Integrating ScreenSteps with Joomla

During our webinar today on new ScreenSteps 2.7 features (learn more about ScreenSteps), a customer asked about Joomla integration. The question comes up every once in a while and I actually had investigated ScreenSteps and Joomla integration a while back. I remembered that one of our customers was able to get it to work after jumping through a number of hoops.

After the webinar was over Greg and I started discussing Joomla and I decided to look into it again. It turns out there is a great Movable Type plugin for Joomla. Since ScreenSteps uses the Movable Type API to post content to TypePad and Movable Type, the Joomla Movable Type plugin works perfectly with ScreenSteps.

I’ve posted a new manual on Integrating ScreenSteps with Joomla that will walk anyone through the process with Joomla 1.5. You will be publishing visually rich tutorials to Joomla from within ScreenSteps in no time.

I will mention that the ease of creating the manual in ScreenSteps while installing the plugin, and then instantly publishing to ScreenSteps Live brought a smile to my face.
