Coming soon! iJoomla RSS Feeder and iJoomla Search & Archive!

We're working on two new exciting new products:

iJoomla RSS Feeder - iJoomla RSS Feeder gives you an easy and flexible way to tap the power of RSS to distribute your content, get exposure, and improve your search engine rank by generating more incoming links. You can even ping the major RSS directories automatically or on the fly to get even more exposure!

iJoomla Search & Archive - This is really two major products in one! The Search feature will give your site powerful and sophisticated search capabilities, with advanced display of search results. The search results page will let you display thumbnails of images from articles, word counts, and even color-code the different keywords that were entered in the search! (just like searching the Google cache).

The Archive feature was created due to popular demand. The Archive part will allow you to display an archive page that indexes the content on your site. You can choose to arrange you archive any way you want, using sections/categories, authors, weeks, days, months or years. This is what a lot of our customers have been waiting for. Add powerful search and an archive of your site - and get both in one great product.

We hope to release these two new products in July, 2007 - or before that if we possibly can.

Important Information about the new JoomSEF upgrade and iJoomla News Portal

If you are using both iJoomla News Portal and the Artio JoomSEF component, please don't upgrade to the latest version of JoomSEF. It turns out that the latest version of JoomSEF has some compatibility issues with iJoomla News Portal as well with other extensions. The latest version of JoomSEF that we support is 1.4.0, so stick with this one until we make the necessary changes to iJoomla News Portal that will allow them to play nicely together. If you've already upgraded and you're having a problem, don't downgrade, it won't help because the new SEF links have already been created. Instead you should unpublish the news portal menu module of to get your site up and running again. As soon as we have a solution we will let you know.

Change logs now available for iJoomla Products

Yes, we've finally created a change log for each of our components. Now you can stay informed about all the changes we make to each of our products. You can access these change logs on the left navigation menu of each component. We will do our best to update these change logs in real time!

Our very first Joomla hack! A better password recovery option!

We have released our very first Joomla hack! Some things about Joomla could use improving and we're contributing our solution to the Joomla community. This modification to Joomla effects the way the "forgot password" feature works. Currently, if a user forgets their password for a site Joomla requires the user to enter both their username and email in order to retrieve the password. With our modification to Joomla, users will only be asked to enter the email address they used when they created their account, and their password will be sent to them at that email address.
