The woof and the warp weblog about web stuff.

I've seen a couple of editor extended plugin buttons where the right side of the button wasn't handled correctly by the Joomla! admin css and ran into it myself today.

Looking at the css I noticed a class called "blank" for the buttons so I tested and got it to work with this:

$button->set('name', 'buttonname');

$button->set('name', 'buttonname blank');

The extra "blank" after the space will give your button a nicely rounded right side.

There is a lot of talk going on about duplicate content in Joomla! installations. Here's a good read from the Google Webmaster Central Blog about how they see and handle so called duplicate content.

Let's put this to bed once and for all, folks: There's no such thing as a "duplicate content penalty." At least, not in the way most people mean when they say that.

I'm designing and programming mainly for Joomla! for many years now, being one of the founders of the project helps a lot with counting years of course :-) and in case you are interested in the tools I use and why I use them I'll list them in this post.

My specialty and passion is creating custom designs/templates for Joomla!, WordPress, Drupal or just plain html sites. For Joomla! I also write components, modules and plugins but because I'm not a guru php programmer I can do that up to a certain level of complexity.

I love creating modules and plugins that give me a special feature and what I like most about writing them myself is the fact that I'm in full control over the markup the module or plugin renders at the front-end of a site.
