New helpcenter finally a go!

Written by Jan Sangill Wednesday, 17 March 2010 18:34

During the last months I have been thinking a lot about creating a better helpcenter on my homepage.

The helpcenter will consist of 3 types of applications that in the end should increase and speed up the help receieved.

These 3 things are:

  • Forum - Already a part of the website - nothing changed there.
  • Ticket system - This is for registered users who deserve speedy help.
  • Chat - Live chat for the people who is in need of help or information very fast.

As stated the forum is already implemeted -  and will stay the same. The ticket system is something I am about to develop. This ticket system will be offered to registered users as well - in form of a component. 

The deadline for this new helpcenter will be at the end of May.

 

GoogleMap PRO V.2 OUT!

Written by Jan Sangill Wednesday, 17 March 2010 18:22

Finally,

The new version of the GoogleMap Pro component have been released. 

During the last couple of weeks it was in the BETA stage - this have now been removed - and it's gone STABLE.

This version will receive regular updates, and new integration possibilities. The Old version is from this date no longer receiving updates.

Just to give a small overview of what have changed:

  • Increased server side handling - losing some of the very heavy javascript that was unnesecary.
  • Support for new plugins - such as Community Builder and SOBI2.
  • Paypal integration.
  • Complete remake of frontend design - and code.
  • Custom fields added.
  • Destination landing page.
  • And so much more..

Documentation and tutorials will be finalised March 31.

 

New helpcenter comming after the new year, alongside new GoogleMap PRO version.

Written by Jan Sangill Sunday, 08 November 2009 11:06

The start of the new year will bring a few more helping hands to the user. A new helpcenter will be unleashed. This should make it easier for people to get the help they need - when they need it.

The helpcenter will include a FAQ, Forum and a ticket system.

The ticket system is being developed as we speak, and this will also be released as a new component Jan's Joomla offer.

This new setup will be followed by a new version of the GoogleMap PRO. This version will increase it's functionality a lot. To see a more indepth view of what is being planned, go here.

GoogleMap PRO and new homepage design released!

Written by Jan Sangill Sunday, 18 October 2009 18:44

Finally, the new homepage is up and running, and as a bonus the GoogleMap PRO is released too.

The new googleMap component comes in two versions. A light (free) and a PRO version. Although the new version 1.0.3 just came out, this does not mean that I am resting. New improvements are already scheduled. To see what I am thinking about, go to my googleMap PRO todo list.

Moreover, I hope the new homepage design is to your liking. If not, then feel free to contact me and suggest improvements.

New design and GoogleMap

Written by Jan Sangill Saturday, 04 July 2009 08:45

I am just about done with a new and improved design of my homepage. This will be done this week.

After that I will use some time setting it up, and implementing new features that come with this new design.

Moreover when the new site is released, a new version of the GoogleMap component will be made public. This release will update the component significantly, with lots of new things added to the mix.

So far, I do not have a release date for the site and googlemap component, all i know is that it will be during the summer.

I have just released the new version of the googlemap. In the comming time I will try to upload some language packages and a few extra modules to complete the googleMapPackage.

Have fun with it.

Modules instead of components

Written by Jan Sangill Saturday, 04 July 2009 08:44

I just uploaded the first batch of improvements to my google component.

My next move will not be to make another component - atleast not the comming months.

Instead I will try to create some small modules. First task will be to finish the AjaxSearch module.

New project in the making

Written by Jan Sangill Saturday, 04 July 2009 08:44

Since I just finished the GoogleMap component, I need a new project to work on.

At this very moment I am contemplating a news component, however it could also be a sort of  'catalogue' component.

Which one I will take upon me will be decided mid April.
