Hi everyone,

Over the past year I have made numerous tutorials available for free on Youtube. I am now in the process of writing an eBook which details everything I know about Seblod. I am making an advanced copy of the first 2 chapters available for free to the Seblod community. You can download these chapters on my website: www.jamesmorrell.com

Looking forward to hearing what you think.

Cheers,

_jrmo

Nice work, James. It'll be of huge help to the Seblod newcomers. I'd suggest you turn it into a multimedia eBook, e.g. to embed the videos you've created (or create new ones that are perfectly aligned with the steps outlined in your book and use similar content so the readers can watch the video and then use the written steps to complete their scenarios).

I'm looking forward to reading about the more advanced functionalities, e.g. email notifications, templating, comments extensions w/ pagination, # of comments listed in the Intro view, etc.

Keep up the good work, man. Thx, P

Hi James, 

  • In first of all many thanks for your efforts and good work, I downloaded your eBook.
  • Answering you about your question "How much would you be willing to pay for a full "Learn Seblod" Ebook that contains everything I know about making websites with Joomla and Seblod?" : I think my opinion is too clear and I wrote it here in Paid Support and Seblod Pro topic. The eBook is the problem, not money (we are speaking about 10/30 $!). Money can be one way to solve the problem.
  • Then, I'm totally agree with MtnPavlas, I think also would be a good idea to have an online multimedia eBook always updated and logically built with Seblod :D that can be downloaded as pdf, so for example we can import that on our Google play book and bring it always with us.
  • Sure the advantages to have an "online" is that all times you solve a dubt you can clarify it in real time on the eBook and If you can answer to a question you can add it in real time.
In relation to the work you've already done (eBook and Video Tutorials), I have yet few requests for you:

  • 1 How to manage Seblod Article Introtext / Article fulltext ?
  • 2 How to add a downloadable file as an attachment to an Article Seblod ? May be is it better leave unmodified the default Seblod Article, copy it like "Seblod Article download" and then add needed modifications ? Or, is it better to use a wysiwyg "pro" features like JCE ?
  • 3 What is the right way to to manage Seblod forms ?
  • 4 How to modify User Registration Form and manage it in a Multisite Seblod system (each Site have its own personalized User Registration Form, always the same base + differents specific fields) ?

Again Many Thanks!

Hi James,


What you are doing is and will be very valuable to the community. I've already learned a lot from your free videos.


Of course it's better to have an option to pay and learn than not having where to learn from at all.


Thank you so much

Best regards

Ricco
