New users can purchase iJoomla Magazine for $49.95 for a limited time.

New features in Version 2.0.17

Magazine Menu Module:

This module can replace the "magazines" and "issues" modules. The advantage of this module is that it creates a menu module with all your magazines, all your issues, or both magazines and issues. Because each of the magazines and issues can have its own menu item, you can assign different modules to each issues or magazines, something that wasn’t possible before. On the module settings you can choose to either show only the magazines, only the modules or both. If you choose to show both then the issues of each magazine will be the sub-menus of the parent magazine. You can also assign the class for the magazine menu items and the issues menu items. By default they are the Joomla standard "main level" and "sublevel." If you want to use this menu module on top, you may want to remove these classes.

Path and languages problem:

If you use a language other than English, you can now convert your database to UTF8 using the DB encoding tab. This feature solves the problem with the path showing wrong characters.

More articles by this author:

Now you can hide "More articles by this author" for individual authors on the author general tab.
