What do you think is a good alternative to WHMCS?

The function call needs to be wrapped in this.each() so that jquery iterates over multiple nodes if they are passed to the plugin. Also, the return $(this) is redundant, when you extend the jquery object, you are automatically passed the jquery object as this, so returning the plain this works just fine. Thanks for your work!

Re: iPhone 4 vs EVO 4G vs Nexus One Review

I went with the iPhone 4. Simply because it is an elegantly designed ecosystem. Apple fuses the hardware, software and cloud based services, into one coherent experience. There are quality apps, and there is a lack of "this phone doesn't support this app because it has: too small a screen/too slow/lack of an accelerometer" because there is only 1 iPhone, revised every year.

My only gripe so far, is that I have to wait on 3rd party developers to update their apps to take full advantage of iOS4's multitasking APIs. Big plus for me however, is that the two apps that I use most, and require to have the most multitasking ability, were updated before I purchased the phone: Pandora & TomTom.

With a clearly communicated vision joomla could easily become the most flexible & robust CMS.

My vision for Joomla:
-Refactor the IA to include multi-level categories & tagging
-Completely redesign the UX - Jquery/mootools based AJAX backend. The backend needs to have a very clear conceptual model that relates to the way the information will be presented. One of the biggest problems is that I frequently have to figure our what a radio button does by "trial and error = try this, save, refresh the frontend"
-Make the core bare essentials with a clear purpose - let 3rd party developers extend (they're better @ it anyways)
-Have 2 Joomla! versions - one that had current functions (a "starter pack") & 1 with bare minimal ("expert pack")

My main problem is that the current generation of Joomla! suffers from terrible usability - As a frequent admin & designer, I frequently have to (re)remember how to get stuff done in Joomla. I cannot expect my clients to be able to figure out how to use Joomla, I have to make tutorial videos to explain the frontend! The Backend is even more confusing and I think that it was OK 3 years ago - but it is time to see a new paradigm in Joomla usability.

I've had problems with it not connecting to my data plan - it says "Check your data connection" and upon checking - I find that I have a fully functional internet connection - WLS just doesn't connect...

OVERALL - This is a GREAT APP! Very usable and useful - I have been missing it now that it won't connect to MS Servers

Re: Joomla 1.6 SEF: Smarter than humans

I think the first 2 option should definitely be re-written to be more clear. Even perhaps include a javascript demo of what a URL will look like underneath. Have it changed based on URL rewriting ON/OFF.

As for adding logic to determine if index.php is necessary - that could be done when the SEF urls are toggled ON/OFF.
