the vision and strategy for the project then we’ll help you get started.
For more details on how Production Working Groups work, see the announcement on the developer’s site: http://developer.joomla.org/news/359-new-production-working-groups.html

This role has become very important to the joomla community and therefore requires some attention to detail.

Joomla Day Austin is right around the corner, held on September 15th in Austin, Texas. JDay Austin will be unique for several reasons such as being held in a historic Austin movie theater located in downtown Austin and using an entirely different presentation method. The most important difference is that the team of speakers is currently constructing a new Joomla website for an Austin Non-profit, Minis and Friends.A Special Format
