Today we are excited to bring you something new. Most likely something you have never expected. Everyone has heard of Joomla Template Frameworks but Joomla Module framework is something that most of Joomla developers should have. This is first in series of our YJ Module Engines and it is dedicated to Joomla and K2 News Items. Upcoming versions might feature other 3rd party Joomla extensions like Virtuemart , RedShop, SOBI or any most used Joomla extension.

This extension for MijoACL component provides the ability to set permisions and control access for K2 component.

MijoACL is a flexible and powerful Joomla Access Control component with an easy-to-use user interface that provides the ability to set all front-end and back-end permisions from one page and to assign any user to multiple groups. 

MijoACL is an advanced Joomla ACL manager that offers you to set User Based Permissions, create unlimited groups and manage all rules for your Joomla site so it makes it easier to work with the Joomla ACL system.

We have just released v2.5.1 of K2, a maintenance release, fixing some minor issues as reported by the K2 Community.

This release maybe "maintenance", but we have gone through some "bigger" changes regarding content setup workflow and frontend editing.

In v2.5.1 we have improved the "friendliness" of frontend editing. E.g. when you edit an item via the frontend and close the editing window, the page will refresh, revealing the applied (or not) changes. Frontend users who don't have "publishing" rights will see a notice displaying at the top of the editing window and they will not see the published/featured controls. Additionally, only users with "editorial" rights (but not necessarily publishing rights), aka users with the permission "can edit any item" in their K2 group, are the ones who can now see and change an item's author. Previously anyone with some editing rights could do that. So all in all, frontend editing is a bit more tied up and informative to your frontend users.

The K2 Lof Scroller Module is a integration module working with the k2 component, allows displaying the list of k2 items in a grid and pages . The module has three 3 main functions: Showcase, Recent viewed and Same In Category  and combine the smooth scrolling effect, Opacity Hovering Effect of the mootools plugin, it's easy to select a proper function, take a look and feel very impressive for your site.

I'm glad that after more than a year of constant development and improvements (and a rock solid v2.4.1), K2 version 2.5.0 is now available to download.

The major upgrade to 2.5.0 is that K2 is now a native Joomla! 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 extension. But upgrades don't stop there. We have significantly improved performance, measuring up to 500% in complex sites with complex structures and pages with lots of items on them (portals, magazines etc.).

Version 2.5.0 also marks the switch to the jQuery library, as it's one (better) JavaScript library to maintain the code for, without needing to resort to hacks in Mootools in order to support all Joomla! versions.

Let's take a closer look at all the changes that version 2.5.0 brings. Sit back, relax and start reading (will take time). :)
