Gary Mort has just published his first extensions for Joomla!

Actually, we developed them as a team - I had the problem, and Gary had the
solution.

One client had problems with being logged out. I didn't know if it was a
problem with the joomla site or with the phpbb bridge. Gary wrote a simple
plugin, based on code from Remember Me, to keep the session alive until the
brower closed. Instructions are included on gothaminformatics.com along with
the download link. Client is happy.

The second extension arose from my need for a quick template edit.
Redesigned a login module, only to find there was a template override, and I
was editing the wrong module. Gary's plugin shows the file path for modules
and components through View Source. According to Gary, "The Corehack system
plugin modifies, yet separately maintains, the module helper and component
view, when enabled. In other words, it hacks the core files, but it stores
the hacked files in seperate directories. So it doesn't overwrite the files
- if you uninstall the plug in you aren't left with hacked files."

Take a look and tell us what you think.
