This was my first foray into building an open source extension for the Joomla Content Management System way back in 2008! The project was pretty successful, I believe the component was installed on 100 or more websites! I did stop maintaining it around 2010, but for the purposes of the archives here is its original description:
Want to provide visitors with their horoscope or create your very own horoscope?
Guests can Choose from over 18 different horoscope types (singles, flirt, cat and dogscope are just a few of the types) that are provided via RSS feeds and updated automatically.
For an unbranded version (Jabode links removed and access to future commercial releases) please email me the via contact page
Requirements: Joomla CMS. Joomla Resources
Get it: Downloads Page See it in action: Demo (frontend only)
Multiple Horoscopes: Choose from over 18 Different Horoscopes (not including your own custom Horoscope) from various providers. Publish or unpublish certain horoscope feeds.
Appearance: Elegantly designed button interface to choose your sign from. Colors can be modified in the administrator control panel.
Caching: Horoscopes will automatically cache for the entire day to improve performance. No Need to set up a ‘cron’ job and limit your sites bandwidth.
