Resources 1.5 - so excited, i have to share PDF Send Print
Friday, 05 March 2010

Resources 1.5 – most complete CCK Joomla component development is going. And it is really excited process. SO many things already been done. And how many yet to be done! The Resources 1.5 will be really great with flexibility we never had before.

After I complete every next task if our project manager I have only one worry. How all our customers will use it? Who they will goanna know that this and that possible? And almost anything will be possible that way or another, we will try of course add to 1.5 releases note with all 1.5 features highlights. I already started this document and add there descriptions of new features. And if possible field of application of those features and description how to use.

Let me share you highlights of new advanced field called “Records” that will be released with Mighty Resources 1.5. This new field will show list of records of any section of different things. Here is the list of list types.

  • Any Articles (use ordering)
  • Author's other articles
  • Author's favorite articles
  • Author's rated articles
  • Author's commented articles
  • Author's visited articles
  • That one who comment this article also comments
  • That one who rates this article also rates
  • That one who view this article also visit
  • That one who favorite this article also favorites
  • That one who buys this product also buys
  • Visitor's Created
  • Visitor's Favorites
  • Visitor's Rated
  • Visitor's Commented
  • Visitor's Visited
  • Tag Related Articles
  • Any articles with same field value(point field below)
  • Author's Articles with same field value(point field below)

It is not small isn’t it? And it has many interesting elements. But there is another field parameter called “Ordering”. Now think of this. You select first element "Any Articles" and ordering most featured firs or most rated or most hited. Thus you get list of records right in your article layout like “Most Featured Movies” or “Top Rated Videos”. Imagine! It is only 1 list type.

Please, have a look at picture in gallery. It is example of element “Any articles with same field value”. By selecting additionally field Year in parameters I got all articles of the same type in the same section within the same Year. Isn’t it cool? And now think of that. You ad sorting by Most hited and you get list something like this “Here is the other most popular movies of the same year ”

 

I am looking forward to release this amazing new version, God help me, and hope you all will greatly appreciate it.

This is great, great, great! Can't wait for 1.5 to be released...

Also looking forward to further news about what the features will be. Personally I would really like a more fancy filter template and an option to edit single fields using ajax. Also more statistics about visitors who view a resources article would be nice.

Regards,

Koen

You are lucky!

  1. 2 filter templates will be release very neat.
  2. Editing any fied (if enabled in parameters) through AJAX is in TODO list
  3. New reports for Analytics to show site visitors statistic including from what page, landing pages, browsers, resolutions, connection Speed, views, hits, popular pages, exit pages, all grouped by components, ... Almost like Google analytics but little bit better. Because will gather information Google cannot (like component) and will work on server quicker (because sometimes Google analytics JS code slow down page load)
Also note this is only one of 6 new fields planed. And it is not a feature itself. But this become possible because resources have new way to list records. this way was implemented as a result of optimization and request to create uniform code to create record lists like in profile, in group, in module, in Relate field, ...
I will keep posting here and inform how things are going. And as I complete new cool things I'll share it here.

The new records field is really cool for shops and catalogs.

The logic reminds me on some CB and Jomsocial extensions, where you can match and compare profile fields with other users. That way, you can display mutial friends or give network suggestions! Could we get this functionality in TOUCH as well?!?

I did a post in feature requests.
