Joomla! custom extension development
Building a Joomla! extension is sometimes better than choosing an existing Joomla! extension. But then, not all programmers are familiar with concepts like singletons, MVC and overrides. Why not hire the experts of Yireo to get the job done quickly, in full compliance with the Joomla! Framework coding standards?

Backgrounds
When you put a demo-site live, you need to consider various things. Ofcourse the security aspect is vital: You need to make sure users can only access those parts of Joomla! that are vital, protecting other parts. One high risk is that you leave open the Joomla! Media Manager - a hacker could easily misuse this by uploading various scripts.
This plugin - as of yet - only offers a simple message that is displayed on the top of the screen. However, our goal is to add more security countermeasures as well to this plugin.
Installation
- To install this plugin, download it from the download-section on this site to your computer.
- Then install the ZIP file from within the Joomla! Administrator as a regular extension.
- Next go to the Plugin Manager to enable this system-plugin. It is listed as "System - Demo".
Usage
The message-text can be modified through the plugin parameters within the Joomla! backend. If you want to modify the CSS-code involved, you can either override the CSS in your own template-files or add a new CSS-override file:
templates/YOURTEMPLATE/css/plg_demo/default.css

Dynamic404
Whoops, a page not found. But instead of displaying an ugly error, why not help your visitors find the right page? Or even better: Let Joomla! find the right page for you.
HTTP Authentication
Development sites are sometimes hosted on publicly available sites, while access is still unwanted. This plugin allows for HTTP authentication based on Joomla! users.
