A new version of groja.com is now online! Following is a list of the new features in the latest version:

• It is now built on joomla!, making the site more secure and easier to update.
  • The code uses joomla's API to implement the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern.
  • The site takes advantage of four user levels (unregistered, registered, author, and editor) each of which has increasing capabilities.
  • Using the mootools javascript framework (packaged with joomla) it condenses about 10-15 pages down to two! The mootools panes to allow presentation of multiple lists, forms, inforamtion, and option groups on a single page.
  • Now getting regular updates to joomla! automatically via the gentoo operating system's portage software management tool.
• Visitors don't have to be logged in to see an image of their personality - this version uses cookies to emulate storage of profiles and images in a database.
• Advanced users can post images to the site's content area.
• The quiz now contains 88 questions and contains a versioning mechanism that allows for changes down the road.
• It includes the ability to add a score based on percentages, using sliders based on the mootools framework.
• It uses a new template and component that allows users to customize how the site looks. Click on the More... option to try it!
• It displays google's adsense ads - so maybe we will see a return on this investment!

Finally, this version includes a gallery component, that will be enabled once there are enough images to put into one or more of them.
