Joomla 3.5 and PHP 7 released, Chill Creations is ready!

Joomla 3.5 and PHP 7 are now both considered stable and have many benefits over older versions. The biggest benefit must be speed, a lot of web developers report that the combination of Joomla 3.5 and PHP 7 improves speed, the website and administrator loading times are improved significantly. 

The new versions of cciDEAL, ccNewsletter and ccInvoices should now run smoothly on Joomla 3.5 and PHP 7. I started testing the extensions on the new versions of Joomla 3.5 and PHP 7 some time ago, but there are always bugs that go unnoticed. These should be fixed now. 

cciDEAL: betere integratie met RSForm Pro

Als een Joomla webwinkel te ingewikkeld voor jou project/website is, kies je voor de cciDEAL integratie met RSForm Pro. Je bouwt dan gebruiksvriendelijk een formulier met RSForm Pro en laat iDEAL (en andere) betalingen verwerken via de integratie met cciDEAL. 

De afgelopen maanden heb ik de integratie tussen cciDEAL en RSForm Pro onder de loep genomen. Een aantal veelgevraagde verbeteringen zijn nu doorgevoerd en klaar voor gebruik! Installeer de laatste versie van cciDEAL en je kunt aan de slag, en bekijk in dit artikel wat er nieuw is.

MAJOR security update for Joomla 1.5 and up!

New in ccInvoices: Recurring invoices

After a long testing period I am happy to announce that ccInvoices now supports Recurring invoices! And because of that long testing period, the functionality should be stable and ready for use. In fact, multiple customers have been using it successfully for months now!

Integrations view improved in cciDEAL 4.4.x

cciDEAL will try to update all integration plugins you have installed in the site when you update cciDEAL. But in the case that does not work there is a smart “Integrations” view. It shows you all possible cciDEAL integrations and their status: enabled or disabled, current versions, access type and plugin ID. You do not have to search between all Joomla plugins in the Extension Manager, just visit Components > cciDEAL > Integrations.

There are also links to directly download a plugin (so you can view the code or install it manually) and a direct link to the integration manual. The idea of the integrations view is that you can save time and keep your iDEAL integration healty!

More improvements in cciDEAL 4.4.x series

I am constantly improving cciDEAL based on customer feedback and suggestions. So in new versions you might find small usability improvements, but also large code refactorings. Every time you update, in a few easy steps via the Joomla Extension Manager, you get better and more user friendly software. Below I have listed a few of the changes in the latest versions of cciDEAL.

Watchful now supports Chill Creations, so save time updating Joomla websites

With the latest versions of my extensions, Watchful can now also update all instances of cciDEAL, ccNewsletter and ccInvoices on the various sites you maintain. But that’s not all, this pro-user tool has many superpowers!

Add MisterCash as payment method to RSForm Pro + video

Je kunt eenvoudig Bancontact als betaalmethode tonen in RSForm Pro formulieren. Ik heb daarvoor een kleine plugin en aanpassing in cciDEAL gemaakt. Het is wel belangrijk dat je iDEAL account (Rabo OmniKassa, Mollie) meerdere betaalmethoden en Bancontact ondersteunt natuurlijk!
