Welcome! First time visitors will find the Daily Message Component Tutorial to be helpful. (Daily Message for Joomla 1.0 is also available, as well as many other tutorials based around it). In addition to the tutorials, there are articles covering conceptual topics, such as the oft-asked question "What is the difference between a component and a module?" To receive alerts for new tutorials and articles, choose a newsfeed at the right appropriate for your newsreader.

Podcast Suite, Version 1.5 Beta

Podcast Suite for Joomla! 1.5 is now available. Download the component, module, and plugin.

If you're migrating from the Joomla! 1.0 version, also download the migrator plugin files. After installing the migrator component on your 1.0 site, unzip this package, then copy podcast.php into /administrator/components/com_migrator/plugins and podcast.sql into /administrator/components/com_migrator/tables before doing your migration

As of Joomla! 1.5.6, you may see alerts on installation of the component for languages you don't have installed. Do not be alarmed; this is a temporary issue in the Joomla! core that will be fixed soon. The suite is now internationalized and has a French language pack under development.

Podcast Suite 1.5 requires PHP 5 and our current test environment is 5.2.x. If you get a parse error on line 70 of podcast.php after installing the component, your server is running an outdated version of PHP; ask your host about upgrading. Please also make sure you are running the latest copy of Joomla! 1.5.x.

Podcast Suite uses XMLWriter which is included in PHP core. However, it relies on libxml. Although most servers already have this ready to go, you may find that you need to have it installed.
