Joomla! Resources Directory Launched
July 30th, 2009
In response to overwhelming interest and requests from the Joomla community, the Joomla Project is pleased to announce the Joomla Resource Directory goes online today at resources.joomla.org. If you’re a Joomla user, there’s no easier way to find developers, service providers, and other valuable resources.
“We think this will be a great way to connect end-users and service providers in the Joomla Community,” said Wendy Robinson of the JRD Team.”Most small businesses can’t afford to advertise on the Joomla.org sites and this will provide them wide exposure. With close to a million visitors and 14 million page views a month, the JED has proven that there is wide interest in products related to Joomla.”
The JRD builds on the success of the JED—the most popular place to find Joomla Extensions. Both are powered by the Mosets Tree 2.1 directory extension, a GPL extension that also powers the Joomla Site Showcase.
If you’re a service provider, listing in the Resource Directory is free of charge (premium listings will be offered in the future for a fee). This includes consultants, template designers, tutorial sites, and just about any other Joomla service. Users can post reviews of these services and share their experiences with the community.

Creative Uses for PHP
May 6th, 2009
If you’re a familier with the word ‘PHP’ then here is some useful creative uses for it.
E-Commerce
E-commerce is one of the major uses for PHP. From a small business level to an enterprise level, businesses are always looking to create additional streams of revenue online. If you know how to integrate existing e-commerce solutions or build your own from scratch, this gives you a distinct advantage with your clients.
Beginners
Advanced Coders
· CakePHP.
Graphical User Interface
If PHP is your favorite programming language, then you can use some of these PHP extensions to get you started creating GUI applications.
- PHP GTK – This extension is a popular open source that implements the GIMP toolkit
- ZZEE PHP GUI – A paid solution that allows you to turn your PHP scripts into Windows applications
Image Processing and Generation
Using the GD library with PHP, you can do more than just output HTML to the browser! You can output images in different file types including jpeg, png, and gif. This feature of PHP is useful because it allows you to create thumbnail pictures, add watermarks, resize and crop images, and even create a photo gallery!
Mailing Lists
You can write your own script to send e-mail newsletters to your client, or use a ready-made script. The PHP online documentation explains PHP mailing functions in more detail. There are also scripts you can download and install on your website:
Developing Facebook Applications
You can integrate Facebook with your website using PHP. If you have developed Facebook applications using another language or you would like to get started with PHP, the Facebook developer’s wiki can help you to get started.
Create Graphs and Charts
Do you need visual representations of numbers on your site? PHP can create graphs and charts too! Using Image_Graph, you can create up to fourteen different types of charts including pie charts, bar graphs,.
Generating PDF Files
The PDF format is Adobe’s proprietary file type for document exchange. Using a library called PDFLib, you can generate PDF files with PHP. This library is already included with PHP5; to access it, you need to uncomment the appropriate lines in your PHP configuration file. An example of why creating PDF files might come in useful is, if you were building an online invoicing application and you wanted to output an HTML-generated invoice in PDF format.
Parsing XML Files
PHP allows you to parse XML files. Parsing XML is an important feature of PHP 5 because not all browsers can output the contents of an XML file; so you can create a parser in PHP to facilitate this process. Using XML is important for RSS feeds, and also for data storage and rendering data on different devices – for example, cell phones use an implementation of XML called WML (Wireless Markup Language). Working with XML files in PHP is similar to handling the opening, closing, and reading of a file.
Content Management Systems
One of the most popular uses of PHP is creating or using Content Management System. A good CMS allows your clients to update their website and add content without any in-depth knowledge of HTML and CSS. You can use one of the widely available free or commercial solutions listed below:
Create Dynamic Website Templates
Using PHP, you can make it easier to add pages and elements to your websites dynamically. You begin by creating the HTML page and splitting it into the header, main content, and footer sections. Add the .php extension to your subsequent pages and use server-side Includes for the header and footer for each new page. You can also have dynamic sidebars and top navigation sections. As a matter of fact, the more “templated” your site is, the easier it is to update the content.
Building an Online Community
You can build your own PHP-driven online community, or choose from widely available scripts that you can implement into your website. Some popular ones include:
