Joomla!Dagen is happening this Saturday and Sunday (20-21 April) and Director Ruth Cheesley will be representing Virya Software as a speaker at this popular well-attended Joomla!Day event.

Virya Software are delighted to announce the imminent release of Virya Cookie Monster (VCM) - a Joomla! extension which assists developers, designers and site owners in complying with the EU Cookie Laws. (read full details here - PDF file)

From 12th May 2012, all UK companies registered with the Information Commissioners' Office (ICO) must be in compliance with these laws - failure to do so could result in a fine of up to £500,000, so this is really something that must be taken extremely seriously by all organisations who have a website.

Virya Software launches

Written by

As you may have noticed, we recently launched Virya Software - part of Virya Technologies where we release our software and share other resources.

Our first release is a re-written for Joomla! 1.7 extension - HTML Map 2.  This was re-written due to a client requiring this on a 1.7 site, however we can see the benefit of opening it up to others (as we've already used it on three other sites since commissioning the work!

We were caught a little on the back foot, as we weren't expecting the submission to the Joomla! Extensions Directory to be approved quite as quickly as it was, so please bear with us as we get everything up and running.  The following are top of our priority list:

  • Screenshots of the extension, swiftly followed by
  • Demo of front and back end
  • Documentation on setting up the component, module and plugin
Please report any bugs on the forum and we'll get them fixed as soon as possible.
