Facebook Application Development
Well, with the changes that facebook has made to it’s software, it’s been frustrating to get things working and to learn how to create facebook applications. It’s so good when it finally does work.
I’ve been creating a few facebook applications… they aren’t ready for wide spread use, they aren’t yet applications that will bring in any money or prizes, not yet. Yet, they are coming along and this will make a difference… this is a good direction for Future Wave Designs. We can support our clients and will support future clients with social media marketing and the tools that exist for businesses to use the social web effectively.

A basic overview of Kunena for beginners – Kunena
From Kunena
Jump to: navigation, search
Kunena’s My Discussions View
Kunena is a Joomla 1.5 native forum component that allows you to quickly deploy a community forum to your Joomla based website. We have taken great care in testing as much as possible.
As a component to Joomla, Kunena integrates deeply into the framework of Joomla. User management, Registration, Login/Logout, menus, modules and much more are leveraged through Joomla itself.
Rather than having to write the whole framework, Kunena concentrates on the essentials of a well integrated forum on top of the leading Content Management Platform available today.
Kunena’s Category View
Kunena has been designed to be a simple to use, yet sophisticated CMS based forum platform that grows with your needs. The tight integration with Joomla allows for cross customisations options that no bridged solution can ever offer.
The front end integrates into the Joomla template system and extends it with custom forum templates. Kunena 1.5.x by default comes with the default_ex template. It has been evolving over time to a very powerful and flexible template. Most adjustments to its look and feel require no to little coding and can be accomplished by modifying the CSS and image sets provided with the application.
Even better, Kunena comes configured with a sample database that allows you to get up and running without having to make any changes at all! From the moment you install Kunena your forum is alive. All you need to do is create a menu item on your Joomla website and you up-and-running immediately. What could be simpler?
But, in case you do need to make changes – and that’s really what this Wiki is all about – there are articles written here that will help you backed up by active, informative and up-to-the-minute information in the Kunena project’s own forum.
Kunena Frontend
Kunena’s Thread/Topic View
The front-end in Kunena – also the Joomla front-end, is what your regular users will see on a daily basis. It represents the public interface to your community forum.
It leverages the installed templates and settings you choose to present a sophisticated forum solution to your registered users as well as guests. Whether to make a forum public, private, read only and so on – is in your control based on the Joomla and Kunena settings you choose.
You are able to differentiate between registered users, administrators, moderators as well as guests and can customise the experience for them.
Through the use of Joomla extensions, you have a wide variety of options available, and we encourage you to check the Joomla Extension Directory for addition packages that fit your needs.
Kunena Backend
Kunena’s Joomla Backend
The Kunena back-end inside the Joomla back-end of your site, is the place where you manage and adjust the settings and configuration of Kunena. In order to get there, you have to log onto the back-end of Kunena with a userid that has the proper access levels assigned to it.
Please see the Joomla Documentation for more information on how to access the administrative interface.
Kunena provides you with an easy to use, yet feature rich administrative interface, known as the Control Panel, that allows you to customise the appearance and settings of your forum install. You can select from various different templates, decide who and how can access and contribute to your community, integrate with third party components like Community Builder for various different integration options.
The administrative interface allows for changes to the core behavior of Kunena, the integration of images, videos and even live eBay items.
Kunena’s Backend Administration
Once you have selected the configuration settings of your choice (they can be changed and adjusted at any point in time) you can move on to define the category structure of your community forum. Categories are the individual boards of your site.
You might setup a Welcome Mat for new members to introduce themselves, and various other categories that help you organise and group the content into meaningful sections. Kunena has a very powerful category system that supports the creation of nested categories, categories inside other categories.
This features allows you to build an entire tree of sections and sub sections and assigned moderators at any level in that tree.
Within the user administration you have control over individuals settings and their avatars, making it simple to make adjustments as your site lives and grows. In addition you can define additional or new user forum rankings, edit smileys, check all uploaded files and images on your system and perform common site management tasks.
Overall Kunena overs a wide variety of settings that allow you to make the installation your very own.
Now that you have a very basic understanding of Kunena we would like to suggest for you to browse the Documentation Category for additional in-depth details on how to setup and configure Kunena.
This is the forum software that I installed on Word Salad.

July 18th, 2010 | Author: Bruce Whealton | EditI should talk about an update to my blog also. I’ll do that in my next post.
The Angel of Death – Poetry by Jean Jones
I just published a pdf version of this collection with three recent additions by Jean Jones to his long running collection of poetry. Jean had asked me over a week ago to do
this. Well, it’s finally available on Word Salad. You can find it by going here and then selecting it from the list. The heading to this paragraph has a link that goes right to the publication. It is in pdf format for printing or download. Perhaps there will be a second edition with more poems and maybe some kind of additional material.A New Look for Word Salad
Perhaps we even need a new name for the site… not really. The site is named Word Salad. We have a quarterly poetry publication called Word Salad Poetry Magazine (we also have a quarterly of Haiku called Haiku Ramblings). You will also find a few back issues of Word Salad Poetry Magazine in our archives. Actually, we only have the poetry from the past issues available. Much of the rest of the content was duplicated with each edition. Word Salad as a website is larger now. We publish much more on the website. As noted in the above paragraph, we have numerous poetry collections available on the site.
In addition, I see this as becoming a community site with various resources. I have installed a wiki, similar to what you see on wikipedia.org. I called it Wordopedia for Word Salad’s wiki. We just articles to be written for this. I’ve installed “Community Builder” to make the site into a “Community” website. Users can enter a fuller profile and many more features will be available for interacting with others. More on this later.
I have tried to include many of the exciting features of today’s Social Web. As a web designer/developer professional working today, I have to take advantage of all these resources and it only seems natural to share what I am learning.
For social image file sharing (sharing pictures) I use flickr.com and use that to host images that are displayed on Word Salad. My home page, as it were, on flickr is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/brucewhealton/ and my profile on flickr is here: http://www.flickr.com/people/brucewhealton/.
