New features include:

• added possibility to add title for images and copyright (as were asked by the current subscribers)
• added possibility to add unlimited number of images (instead of limited 4 images)

Ongoing subscribers may find the new version in the members area. The subscription can be prolonged there as well.

The new version of JoomPortfolio that was released today includes the following enhancements and fixes:

• new field types to describe the portfolio elements (text field, textarea, email field)
• the component now supports content plugins which means that now content which is shown with our survey is handled by all content plugins (and this allows to use all built-in Joomla features)
• we've added meta-data for portfolio items (metadescription, metakeys, author)
• we fixed the way titles are handled (title section now shows the name of the section, category and element)
• SEO improvements (we've developed a plugin for ArtioJoom Sef)
• and we fixed uploading images issues

Please take a minute to look at new features we’ve implemented in our Joomla! components and are planning to do in the next couple of months:

SURVEY FORCE DELUXE

• since version 2.2.1 the component supports content plugins which means that now content which is shown with our survey is handled by all content plugins (and this allows to use all built-in Joomla features)
• version 2.2.1 also contains a content plugin for the survey component which means that now you can insert surveys right into your content articles (to do that you’ll need to install the plugin and publish it, next go to the article and insert a tag {surveyforce id=1} where 1 is the id of the survey which can be looked up in the survey management section)

For the next release we plan to add ‘assessments’ for surveys which represent the extended rules feature, i.e. these rules will allow to evaluate the answers to a survey right after it’s submitted and display the feedback to respondent based on this evaluation.

Imagine like you ask a set of questions about a user’s skills and interests, and depending on the answers there are 3 variants of the job you’d suggest he’ll be best at, so a survey will show one of 3 variants that suits the user based on what he answered.
