CedTag has been updated to version 2.5.5 and correct a lot of bugs and contains some nice new features.
CedTag is the continuation of the GPL component #Joomla Tags (www.joomlatags.org), Most of the code if not all has been now rewritten according to the new standard of #Joomla 2.5, the component has been greatly extended and most bugs have been removed. I will continue removing, refactoring existing codebase, in order to be able to add new features faster.

In this series of post I will outline some common techniques to help Joomla extensions development.
As you know #Joomla is shipped with Mootools library which assign $ also to Ajax. Here is 2 tips that will allow you to use jQuery scripts without any modifications (most of the time you will find tips to assign jQuery to something else than $ and rewrite your scripts)
First it is recommended to include always mootools first to avoid jQuery conflict issues
JHTML::_('behavior.mootools'); $document = JFactory::getDocument(); $document->addScript(JURI::root() . "media/com_cedtag/js/jquery.1.7.2.min.js");
then to run jQuery in noConflict mode. Note that here I do not assign jQuery to any alias.
$document->addScriptDeclaration("jQuery.noConflict();");
Till here, this is what you will find on all #Joomla forums, posts over the internet. The last tips is what make the difference!
Instead of using a different alias for the jQuery object (when using noConflict), you can write your jQuery code by wrapping it all in a closure. This can be done in the document.ready function
$script = "jQuery(function($) { $();
});"; $document->addScriptDeclaration($script);
This way you are not force to rewrite your scripts to use another alias (replacing $ with jquery alias for example in all your scripts). This make inclusion of jQuery really easy!
Happy Coding!

SecurityImages has been updated to version 6.0.3 and correct 1 bugs for both #Joomla 1.7 and #Joomla 2.5.
BUG: If enabled for Contacts, it prevents a backend administrator from saving contact details in the backend. It fails with a captcha error. This is because SecurityImages 6.0.2 and previous was enforcing a captcha entry, yet the backend cannot facilitate the display of the captcha.
