This version (9.9.10) is mainly a tweak and bugfix version, however it does add a few changes related to a new plugin that we will be introducing soon which offers some great new functionality for new sites.

Stay tuned for more updates on that, folks.

There are lots of changes in this version, including some great new features.

First off, the image handling has been updated in a number of ways. Up until now images were found by a class file that scanned the relevant directories. In this version image details can be saved to the database -you're prompted to import images in the administrator control panel. This speeds up the image detection process a lot. Secondly, we've added support for Amazon S3 / Cloudfront so that you can choose to save images offsite altogether. This again improves performance and bandwidth usage of the site.

Jomres 9.9.8 is available and it brings a couple of significant improvements.

The first is regarding property approvals. A feature request asked that we make it possible for site admins to see which properties had completed their property setup and give some visual indication of that in the administrator area property list. This would prevent site administrators from needing to constantly check on the progress of properties that are slow to get setup.

Preamble

Jomres is released under the GPL licenses. These licenses provide you, the user, with a wealth of freedoms.

Roughly, it means that the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software.

Indeed, as the lead developer I encourage my users to take the code and make the changes they want so that their system works for them, the way they want it to.

No software will ever be perfect for everybody, therefore I strive to make it as flexible as possible for the vast majority of our users. The entire system is designed so that third party plugins can override sections of the code in an upgrade safe way and I'm always looking at ways that we can improve this ( for example, see Template Override Packages in v9.9 ).

Jomres 9.9.1 has been released and we've added some funky new functionality for your property managers.

The Property Manager's dashboard has been updated to add Widgets to the Property Manager's Control Panel, allowing them to add, remove and move widgets around to suit their own particular tastes.

Jomres 9.9.0 is now available through your CMS's update feature.

It's been a few months since 9.8.28, and we can assure you it's been worth the wait.

There're a ton of changes in this version, a lot of files have been renamed, administrator menus restructured and all round juicy stuff done. If you have customised any Jomres files, I strongly advise that you test the update on a development server first as some of these changes might trip you up if you've been a bit wild with your file editors.

The Jomres REST API documentation has been updated.

Up until now the endpoints have been available on our manual, here. Given that I do a lot of testing of the API through Postman, it makes sense to take advantage of Postman's functionality, which is way better than mine that's built into Jomres, therefore from now on the endpoints can be seen on our new server https://api.jomres.net/

We are delighted to announce that we have a new partnership with the developers of jDBexport.

jDBexport allows you to deliver any data from your databases (JOOMLA and others) as Excel documents directly to your users. Write any valid SQL query in the administration of this component and combine such queries into multiple Excel worksheets/workbooks. The query is executed when a user clicks the downloadlink (frontend or backend) and the current result of the query is delivered to the user as a downloadable Excel file (or any other of the below listed document formats).

As you may be aware, after months of work our new Beds24 ( V2 ) plugin is almost ready, and I'd like to invite our users to help us in the testing process.

The Beds24 (channel manager) v2 plugin has been completely re-written to take advantage of new functionality in Jomres, most notably the REST API and Webhook features. If you´re not familiar with this new functionalty, don´t worry about it, most of it happens in the background however it provides us with significant performance and feature benefits.

If you are willing to help us test V2 of the plugin, there are a few things you need to know.

Introduction

Jomres Core is Open Source software, it costs nothing to install it into an existing Joomla or Wordpress website and start using it, you do not need ioncube encoders to do this, so why do we say that sometimes you'll need ioncube encoders on your site?

Let me explain.
