Just a quick message from development...

We've received a number of emails over the past couple of days.  Thank you!  Keep those ideas flow.  There should be an official roadmap posted within the week of where exactly we're headed with this component.  

Updates to the back end that have already been completed and will be in the next version include:

 

  • Easier customization of the default view.  Currently there is a custom.css file which contains all of the front end elements to make it easier if you're familiar with CSS and style sheets (remember to set Use Custom CSS to Yes in the back-end configuration)
    • Completed so far for next version:
      • implemented JPane/JPanels to better organize config
      • added a slick new jQuery implementation of a Color Picker with Preview so you can change the colors of all the front-end text
      • Joom!Fish translation component compatibility 
      • fixed the issue with Joomla-default mooTools conflicting with Staff Master's jQuery code
Highlights of things to add from emails received
  • Multiple views
  • Optional Staff Name/Image link to full-page view for that staff member
  • Greatly improved Updatability and version checking (as in.. actually being able to update instead of uninstall/re-install )
  • Ensuring proper compatibility with most of the popular WYSIWYG editors, at the moment some tags are still being stripped as well as the "Read More" 

Thats the shortlist... we're aiming to have this next version released in the next two days.  If you would like to  receive email updates when new versions are available for download, please register for the site over there on the left.  

More coming shortly as it develops... thank you all so much for your feedback so far... we're on the double-quick to get all these changes and about a legal-pad-sized shet of notes and changes to implement.  

-Thanks
