New and easy checkout with Paypal on Joomlajunkie.com

Based on popular demand from our members (and because it’s finally possible in our country) we recently implemented a new payment and checkout system on joomlajunkie.com – Paypal. This means the checkout process is now super quick and easy.

Our previous payment system accepted both credit cards and Paypal, but it wasn’t a quick one-page checkout like it is now. We believe getting access to the product you want should only take a few clicks and no brain-power. The previous payment system just didn’t meet those requirements. While Paypal lets customers pay via a credit card, their paypal balance or from a linked bank account, however we were worried that this change of payment system wouldn’t be a perfect fit for everybody. So, there was only one way to find out: to ask the people who’s opinion matters the most. (more…)

RTL (Right to Left) Support in Morph

Something we’ve been discussing internally for some time, is making Morph (our much anticipated new template framework) 100% RTL compatible. RTL stands for Right to Left and refers to the direction of a websites contents – this is generally used for websites that are written in Arabic, Hebrew, etc. Here is a brief description of RTL on Wikipedia.org:

“Bi-directional text is used as some writing systems of the world, notably the Arabic (including variants such as Nasta’liq), Persian and Hebrew scripts, are written in a form known as right-to-left (RTL), in which writing begins at the right-hand side of a page and concludes at the left-hand side. This is different from the left-to-right (LTR) direction used by most languages in the world. (more…)
