In light of this announcement, I’m going to hold off on doing any more development work on 1.5 versions of my Joomla! extensions. I will look at them again after 1.5 is out of Release Candidate.

The Daily Message Joomla! component tutorial breaks in Release Candidate 3. I’m going to release a fixed copy soon. In the meantime, you should be able to fix it by replacing these lines…

$menu =& JMenu::getInstance();
$item = $menu->getActive();
$params =& $menu->getParams($item->id);

…with these:

global $mainframe;
$params = &$mainframe->getParams();

This past Wednesday, I did a presentation on jQuery at the DCPHP Developers Group. The presentation content (which is written in jQuery) is available here.

Joel reflects on some of Apple’s subtle marketing and Microsoft’s lame attempt at copying it.
