Previously I wrote about how you can display RSS feeds from multiple sources in AJAX Scroller. You probably know that AJAX Scroller can also be used to display your Twitter posts, but how can it be used to display tweets from multiple users?

AJAX Scroller video review
Just recently I stumbled upon a quite interesting video, reviewing front page news modules for Joomla. The video is published by SmartTactics and devotes most of the time talking about AJAX Scroller. The video is pretty informative so check it out below (jump to 3:35 if you want to go straight to the AJAX Scroller part). Read more »
Package extensions for Joomla 1.7 and 1.5 together
Two years ago I wrote about combining Joomla 1.0 and 1.5 extensions into a single installation package. This allowed developers to distribute only a single installation file of their extension which could be used on both Joomla versions. In the same time it was easier for users as well since they avoided dealing with different installation files for different Joomla versions.
Now we reveal how you can add a version for Joomla 1.6 or 1.7 to the same package and create a single installation file of your extension for all Joomla versions! Read more »

Domain checker module
Exclusively for Bosnian Joomla Community I created a module for checking domain availability. It is used primarily for .ba (Bosnia) TLD but can also be used to check for other TLDs, like .com, .org, .net etc. The module uses AJAX to check for domain availability without page refresh and contains some nice graphics, read on for more screenshots.
Multiple RSS feeds in AJAX Scroller
Today I received an interesting question: “Is there a way to add multiple RSS feeds to run simultaneously in AJAX Scroller?”. We know that there is only one single field for entering URL of the feed to be fetched and displayed by AJAX Scroller. So how do we add several different RSS feeds and combine them together in the output? Simple: we use an online feed aggregate tool!
Stock chart integration in Joomla
Recently I developed a financial chart integration in Joomla for Algo Futures. The charts, called WOW Indices, represent a market’s Order Flow Momentum as determined by Algo Future’s proprietary set of algorithms. WOW Index (Weiss Order Weighted Index) is a Weighted Index that is built from information derived from each and every Order within a particular market. Available markets are SP 500, Dow 30, STOXX 50 and Crude Oil electronic futures markets. It is a free and handy tool that allows traders to trade with the institutional, hedge fund, and prop order flow that drives changes in price. Read more »

Forum spam
Recently I began to receive huge amount of spam on forum. The attack started about a month ago with hundreds of fake registrations every day all adding spam links to various sites for SEO purposes. The curious thing is that they were able to bypass different types of visual verifications, anti-bot systems and email activation which suggests these are attacks with human intervention. Read more »
We are moving
This week we are moving. From USA to Europe actually. Well, only the site of course. There could be some disturbances with Sakic.Net and its services so please bear with us until things are settled and everything is in place on the new server.
EDIT (Oct 31st 2009): The server move has been completed. Hope everything went smoothly and you haven’t noticed it. Please leave a comment about how the new host feels: is the site faster, slower and where you surf from.
