Info: FlashFeed is a project that enables the use of Joomla as backend to Adobe Flash sites. It is possible to edit and post your content in Joomla and feed it into a Flash movie, making Joomla an advanced CMS backend.

Today I've released a 0.03 version of the Flashfeed release. This has been a big step towards making Flashfeed a "real" Joomla extension. This time I've created the extension as a Joomla installer so it's easy to install on your Joomla sites. Simply download the com_flashfeed_003.zip file in the "Downloads" area and install it.

If you want to use your Joomla site as a backend to Flash, I've also added some new Flash classes. These can also be downloaded in the "Downloads" area. If you can't figure out how to make it all work, open the Example.fla and you will see a working example.

New Features

The new features in this release are:

• All XML handling is now done by the JSimpleXML class, which makes it PHP4 friendly
• You can now load all frontpage articles
• Metadata is feeded in article views
• Included install package

If you're not using the Flash classes, simple call the following urls to feed xml. Off course  you have to target the index.php of your domain (e.g. www.yourjoomlasite.com/index.php......)

Article: (shows article with id = 1)

index.php?option=com_content&view=article&format=xml&id=1

Category: (shows all articles in category with id = 1)

index.php?option=com_content&view=category&format=xml&id=1

Sections: (shows all articles in section with id = 1)

index.php?option=com_content&view=section&format=xml&id=1

Frontpage: (shows all articles on frontpage)

index.php?option=com_content&view=frontpage&format=xml

Please remember that this is a 0.0x beta release, and use on production sites is at own risk!

The Flashfeed release works with SEF urls enabled and can be used with Joomfish. Simple write www.yourjoomlasite.com/en/index.php instead, and replace en with whatever language you have translated.

Go to the "Downloads" area to download the new release.
