If you don't know what to talk about, then the topic of weather is always a good place to start. For this reason I have also dealt with the topic of weather and the result is the Joomla module jsWeather and a Web application for a weather forecast.

I have developed a new Joomla extension, jphpx, a system package for Joomla. jphpx consists of a system plugin, a Joomla component and a module for the use of custom codes in Joomla 4.x and Joomla 5.x. With jphpx, scripts in PHP, HTML and JavaScript can be integrated into module positions, articles, categories and user-defined modules from Joomla. Static HTML and Text pages can also be used. Full access to Joomla variables, functions and constants with PHP scripts is possible.

My Joomla extension, php-rgraph, a content plugin for Joomla is now supporting RGraph's Version 6.16. It uses my php-interface to the popular javascript api, RGraph, which is a JavaScript charts library that produces the charts dynamically with JavaScript and the HTML5 canvas tag. For more information read my articles about php-RGraph and my joomla plugin php-rgraph.

Also I encourage you to visit RGraph's home, to see the oustanding work the developers are doing and have done.

All my Joomla extension have been improved or have been added new or improved functions. Of course detected software bugs have been removed. In addition to that I've cleaned HTML-markups to adhere to HTML5 standards in all of my extensions.

All my extension have been updated in order to be run with PHP Version 8.

jmootips Version 1.2.7 (Build 1.2.7.3) now uses bootstrap bundle version 5.1.3. The tipbutton editor-xtd plugin has been revised and thus improved for use with joomla version 4 and Version 5.

jmootips Version 1.2.6 implements the missing support for Bootstrap version 5. With this jmootips now also runs with full functionality under Joomla version 4.

jmootips Version 1.2.3 build level 1.2.3.0 introduces a new option, which allows jmootips to auto-adjust tooltip positions according to the displayed content. This parameter for auto positioning may be set via Joomla's admin backend or via jmootips plugin tags.

flashChart content plugin Since Adobe no longer supports Flash Player after December 31, 2020 and blocked Flash content from running in Flash Player beginning January 12, 2021, Adobe strongly recommends all users immediately uninstall Flash Player to help protect their systems. Therefore flashchart plugin will not run successfully anymore and is not supporteed anymore.

jsvisit counter 2.1.4 This Version has been tested and successfully run both with latest Joomla Version 4 and Version 5. With this version ip-addresses are assigend to countries, using a webservice from ip2c.org. If needed webservices from geoplugin.net and ip‑api.com or ipapi.co may also be used. The respective servers can be used all or selectively. If no server was selected, the assignment and counting of countries will be switched off.
