Simple Image Gallery Pro v3.8.0 is now available to download for subscribers. This new release improves upon existing features, extends Flickr support to galleries (beyond albums/sets) and adds PHP 7.4 & Postgres compatibility.

Here's what's been added or changed in Simple Image Gallery Pro with the release of v3.8.0:

  • Added support for Flickr "galleries", beyond the already supported "albums/sets". Additionally, you can now fetch all images at once from some Flickr gallery/album/set by setting the relevant limit in SIGPro's settings to 0.
  • Added the option to override the default gallery layout in the SIGPro gallery insertion modal (frontend & backend).
  • Improved support for PHP 7.4 (mainly notices in the settings).
  • Fixed an issue where the gallery layout selector did not work with a Postgres database.
  • Added an option in SIGPro's settings (under "Advanced") to disable the WYSIWYG editor button in one or more components.
  • Properly filter multiline pasted text in the "description" field (in the captions). Previously, such pasted content would appear cut-off in the SIGPro modal/popup in the frontend.
  • File uploads now use built-in Joomla libraries which should resolve any upload issues with servers running "Windows Server".

Simple RSS Feed Reader v3.8.0 released

Today we're releasing version 3.8.0 of the Simple RSS Feed Reader module. This new release brings back Joomla 1.5 support (by popular request), it introduces a new sub-template & changes the remote image resizing service from Mobify to Images.weserv.nl.

Here's what's been added or changed (in more detail) with the release of v3.8.0:

  • Re-instated Joomla 1.5 support.
  • Added new sub-template for rendering YouTube Playlist feeds as a list of videos. This sub-template requires the use of our free plugin AllVideos to render the videos in a responsive format.
  • Swapped Mobify with Images.weserv.nl (powered by CloudFlare) since the former was bought out by Salesforce and subsequently dropped.
  • Improved compatibility with PHP 7.4.

The next update will offer compatibility with the upcoming Joomla 4 release (currently in "beta") and will also be tested against PHP 8.

Simple RSS Feed Reader is fully compatible with Joomla 1.5 to 3.x & PHP versions up to 7.4.

DOWNLOAD

You can download this version by visiting the product's page at: https://www.joomlaworks.net/extensions/free/simple-rss-feed-reader

UPGRADING

Simply install on top of any other 3.x release. The update will also appear in the Joomla extension updater (for Joomla v2.5 or newer).

Simple RSS Feed Reader v3.9.0 released

Today we're releasing version 3.9.0 of the Simple RSS Feed Reader module. This is a bugfix release.

Here's what's been added or changed (in more detail) with the release of v3.9.0:

  • Fix the installer for Joomla 3.x on new installations. The introduction of support for Joomla 1.5 all the way up to 3.x unfortunately broke the installer for 3.x (oh, the irony) for new installations. Upgrades from previous versions to 3.8.0 had no issues for any Joomla release.
  • Improved the image parser/extractor. Removed support for .bmp type images.
  • Fixed various warnings/notices.

The next major update (v4) will offer compatibility with the upcoming Joomla 4 release (currently in "beta" and soon going into "RC" status) as well as entirely new layouts. ranging from simple lists to more complex grid layouts utilizing CSS grid properties.

Simple RSS Feed Reader is fully compatible with Joomla 1.5 to 3.x & PHP versions up to 8.0.

You can download this version by visiting the product's page at: https://www.joomlaworks.net/extensions/free/simple-rss-feed-reader

Simple Image Gallery Pro v3.9.0 released

Simple Image Gallery Pro v3.9.0 is now available to download for subscribers. It's both a bug-fix and new feature release.

Here's what's been added or changed in Simple Image Gallery Pro with the release of v3.9.0:

  • SIGPro will now read EXIF metadata from images that contain orientation details and properly rotate or flip images before creating thumbnails.. This means you won't need to process images using desktop software to correct their orientation before uploading them on your server. A handy feature especially for those who work with images coming from pro DSLR cameras.
  • Replaced the Mobify image CDN with Weserv's, which is powered by CloudFlare. This will restore the option to resize the source image, as the Mobify CDN unexpectedly shut down a few months ago. Weserv's processing & delivery is also much faster.
  • Updated Lightbox2 to version 2.11.3.
  • Updated elFinder (used in the SIGPro Media Manager in the backend) to version 2.1.59.
  • Fancybox can now be translated through the Joomla language manager (language overrides) or via custom language packs (a much requested feature from users).
  • Gallery layout CSS files are now linked in the document <head> with an appended timestamp. This will allow you to perform live changes to a gallery layout's CSS even when your site is behind a CDN like CloudFlare's (so you don't have to purge the CDN's cache for that file everytime you do a change in it) or behind a server-side caching proxy (e.g. Nginx or Varnish).

SIGPro has also been tested to work on up to PHP 8 without any issues. If you have any custom gallery layouts though, you may have to slightly modify them to play nice with PHP 8. As always, send a ticket in our helpdesk system for assistance with such matters...

 

WHAT'S COMING NEXT

You may be wondering what coming next for SIGPro. Well, a lot for sure!

The next version of SIGPro is already being worked on and eventually it will have the following features:

  • Custom ordering for images using drag and drop
  • All-new gallery layouts using CSS Grid properties, with distinct options for responsive designs
  • More slideshow-like (carousel) gallery layouts
  • Updated backend UI that is fully responsive on mobile devices for gallery management on the go
  • WebP support
  • Dynamic image filters
  • Support for AMP pages
  • New JSON based format for captions
  • More ordering options
  • Less jQuery-dependant modals and layouts, which will also translate to improved Core Web Vitals scores for your pages with image galleries on
  • Support for improved image conversion using Image Magick (when available on your server)
  • Improved overall performance
  • Joomla 4 compatibility when it's f-i-n-a-l-l-y released :)

Not all the features above will be available when SIGPro v4 is released, but they will be gradually included as updates come in.

Adobe Releases Flash Player 10.1

You can download the official release of Adobe Flash Player 10.1 on the Adobe site.

This is the first step in what will be an extremely eventful year for streaming media. Adobe will soon enter the enterprise market in a big way with a version of Flash Media Server that supports both IP and Application Multicasting.

Flash has long dominated the public internet, but its inability to multicast meant corporations had to stick with Windows Media. This new capability will give large enterprises the opportunity to migrate to the Flash format and benefit from its ability to run on any OS and any browser, ease of use, support for higher quality codecs, ability to change bit rates on the fly etc.
