News Blog: WordPress & Joomla Extensions

We want to thank you the famous blog "Joomlainfo" for the Dropfiles review he made.

German speaker, let's have a look here: http://www.joomlainfo.ch/themen/erweiterungen/item/250-dropfiles-ermoeglicht-cdn-mit-google-drive.html

There are few easier ways to manage files than Google Drive. Nonetheless, whereas Google Drive makes it easy for teams to share files, most of the blogging action happens on Joomla. Dropfiles is JoomUnited’s answer to manage all your Google Drive files directly from your Joomla blog.

Dropfiles is primarily a file manager for Joomla, but one that is aware that sometimes, it is far easier to host files away from your blog. In light of this, Dropfiles comes with complete integration of Google Drive, allowing you to manage your cloud files from Joomla, and your Joomla files from Google Drive.

It's been a lot of work but it's out! Dropfiles 2 brings a lot of possibilities to manage your files in your Joomla installation.
Drastic backend enhancement, powerful access right, SEF file URL, Google Drive integration,...
Let see that in details.

Hikashop is the most powerful Ecommerce solution for Joomla. Associated with Hikamarket component you get a multi vendor solution (add resellers to your online shop). My maps location for Hikashop/Hikamarket is a specific plugin package that brings a full integration to find a local product or reseller based on your location. Everything is now integrated in the main package of My Maps location.

Droppics 2 is out, adding some amazing features that bring this extension to the state of the easiest image and gallery manager for Joomla.

Dropfiles has a unique file importer available for Joomla. With our importer you will be able to define individually witch file you want to import in the category you want. You can choose any folder from your FTP to import files...

We've recently launched Dropfiles, witch is in our opinion the easiest way to manage files in Joomla.
The main idea is to manage files with less click as possible. For example you're able to update your files in 3 click, I mean really 3 clicks! You just open an article, click on the Dropfiles button, drag a file to update it, already done!

The main idea of the component is to focus on the main actions you're doing when you manage files: send files, categorize them, update them, determine access level.

We recently been at j&Beyond Netherland. We've made 2 conferences:

- A lightning talk about managing images in Joomla with Droppics
- A conference about the extension production process
