Joomla SEO case Study

As some of you may be aware, I've started a site build and SEO case study that you can watch and follow on a weekly basis. Every week I'll be doing different aspects of the website build and take you through how we plan, design, build and optimise a website from scratch and hopefully get it to number one of the search terms that we are aiming for.

You can follow the case study: Potts Point Pizza, and get updates on all of the progress as the site is being built.

Joomla Content Version Control Addition

This is an exciting new addition to the Joomla core that I can not wait for. I've been using third party extensions for many websites in the past and this will really push Joomla in to a higher market bracket that requires version control of content as a part of the work flow process.

Thank you Mark Dexter who has put so much work into this new feature! (I said DexterCowley in the podcast which is his username, Sorry!)

Joomla content version control on JoomlaCode.org.

Check out the project and test and help squash the bugs to get this released in the next big release of Joomla.

Here is a little except from the JoomlaCode.org post about the addition:

To try the new feature

Do a new Joomla install using the patch versions-2.diff. Or get the latest diff from Github here: https://github.com/dextercowley/joomla-cms/compare/master...versions-2.diff. Or you can install from the full zip file Joomla_3.1.2-Test-Versioning-Full_Package.zip. Edit an article or article category. Enter the Version Name (optional) and click Save. Now make some changes to the article. Enter a new version name and save again. Click the Prior Versions Button. A modal window pops up and shows you the versions. Restore from the original version by clicking the checkbox and Load Version button. Known Issues At This Time

Does not show version name in edit form after restore from history. Does not restore tag changes (saved in mapping table) or article or category permissions. Preview and Compare buttons not implemented yet in version history modal. Only articles and article categories are implemented at this time.
