Staff Master v1.0 Release Candidate 1 The biggest changes to be aware of with this release: - Rounded Corners Javascript has been removed due to compatibility issues
- jQuery has been removed from the front end due to complications with Joomla's forced MooTools loading
- MooTools implementation of View Details slider
- A new Page model has been implemented to help facilitate easier Views
- Joomla's Email.Cloak library used to hide Contact Details Email Addresses
Updating from a previous version? Make a backup of your database first! In our testing, Staff Master updates seamlessly from previous versions. After running Joomla Component Upload/Install screen, go to Staff Master's main control panel screen and you should see an Update DB icon. Clicking this should save any data in any field that we've changed. There were only a few. Staff Master v1.0 RC 1 Download Some other notes: - Configuration was re-organized and several new options were added
- Import Users Icon will now allow you to import the Name and Email Address from Joomla's User list. When finally released, v1.0 final should have an Import From Community Builder option as well.

Development of the next Staff Master version has resumed. If you use Staff Master, and especially if you enjoy customizing views and layouts, I've posted a question in the forums just for you! With the next cycle of releases, hopefully we'll seal up some holes as well as provide an easier way for you to customize Staff Master's front-end output. You can hop over to the thread and share you opinions on how to make the views easier to customize! Check it out! |

This first tutorial covers a fairly basic feature in all of Joomla, but as I've received a couple of emails and forum posts about it, I thought I'd go ahead and make a quick demonstration tutorial using Staff Master and how to add different views to your Joomla Menus. edit: You must be registered (free) and logged in to see the Tutorials Menu and view tutorials.
Just like any new process (or new version release), it might be a little rough at first.. but as I come across better tutorial making technology, these will start shaping up nicely. I sat down once again to write some documentation on Staff Master, but it seems that things are just .. well.. tedious.. and technical writing isn't a favored past time of mine... so why not Show you! hehe.. if anyone knows of, or has any better tutorial making software, I'm all ears.. send me a message in the forums, or email at
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
. Also as this is somewhat of a new thing here, any other comments or feedback would be great. And if you have some free time, nothing would help get the ball rolling on this new version faster than Voting and/or Writing a Review of the component at Joomla Extensions . 10 of you have already Favourited the component so far.. and if you feel like it's let you down and you've got nothing nice to say about Staff Master, again, let me know via forums or email and I bet we can make things do what they need to do for you! Thanks again all,

After a number of days (full days.. long days..) I believe we've finally got all the kinks worked out of this new version of Staff Master. If you had downloaded version 0.7.0 and had trouble, please download 0.7.5... if you did not uninstall it, all of your data is still there and will slide over into the new version easily. Here are a list of specific changes: ==============================================================================
0.7.0.4 --> 0.7.5.0
------------------------
# Fixed issue with msie style sheets lte6 and lte7 both being packaged, but lte7 only installing due to missing xml statement
# Fixed issue with install erroring if a department or settings already exist
+ Added Clean/Default menu input for Listall View
+ Added "staff_image" class to all staff images
+ Added user-generated view: Department List View
+ Added admin-area JS commands to check if staff/department name is empty before clicking save/apply
+ Added gnu_gpl_v3_license.txt to file structure
* Refined version messages when not checking for a version
** A Huge THANK YOU to Emmanuel Lemor for bug testing with me til 7am a few nights,
** this version would not have have been ready nearly as soon without him.
==============================================================================
0.7.0.3 --> 0.7.0.4
------------------------
# Fixed issue with "line 400" controller.php error / pathway
