The native MVC Joomla 1.5 component provides an easy voting system, requiring only a single click action for a speedy process. The component can be used to rate different images like landscapes, art, etc. or if the genre mode is enabled, more particular for male and female images. The upload is very easy, allowing also multiple upload. For each picture a sharelink and the number of hits will be visible and if admin enabled the description, comments and tags. To allow the administrator content control on the site, each picture and comment can be reported.

You can log into the demo site and check out frontend and backend Settings

It's been eight months since we introduced the legacy support for the Briefcase component. Today, we are proud to announce the release of a new product, compatible with the Joomla 1.5 native mode. Briefcase Facotry is the Joomla Component which is offers any Joomla Site, a very similar functionality as Yahoo Briefcase, but with a multitude of extended features.

briefcase Factory 1.5.0 released on March 3, 2009.

• Redeveloped to be a native Joomla 1.5.x component.
• New feature: File FTP Upload for Administrator.
• New feature: Set allowed file types.
• New feature: Search Mambot for Joomla Search.
• Several improvements including find user when sharing, AJAX on upload files, etc.

The new version of rss Factory PRO brings two new important features. The first major feature is the ability to Import the RSS feeds to the Joomla Content. Here you can set for each existing RSS feed the section and category where it will be imported and also set the author and publishing period. The second major feature is the Archive System. The period of how long the feed contents should be kept is admin configurable. Both new features are extending and maximizing the SEO SEF abilities of a website. Importing the feeds directly to the content will simplify the work of each webmaster, providing always new and updated content on his site. The archive system will provide for regular webpages the possiblity to be found again in a search engine. Regular websites are not so often indexed by the search engines machines and an archive system is providing the necessary requirements, that the indexed pages are still available on your site and any search result will lead to a valid page. We hope that the new version will increase the productivity of the sites and the whole Joomla Community will benefit from it.
