Latest News

Late last week two vulnerabilities of medium severity in Joomla 2.5/3.0 were reported by Joomla.

A fix has been released, and Alltraders recommend upgrading as soon as possible.

Greetings visitors and clients alike,

Due to the Anzac Day Holiday tomorrow, the Alltraders Web department will be having an extended weekend this week, and will not be available to return your emails or calls on Thursday or Friday.

However, if in the next two days you encounter any major issues, please call / email us and leave us a message, and we will respond as soon as we can.

Since the start of the year, Alltraders has been flat-stick with work from new and existing clients alike. What has unusually stood out during this time period has been number of Content Management System websites (Joomla and Wordpress) which had been compromised by either groups or individuals looking to unleash mischief on any target they can access. The annoying part of these attacks, is that many could have been prevented through simple maintenance and updates.

Like with a car requiring frequent servicing, websites require updates to their software to ensure that all publicly aware exploits and general nasties are either repaired or removed and unused elements are removed.

The below 5 areas are essential in making a website as hard to access as possible to malicious use. If you do not know how to do these, I would recommend giving us a call to ensure they have been deployed to your Joomla! website.

Joomla 3.0 has been released to the masses from the confines of it's beta built cell.. How is it in the wild? How does it compare to previous versions? What can 2013 bring with Joomla now being the only CMS with mobile compatibility straight out of the box?

The next Joomla User Group Adelaide hopes to answer these questions and more, and will be held on Tuesday the 12th of February, 2013 at Alltraders from 6pm.

Hi Everyone,

2012 has been a year full of exciting new projects and changes for us here at Alltraders, as well as a year of some fantastic successes which now lay behind us.

We would like to extend a massive thank you to all of our customers new, current and continuing for the time you have allowed us to share in developing your businesses online.

A few customers I would like to personally thank and mention in particular however are The Grind, OxfamFair and Mercato. We had a lot of fun building these websites, and could not be happier with the outcome.

In case you have been wondering, like many businesses, Alltraders will be shutting down over the Christmas break. We close on the 24th of December and return to work most likely sunburnt on the 7th of January.

If you need urgent assistance during this time regarding hosting, email or website support, please email webdev@alltraders.com and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Thank you all once again for yet another fantastic year. We can't wait to see what 2013 brings!

The next Joomla User Group Adelaide meeting will be held on Tuesday the 9th of October 2012 from 6pm at PROBIZ. As usual there'll be a general open discussion, as well as a look at the exciting new Joomla 3.0.

We will have a short list of topics to cover, but why not let us know of any areas you would like discussed so we can add to the agenda. Last meeting was a great one for newbies, and August from Alltraders was kept busy all meeting answering good questions.

Please contact Greg Willson to notify of your intentions to make the meeting next Tuesday so he can set up correctly, and please bring $5 to cover pizza costs.

There is no denying that word of mouth is a powerful tool, and with the emergence of social networking, it has changed the way people communicate information online. A lot of companies make use of Twitter and Facebook to promote new products or to share upcoming sales. By using Facebook or Twitter to promote your business you're reaching an audience that wouldn't necessarily be visiting your businesses website every day.

With all of the hard work you're putting into keeping your website updated, why not allow your audience to share your content via various social networking site such as Linked In, Google Plus, Digg, Delicious, Facebook or Twitter. By placing a series of small buttons to your articles it increases the chances of your content being seen by a larger audience. 

We're thrilled to announce the launch of one of our most recent pet projects: Oxfam fair!

Oxfam Australia approached Alltraders with the task of creating a mobile-ready website for their new Fair brand. We determined that a responsive layout would be the best way to address these needs.

The primary goals of the website were to create awareness of and promote the fair range, as well as showing the human element to the brand with the stories of the producers behind the products.

The next Joomla User Group Adelaide meeting will be held on Tuesday the 14th of August 2012 from 6pm at Alltraders.

As usual there'll be a general open discussion, as well as a look at security, and the Joomla 3.0 alpha.

Please contact August if you're coming, and please bring $5 to cover pizza costs.
