Phoca extensions are created by a
single developer, in free time.
If you find Phoca extensions useful, it would be
great if you could help this project by answering questions in the forum, donating or making translations or documentation. Or
just submit a review here:
Phoca Extensions Review - Joomla.org (extensions)
Any help to maintain the project is much appreciated. Thank you very much.
Joomla! CMS is changing in time and it is very difficult to prepare all the extensions for new Joomla! releases. When something changes in Joomla! you need to react and check (change) over 50 extensions. The priority is to make a working extension for newest Joomla! system which mostly means, that e.g. some parts in documentation are obsolete and that it takes some time to answer the posts in forum (for example two days). Mostly there is no timeline to implementing new features because there are many factors which influence the releasing of new version. I would like to ask you for patience.
You should know that:
- Answering many question (forum, email, ...) at night after regular work is very difficult.
- Coordinate translations for new and old extensions is time demanding
- Creating features for completely different systems inside (Joomla! 1.5 and 1.6, 1.7, 2.5, 3) is sometimes not possible
- Making one extension ready for different systems inside takes a lot of time, so sometimes, implementing of small features into plugins or modules gets lower priority
- After all, it is very difficult to find time for developing, so every help which can save time of developer is much appreciated
- Adding new features or improving free extensions depends in fact on activity of users in the community. If community will not help, then the developer cannot do anything because the truth is, superman does not exist. :-(
Anyway, thank you very much Benno for answering posts in forum, testing new features, making german translations and documentation. Thank you very much.
