Earlier this month, Rod Martin went to J and Beyond 2013 in the Netherlands. It was a great conference. He had a fun, met the European Joomla community, enjoyed the beach and came back with a suntan. Well, it's all true apart from the last part. It was northern Europe, so had little chance of coming back with a tan, but he did bring back an award for OSTraining. We won the Best Joomla Service award. This covered the best hosting, training, support and contracting companies.

This is the third inteview in our series called, "Open Source in Education". We went to DrupalCon Portland in May and heard from a lot of frustrated teachers. Many of them are struggling to get their universities to allow them to run cutting edge web design courses. We've previously interviewed Tessa Mero who is teaching PHP at a community college in Seattle, and Jen Kramer who is teaching many types of open source development at Harvard. This week, we talked with Brent...

Bootstrap is an enormously popular CSS framework. Last week, we outlined 6 reasons why so many people love using it. This week, we have a quick tip from our forthcoming Joomla 3 and Bootstrap class. VIcki Watson shows us how to use the Firebug plugin for Firefox to diagnose and fix problems with Bootstrap sites:

Everyone seems to agree that teaching students to code is important. However, most of our education system seems to be stuck in the 20th century, teaching Dreamweaver and other outdated systems. Fortunately, we get to talk with an increasing number of teachers who include open source in their classes. Over the next few weeks, we're running a series called "Open Source in Education" and we're talking with several of those teachers. Last week, we spoke with Tessa Mero who is...

6 Reasons to Choose the Bootstrap CSS Framework

For those of you, who like me have been developing websites for few years, we tend to use similar chunks of CSS code that we copy paste from project to project. Those of you who are more organized may have developed your own set of base CSS files to use as foundation for your projects. This method works, but let’s face it, this is not the most efficient way to do things. Creating a CSS framework that is flexible, follows latest standards and is thoroughly tested takes days of work and...

WordPress celebrated it's 10th birthday this week but is still changing and evolving. In a previous blog post we speculated on what WordPress might look like in future versions. Now with the arrival of a plugin called MP6, we have a clear idea of what the WordPress admin area will look like later this year.

By default, the fields in a content type are displayed from vertically, one field after another. For simple content types, this might not be a bad thing, but if you want some variation in the way your content fields layout, you have options. When selecting a strategy for managing content layout, your first decision is 'to code or not to code.' If you are like me, you'll choose not to code. The next decision is which module do you want to use? There are three popular modules that...

Drupal 8 WYSIWYG Editor at DrupalCon Portland

3.5/5 (4 votes)

When Drupal 8 launches sometime in early 2014, one of the many new features built into the core will be a WYSIWYG editor. In our teaching experience, the lack of a WYSIWYG editor has been the most common user complaint about Drupal. I attended a session today by Nathan Haug, one of the key people behind making this a reality. You'll be able to turn off the editor, but it defaults to on when you first install Drupal. The editor used will be CKEditor which provides many robust,...

Here at OSTraining, we split our time between online and live training. Today we merge the two types of training in a new course called "WordPress Custom Content Types". Earlier this year, we held a live training class in Michigan. For three days, Topher taught a small group of attendees how to code with WordPress. We filmed that class and it's ready for you to watch online. Topher uses custom content types as a chance to explore WordPress coding in general.  Topher starts by...

We are not that long away from the scheduled release of Joomla 3.5, the next LTS (Long Term Release) and at this point in time I believe we really should not be looking at adding any game-changer features. My understanding, and hope, is that by the time we release 3.5 it should be a rock solid release and will need little more than minor maintenance and security releases for the rest of the release's life. What about new stuff? A high level Road Map exists, finally, but it doesn't dictate,...

The Ins and Outs of Accessible Web Design

Accessible websites allow users with disabilities to navigate the web and access information. A disabled user may be blind, have a motor disability, dyslexia, or a range of other disabilities that make web navigation difficult. Most users with disabilities will access the web using adaptive equipment, such as a screen reader or refreshable Braille display. Many will not use a mouse. And these disabled users make up around 10-20% of Internet users in most countries, so creating websites with...

Joomla 3.1 is now available. 3.1 is available as one-click update for all Joomla 3 users. The major new feature in 3.1 is Tags. We wrote a detailed introduction to Tags and said that this "is one of the best new features to be added to Joomla in a long time." In addition to Tags, there are some bug fixes and 7 security fixes, so do we recommend that Joomla 3 users update immeadiately. If you have a lot of sites, try using Admincredible.com to update quickly and easily.

I am not a strong swimmer OR remotely fit and I thought I should do something about that. The venue for J and Beyond has a great swimming pool so encourage me to stop talking and get in that pool by sponsoring me, please. I will be raising money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity (GOSHCC) in London by swimming 1km. That might not seem a lot to some of you but as I don't think I have swum more than 25 metres for over 20 years it's a heck of a long way for me. Great Ormond...

I messed pretty badly last week. I made a change to our site and within 48 hours our traffic was down by around 20%. Over the last few years we've been slowly growing our traffic, but we can't afford to lose that many visitors! The image below comes from Google Analytics. It shows the week before April 17th (orange) and week after it (blue). During the second week we were down 18.47% in visits and 19.05% in unique visits. Normally, we get over 60,000 visitors per week so we...
