Welcome to FJ Website!
The goal is to provide some handy and free extensions to the Joomla! community.
FJ Events Newsletter
This new extension allows you to create a newsletter-type layout that pulls events from a JEvents calendar. If you use JEvents for your events calendar and you also send out a newsletter that lists these events, then this extension might save you a lot of time. You can create a layout that lists the events in a simple newsletter format.
Key features include:
- Automatically list events from your JEvents calendar.
- Optional introduction article let's you create a custom introduction to your events newsletter.
- Sort events by JEvents category or by date.
User documentation is available at the tutorial page. You can download this extension here: http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/freejoomla/frs/.
FJ Related Articles Component
This new extension allows you to create blog and list layouts showing articles based on keywords and author. The layouts are similar to the standard Category Blog and Category List layouts. However, articles are selected based on a combination of keywords, author, and author alias. This allows tremendous flexibility in selecting groups of articles for display. Using it, you can create a blog or list based on author, based on manually tagged articles, or based on any combination of keywords and author. This frees you from the restriction of the Section / Category hierarchy of Joomla! and allows you to create the equivalent of sub-sections and many-to-many relationships. One article can be included into multiple layouts, and articles can be easily re-classified just by editing their keywords.
Key features include:
- Enter desired keywords and author information into a "selected" article. These are used to select articles for the blog or list layout.
- Select articles matching any keywords or only articles matching all keywords or only articles with exactly the same keyword list.
- Include author or author alias in the selection list.
- Limit the list of articles based on Section or Category.
- New! Can link to another FJ Related menu item instead of an article menu item.
To see some examples of how this works, check out the demo page. User documentation is available at the tutorial page. You can download this extension here: http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/freejoomla/frs/.

FJ Uncategorised Module

As of version 1.0.1, Feburary 2, 2009, you can now enter in an optional list of article ids to exclude from the module.
New Features added Feburary 2009:
- Option to exclude selected articles from the list.
- Option to show article preview in a tooltip.
- New! Option to exclude articles that are assigned to the Front Page.
You can download this extension here: http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/freejoomla/frs/
To install this extension, just download the single extension file (for example, mod_fjuncategorised_1.0.3.zip) and then install that file from Extensions -> Install/Uninstall in the Joomla! back end.
