Joomlashack Adopts the FocalPoint Mapping Extension

: Written by Steve Burge Steve Burge; Published: 15 August 2018 15 August 2018

We are happy to announce that we agreed to adopt FocalPoint, the Joomla mapping extension.

FocalPoint is an excellent extension, originallly developed by John Pitchers.

Over the last few years, we've made it clear that we're willing to adopt Joomla extensions. Whenever we've sent out that message, or announced an acquisition, people suggested Google Maps extensions to us.

With other Google Maps extensions, we weren't able to contact the original developer. But, when a user suggested FocalPoint, we reached out to John. He was enormously helpful and encouraging. Plus, his design and coding work in FocalPoint was outstanding.

So, thanks to feedback from Joomlashack users, and John's help, we're going to adopt FocalPoint. The new name will be "Shack Locations".

OSDownloads is Now Integrated With AcyMailing

OSDownloads is a great way to store and share files in Joomla. It also allows you to build email lists. You can request email addresses and other details from visitors before they can download your file. This email collection feature of OSDownloads is what you see when you download any free extension here at Joomlashack.

You can also connect OSDownloads to newsletter services so you can send emails to those visitors. OSDownloads supported Mailchimp and Constant Contact. Now it also supports AcyMailing, the Joomla newsletter extension.

In this post, I'll show you how the new OSDownloads Pro and AcyMailing integration works.

Joomlashack Adopts the Extensions of Pixpro Labs

: Written by Steve Burge Steve Burge; Published: 01 August 2018 01 August 2018

Joomlashack Has Adopted the Extensions of Pixpro Labs

Over the last 13 years, Joomlashack has built popular and powerful extensions and templates for Joomla.

In addition to building our own products, we've also acquired them from other developers. In recent years, we've adopted 6 extensions: JCal Pro, jInbound, Shack Forms, Shack Toolbox, Shack Open Graph, and Tabs and Sliders.

We think that adopting extensions is a win for everyone. In the past, developers had limited options if they wanted to stop work on their extensions. If they made an official announcement, they had to deal with unhappy users. To avoid this, sometimes the developers would just disappear. In contrast, a smooth adoption leads to a great outcome for the developers, users ... and Joomlashack customers.

It's now just over a month since the launch of Europe's GDPR laws. We recently wrote a guide to how Joomla is handling the GDPR.

We've also been listening and responding to customer requests about the GDPR.

One of the most common requests has been for improvements to how OSYouTube handles privacy. I'm pleased to say that we've just released a new version of OSYouTube which makes it much easier to be GDPR-compliant. The new version makes it much easier to disable cookies for your users.

We Are Willing to Adopt Joomla Extensions

: Written by Steve Burge Steve Burge; Published: 15 June 2018 15 June 2018

Over the last few days, we've been contacted by several Joomla users. These users were customers of a particular Joomla extension developer. The developer seems to have vanished overnight, shutting down their website.

This is not the first time we've seen a situation like this. Life happens. People get busy, create new extensions and services, change jobs, or may need to stop development for 1,001 other reasons.

But, if you don't want to disappoint your existing customers, let me offer an option: Joomlashack is willing to adopt your extensions.
