- 3. What is Joomla? Joomla is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular Web site software available. Best of all, Joomla is an open source solution that is freely available to everyone. Joomla Introduction In 2001 an Australian company developed a cms named mambo, two versions of the cms where published , the commercial(MCSM) version and the open source version MOS)., the open source version experienced a great success . Joomla History ? In order to secure the existence and the continued development of Mambo, there were deliberations on all sides in the course of the year 2005 to establish a foundation for the open-source version of Mambo. On August 10, 2005 it finally happened: The Mambo Foundation was announced on the Mambo project page. After the positive reactions in the first few hours, it quickly became obvious that Miro in Australia established the foundation and that the developer team had not been included into the incorporation modalities. Heated discussions erupted in the forums of the community and the developer team wrapped itself in silence for a few long days. So Miro no longer had a development team, and the development team decided to develop a new cms called joomla which is based on Mambo.

- 8. Features Overview Joomla is so much more than just a powerful content management system. Here is a list of features "out of the box," but the true power of Joomla is in its extensibility. User Management Joomla has a registration system that allows users to configure personal options. There are nine user groups with various types of permissions on what users are allowed to access, edit, publish and administrate. Authentication is an important part of user management and Joomla support multiple protocols, including LDAP, OpenID, and even Gmail. This allows users to use their existing account information to streamline the registration process. Media Manager The Media Manager is the tool for easily managing media files or folders and you can configure the MIME type settings to handle any type of file. The Media Manager is integrated into the Article Editor tool so you can grab images and other files at any time. Language Manager There is international support for many world languages and UTF-8 encoding. If you need your Web site in one language and the administrator panel in another, multiple languages are possible. Banner Management It's easy to set up banners on your Web site using the Banner Manager, starting with creating a client profile. Once you add campaigns and as many banners as you need, you can set impression numbers, special URLs, and more. Joomla features
- 9. Contact Management The Contact Manager helps your users to find the right person and their contact information. It also supports multiple contact forms going to specific individuals as well as groups. Polls If you want to find out more about your users, it's easy to create polls with multiple options. Search Help navigate users to most popular search items and provide the admin with search statistics. Web Link Management Providing link resources for site users is simple and you can sort them into categories, even count every click. Content Management Joomla's simplified three-tiered system of articles makes organizing your content a snap. You can organize your content any way you want and not necessarily how it will be on your Web site. Your users can rate articles, e-mail them to a friend, or automatically save a PDF (with UTF-8 support for all languages). Administrators can archive content for safekeeping, hiding it from site visitors. On public Web sites, built-in e-mail cloaking protects email addresses from spambots. Creating content is simple with the WYSIWYG editor, giving even novice users the ability to combine text, images in an attractive way. Once you've created your articles, there are a number of pre-installed modules to show the most popular articles, latest new items, newsflashes, related articles, and more. Syndication and Newsfeed Management With Joomla, it's easy to syndicate your site content, allowing your users to subscribe to new content in their favorite RSS reader. It's equally easy to integrate RSS feeds from other sources and aggregate them all on your site Joomla features
- 10. Menu Manager The Menu Manager allows you to create as many menus and menu items as you need. You can structure your menu hierarchy (and nested menu items) completely independent of your content structure. Put one menu in multiple places and in any style you want; use rollovers, dropdown, flyouts and just about any other navigation system you can think of. Also automatic breadcrumbs are generated to help navigate your site users. Template Management Templates in Joomla are a powerful way to make your site look exactly the way you want and either use a single template for the entire site or a separate template for each site section. The level of visual control goes a step further with powerful template overrides, allowing you to customize each part of your pages. Integrated Help System Joomla has a built-in help section to assist users with finding what they need. A glossary explains the terms in plain English, a version checker makes sure you're using the latest version, a system information tool helps you troubleshoot, and, if all else fails, links to a wealth of online resources for additional help and support. Web Services With Web services, you can use Remote Procedure Calls (via HTTP and XML). You can also integrate XML- RPC services with the Blogger and Joomla APIs. Powerful Extensibility These are just some of the basic Joomla features and the real power is in the way you customize Joomla.

- 20. Extension Types and Their Uses A Joomla! extension is anything that extends Joomla!'s functionality beyond the core. There are three main types of extension: components, modules, and plugins. Joomla extensions There are also languages and templates, but these are solely designed to modify page output, irrespective of the data being displayed Joomla Extension Directory
- 21. Some Examples Modules Modules typically make up the elements of a sidebar or content menus. Modules complement the content contained in a component; they are not intended to be the main substance of a page. Modules are installed through the control panel , they dont manipulate any data form the database all what they do is display content like in this example this module displays the weather. http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/ More commercial and non commercial modules can be found here Joomla extensions
- 22. Some Examples http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/ More commercial and non commercial plug-ins can be found here Plug-Ins When a piece of code is needed throughout the site, it is best implemented as a plug-in (formerly called a Mambot). Plug-ins are commonly used to format the output of a component or module when a page is built. Some examples of plug-ins include keyword highlighting, article comment boxes, and JavaScript-based HTML editors. Plug-ins can also be used to extend the results found in the core search component. The back-end controls are similar to those of modules. ReadMoreExt can automatically add articles introduction's images hyper links, and the hyper links will link to the complete article, just like the ReadMore link. It applies to front page, section and category blog layout. ReadMoreExt This plugin forces user's registration to be approved first by an administrator. The user email is first verified, then the administrator will approve the registration. The template must include a position for the Message Multilingual registration approval
