IP Mapping 1.3.2 released

location-48IP Mapping release 1.3.2 available.

The Joomla component came from a requirement to display IP addresses of site visitors upon Google maps.
This release required a Joomla version 3.3 or above to function. Earlier versions are not supported. The release adds an option to use HTML5 geo-location determination to store the visitors location data. The browser itself, if it supports HTML5 geo-location controls the whether the user permits or declines to share their location data. If the user declines then the normal IP location determination mechanism is used.

This minor update corrects a few minor problems with the earlier 1.3.1 release.  Tested upon Joomla 3.4.3.

See the changelog for details.

The release is available in the usual download location on our site.

Displaced anchor links when used with a fixed page header

We recently introduced a couple of new articles upon our site which made use of internal referenced anchor points to make navigation a little easier. We immediately saw a small problem, in that although the anchors worked and directed the viewer to the relevant part of the article, the positioning was below the required anchor point, so that the header and part of the text was obscured. This was caused by our using a fixed header on each page.

We pondered on the problem for a while and then found this interesting article on the web which described a virtually identical problem and a possible solution.

For those who only want the solution and in case the original article is ever removed, we reproduce our modified version of the solution below.

First, I moved the id’s of each h3 section to a new element: (a span in this case)

<span class="anchor" id="section1">span>
<h3>Section1h3>

The new elements were added right above each header section and would serve as the new anchor point. Whilst empty elements on a page are not perhaps the best solution, in this situation is certainly solves the issue.

Once the new elements were in place, a bit of CSS was added to the template custom css:

.anchor{
  display: block;
  height: 90px; /*same height as header*/
  margin-top: -90px; /*same height as header*/
  visibility: hidden;
}

It also works well with the responsive template and changing browser window sizing.

Joomla 2.5.28 released


joomlaThe Joomla! Project and the Production Leadership Team have announced the release of Joomla! 2.5.28.

This is a maintenance release for the 2.5 series of Joomla! and is the final scheduled release of the series. Support for Joomla! 2.5 is scheduled to end on December 31, 2014.

What does this mean for me?

End of support refers to when Joomla! no longer provides bug fixes, features, or security updates for a release. This is the time to make sure you have the latest available update of Joomla. Your website will continue to work as normal.

Web Site Revamp

We are pleased to announce the revamp of our web site.

We have retaining all of our previous content which is now presented in a template designed by Joostrap making use of Bootstrap v3.

This redesign is intended to reflect some of the newer emerging technologies and also increased performance and a more streamlined design. It is fully responsive and mobile ready, using HTML5 as standard.

This is the first of a number of changes we will be making on the site which will be made over the next month or so. Our previous template has served us well for a while but all things have their time and it was time to move with the times.

Update 25/06/2014: Have also upgraded the version of Joomla to the latest release. Hopefully everything will remain stable.
