I've got a second release of my Preview Package of enhancements for Joomla.
Note, the Preview Package is a bunch of different items. It's all on my website http://mandrillapp.com/track/click.php?u=11000867&id=f5dacb7cb485403e9ae34675d0ca7c79&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgary.mort.net%2F&url_id=314d64822e2519d31f0aa0986285c242b2ab0d73&tags=_all,_sendjoomla+2...@gary.mort.net This package includes the nifty, fun Raptor Editor plugin. Raptor is an HTML5 Editor that uses a top of the screen toolbar rather than embedded in the middle. It also gives you a better preview of what your content will look like since it displays it to you in an editable div - not a textarea. Also just because I had it lying around, I stuck a syslog plugin in which redirects your log data to an external server. This will redirect your Joomla! logs to a Syslog server. I always find it a pain to try to track down where and how someone broke into a site because the ones breaking in erase logfiles. By logging everything on an external server they can't do that! This way I have an audit log of everything. Another added plus is that during development I can keep a second web browser open and see all the log entrees, profile messages, etc as they occur. For that, I subscribe toPapertrail <https://papertrailapp.com/?thank=2f2756> While I COULD setup my own rsyslog server and all, Papertrail makes it easy. Most sites will probably be in the free category of usage even with maximum logging. If not, I highly recommend upgrading the account - the peace of mind in knowing my logs are safe is enormousness. And for Developers, there is the second release of my JProfile enhancements. By changing JEventDispatcher I've added the following log lines: Application 0.003 seconds (+0.003); 1.00 MB (+0.359) - onCreateEvent:onAfterSessionStart Tracks when a plugin event was created(ie the plugin helper imports plugins in a group) -this allows you to see ALL Joomla Plugin events with listeners regardless of whether or not there is a listener for it. Application 0.003 seconds (+0.000); 1.00 MB (+0.002) - onAttachTo:onAfterSessionStart::By:Object::JSite And here you get some tracking data on who is listening for an event to happen. onAttatchis not an event, but the PluginHelper attaching a listener to the dispatcher. onAfterSessionStart is the event being listened for. It was attached by the JSite object -NOT A PLUGIN. The Application object($application = JFactory->getApplication()) is listening DIRECTLY to the event. Plugins are not the only objects which can listen for events. Application 0.059 seconds (+0.056); 1.17 MB (+0.172) - onTriggerStart_onAfterSessionStart Application 0.059 seconds (+0.000); 1.18 MB (+0.007) - onTriggerFunction_JSite::000000002d4d802d00000000715c9f1a Application 0.060 seconds (+0.000); 1.19 MB (+0.006) - onTriggerDone_onaftersessionstart Here you see the time when the onAfterSessionStart is triggered, time each listener for the event is executed, and when they have all completed. Makes it soooo much easier to track down a performance hogging plugin. One tester reported that he was able to pinpoint a LESS css compiler plugin as the source of a 3 second delay on page load! Fun stuff.
