Description mode in 2.16 enabled again

February 19th, 2012

Hi everyone,

in the first build of 2.16 I disabled the description mode input field my mistake. In the current download I have enabled it again. Please download 2.16 again and simply install it again.

Have fun using JFUploader, TFU

TFU 2.16, JFUploader 2.16 and WFU 2.16 are online

February 11th, 2012

Hi everyone,

I have finished TFU 2.16 and full the integrations into Joomla and Wordpress.

For TFU itself I did some refactoring of the layout. So now all layout switches and combinations of them can be set without any visible layout change. I also increased security if you use the session workaround.
A couple of small fixes and the changes I needed for Joomla and Wordpress are included as well.

For Joomla the editor button is now more comfortable. Uploaded files or created thumbnails are now automatically selected. TFU 2.16 is fully integrated and license files are only loaded from the database if they don’t exist.
JFUploader is now fully compatible to Joomla 2.5.x and does also support the Joomla updater!

If you run Joomla 2.5.1 you NEED (!) JFUploader 2.16!

The biggest change was for the Wordpress flash uploader. Custom configurations files and Javascript can be used. So profiles for users, groups and roles can be created. So you have now the same possibility as in Joomla. You only have to create the configuration files manually and like in Joomla with the backend.
Furthermore I have connected the sessions when the session workaround is used. So now it should work on almost any server.

If you have any problems with the new versions please let me know as soon as possible.

Have fun using TFU, JFU, WFU,

How to add a Joomla update server that works also for plugins

February 11th, 2012

Hi,

today I had the problem that even after following the documentation on the Joomla help

http://docs.joomla.org/Developing_a_Model-View-Controller_%28MVC%29_Component_for_Joomla!1.7_-_Part_17

I was only able to get the automatic update working for the JFUploader component but for none of the 2 plugins of JFU.

I added the update server like described and where also adding update sections for each

targetplatform (1.6, 1.7 and 2.5).

After checking a lot of documentation, blogs I found out that for Joomla 1.7.x you have to set

<client_id>0</client_id>

but this was not working for Joomla 1.7.5. So I checked the Joomla code and there client instead of client_id has to be used. So for 2.5

<client>0</client>

has to be used.

I have now added

<client>0</client>
<client_id>0</client_id>

to all sections because who know if the Joomla core team decides to change it again in one of the updates.

Hope this help anywone who has the same problem.

If you like to see a working example please check the JFUploader code you can download on the website.

Have fun using JFU,

Michael
