joomla Summer of Code 2009 Project Ideas

ในส่วนของ Project ที่คนไทยเป็น Mentor มี 3 Project

Full Frontend Editing

Right now we only have frontend editing for articles, there are a few improvements I can propose

• Article editing is done in a modal popup
• Edit module content and params from frontend (Editing done via a modal popup?)
• Article Title - edit in place
• Create some kind of a library function which allows easy frontend editing for any value (This will need some thought)

Mentor: Akarawuth Tamrareang (subject to change)

Skills Needed: Javascript, Joomla! Framework

Media Manager Improvements

The following improvements could be made to the current Joomla! Media Manager:

• Support content expiration (image/video) that allow user to set start – end date of each content which to be lived on site
• e.g. food image can be lived on site only 3 months, due to the license issue, so we need to take out the image and replace it with other default image or leave it blank
• Support user friendly input interface which allow user to complete content input in 1 screen (Text input, Multiple images/videos upload, Tagging, Mapping related content and so on)

Elgg Platform integration into Joomla!

Elgg was providing an elegant and powerful solution for anyone who wants to create their own online community. Elgg is free and open source and powers all kinds of social networks - from education and business to martial arts and rugby. If you are looking for a professional social intranet or just want to run a site for your fishing club, Elgg is a great choice. The idea is to develop a bridge between elgg and Joomla. More info about elgg can be found from the following websites: elgg official website elgg community online elgg Documentation

Some of the steps, which will need to be done to complete this project:

• synchronize user between elgg and Joomla!
• develop module for Joomla! to show Users Activity
• develop module for Joomla! to show Members photo from Elgg
