Does anyone know if a Pubsubhubbub plugin for Joomla exists? For example, I found the following plugins for Wordpress and Drupal:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pubsubhubbub/
http://drupal.org/project/push_hub
I did search before asking :) , but I couldn't find anything.
Thanks for the help!
I do not know of any... even though I contribute heavily to the PubSubHubbub community. On the other end, it should really be quite easy to create one.
There are a couple 'Pinging' modules like Easy Ping or Blog Ping (I didn't test any though), which should be easy to fork into doing PubSubHubbub pings to hubs.

The first two links from a quick google search indicate that it's possible to work on a project via cloud9 while offline.
Is this possible to do, and has anyone had any experience with it? There doesn't seem to be anything mentioned in the docs.
I'm working on a chromebook and was hoping that this could be a possibility.
Thanks.
Note, the two links I found were:

Sadly this is not possible yet. There are new offline APIs being designed and we hope to make use of them in the future.

I'm a web designer and so I learnt everything essential needed for designers and now I can design the websites using joomla.
But I want to move myself to programmer. I have very basic knowledge of php and mysql. I wanted to know how can I enter into development with joomla.
Joomla has been very popular in the world but also it has not implemented so much effort for the users. It is providing a tutorial but randomly, so I'm confused how to start. There is no any sites step by step tutorials for joomla.
So, anyone please help me how to start on the topics. Could anyone provide a lists what to learn as to become a developer of joomla?
Well first of all, you need to know about the versions.
There are 2 types of Joomla releases. Long Term (Joomla 1.5 and 2.5) and Short Term (Joomla 3.x)
Joomla 1.5 is old and unsupported now so there is no need to look into it.
If you want to start developing for Joomla, then you simply need to read up on the documentation and start messing around with pre-made extensions. You will also need to do research on how MVC works if you are not already familiar with it.
Hope this helps
you can get help from a nice book such as Joomla! Programming
I am thinking of starting to learn Joomla 1.7 but don't know where to begin.
I am interested in learning to create blogs, e-commerce websites, forums and other type of websites. I know that there is probably a lot of learning involved but I am willing to commit.
I should also mention that my knowledge starts at XHTML\CSS and ends in Javascript\jQuery (and a bit of Java up to Swing), however I have never done any PHP/MySql programming.
Do I need to learn PHP and MySql before learning Joomla or I can start learning it now?
If I don't need to learn PHP and MySql first what book/tutorial/video tutorial would you recommend for someone who never used a CMS before and would like to learn it to its full extent?
I second the recommendation of the official documentation. http://docs.joomla.org/ overall a fantastic resource, although the wiki format can make navigation tricky. I recommend looking for and clicking the 'Category' links under any article - and/or clicking the back button when you've finished reading a page to go back to the category listing.
For free documentation I'd recommend Hagen Graf's 'books' available as free downloads from:
Here for the Joomla 1.6 version:
http://cocoate.com/joomla-16-english
Here for the Joomla 1.7 version
http://cocoate.com/2011/07/joomla-17-beginners-guide
There are other useful websites for learning to use Joomla:
http://www.compassdesigns.net/
http://www.alledia.com/
http://www.joomlablogger.com/
http://brian.teeman.net/
I've included the 1.6 documentation for anyone out there who is using that particular version, but there is no reason to stick with 1.6 as it is no longer supported.
Presentations by Jen Kramer: http://www.slideshare.net/jen4web
Presentations but Brian Teeman: http://www.slideshare.net/brianteeman
There are many other useful resources too - I'll probably return to this post and add some more resources later.
The official documentation is pretty good so I suggest your starting point should be here. As the documentation also suggests you should install XAMPP in order to run a local Joomla site for experimentation. XAMPP will get out of the way installing/configuring httpd, setting up PHP and MySQL.
I've put several Joomla sites together and I can guarantee you don't need to know PHP/MySQL to put something good together.
I was just reading about Magento, a free framework for easily creating an ecommerce site. I was wondering if anyone knew of a similar, easy to use framework that is designed specifically for social networking sites.
Thanks in advance for your wisdom!
I've seen a few people mention MonoX (based on ASP.Net), but I've not had a chance to evaluate it yet myself: http://www.mono-software.com/Pages/MonoX-ASP.NET-Portal-Framework.aspx
Ning.
Edit. The Ning business model is, they host your community for free and they get the revenue from adverts on the site. If you want to host it yourself you can, but you need to license the software.
Edit 2 I recommended Ning because I participate in a community hosted there. A minute's Googling through Elgg which seems to be more what you're looking for, but I haven't had an direct experience of it.
Laconi.ca (micro-blogging - which could be considered a subset of social networking). It's an open source option on which you could base a project (plugins have already been developed).
You could try something like JomSocial, which is built on top of Joomla.
Having just looked at this question again, you might find that Drupal is pretty useful in building a social networking site too.
We have recently built a private social network for a client, based on Drupal, and lots of the functionality is a pretty good match, particularly if you include modules such as User Relationships and Organic Groups.
I hope that helps!
