The Legend of Buca di Beppo |
the-legend-of-buca-di-beppo |
|
<p>The legend of Buca di Beppo involves a covert meeting of key developers in a Mafia-style restaurant in the United States. 'Bucas' has on more than one occasion been the catalyst for key (and in some cases considered insurmountable) development 'humps' being overcome.</p><p>With copius amounts of food and wine flowing, the creative juices of coders seem to work keener, faster, and problems are solved. Louis Landry famously agreed that living near a Bucas could actually lead to faster development cycles.</p><p>Mmmm. A restaurant with photos of famous Mafia films like <em>The Godfather</em> and violin cases leaning against the booths. Makes you wonder, doesn't it? </p><p>If Joomla! was a commercial venture, we're sure management would actually consider building a Bucas inside the building!</p><p>Masterchief meet Bugsy Landry. </p> |

1 Million Smiles |
1-million-smiles |

A proper framework for real PHP architects seeking the best of the best.</p><p>If you're a former Mambo User or a 1.0 series Joomla! User, 1.5 is the future of CMSs for a number of reasons. It's more powerful, more flexible, more secure, and intuitive. Our developers and interface designers have worked countless hours to make this the most exciting release in the content management system sphere.</p><p>Go on ... get your FREE copy of Joomla! today and spread the word about this benchmark project. </p> |

Why does Joomla! 1.5 use utf-8 encoding? |
why-does-joomla-15-use-utf-8-encoding |
|
<p>Well... how about never needing to mess with encoding settings again?</p><p>Ever needed to display several languages on one page or site and something always came up in Giberish?</p><p>With utf-8 (a variant of Unicode) glyphs (character forms) of basically all languages can be displayed with one single encoding setting. </p> |

What happened to the locale setting? |
what-happened-to-the-locale-setting |
|
This is now defined in the Language [<em>lang</em>].xml file in the Language metadata settings. If you are having locale problems such as dates do not appear in your language for example, you might want to check/edit the entries in the locale tag. Note that multiple locale strings can be set and the host will usually accept the first one recognised. |

What is the FTP layer for? |
what-is-the-ftp-layer-for |
|
<p>The FTP Layer allows file operations (such as installing Extensions or updating the main configuration file) without having to make all the folders and files writable. This has been an issue on Linux and other Unix based platforms in respect of file permissions. This makes the site admin's life a lot easier and increases security of the site.</p><p>You can check the write status of relevent folders by going to ''Help->System Info" and then in the sub-menu to "Directory Permissions". With the FTP Layer enabled even if all directories are red, Joomla! will operate smoothly.</p><p>NOTE: the FTP layer is not required on a Windows host/server. </p> |

Can Joomla! 1.5 operate with PHP Safe Mode On? |
can-joomla-15-operate-with-php-safe-mode-on |
|
<p>Yes it can! This is a significant security improvement.</p><p>The <em>safe mode</em> limits PHP to be able to perfom actions only on files/folders who's owner is the same as PHP is currently using (this is usually 'apache'). As files normally are created either by the Joomla! application or by FTP access, the combination of PHP file actions and the FTP Layer allows Joomla! to operate in PHP Safe Mode.</p> |

Only one edit window! How do I create "Read more..."? |
only-one-edit-window-how-do-i-create-read-more |
|
<p>This is now implemented by inserting a <strong>Read more...</strong> tag (the button is located below the editor area) a dotted line appears in the edited text showing the split location for the <em>Read more....</em> A new Plugin takes care of the rest.</p><p>It is worth mentioning that this does not have a negative effect on migrated data from older sites. The new implementation is fully backward compatible.</p> |

My MySQL database does not support UTF-8. Do I have a problem? |
my-mysql-database-does-not-support-utf-8-do-i-have-a-problem |
|
No you don't. Versions of MySQL lower than 4.1 do not have built in UTF-8 support. However, Joomla! 1.5 has made provisions for backward compatibility and is able to use UTF-8 on older databases. Let the installer take care of all the settings and there is no need to make any changes to the database (charset, collation, or any other). |

Joomla! Overview |
joomla-overview |
|
<p>If you're new to Web publishing systems, you'll find that Joomla! delivers sophisticated solutions to your online needs. It can deliver a robust enterprise-level Web site, empowered by endless extensibility for your bespoke publishing needs. Moreover, it is often the system of choice for small business or home users who want a professional looking site that's simple to deploy and use. <em>We do content right</em>.<br /> </p><p>So what's the catch? How much does this system cost?</p><p> Well, there's good news ... and more good news! Joomla! 1.5 is free, it is released under an Open Source license - the GNU/General Public License v 2.0. Had you invested in a mainstream, commercial alternative, there'd be nothing but moths left in your wallet and to add new functionality would probably mean taking out a second mortgage each time you wanted something adding!</p><p>Joomla! changes all that ... <br />Joomla! is different from the normal models for content management software. For a start, it's not complicated. Joomla! has been developed for everybody, and anybody can develop it further. It is designed to work (primarily) with other Open Source, free, software such as PHP, MySQL, and Apache. </p><p>It is easy to install and administer, and is reliable. </p><p>Joomla! doesn't even require the user or administrator of the system to know HTML to operate it once it's up and running.</p><p>To get the perfect Web site with all the functionality that you require for your particular application may take additional time and effort, but with the Joomla! Community support that is available and the many Third Party Developers actively creating and releasing new Extensions for the 1.5 platform on an almost daily basis, there is likely to be something out there to meet your needs. Or you could develop your own Extensions and make these available to the rest of the community. </p> |

<h1>Support </h1><p>Support for the Joomla! CMS can be found on several places. The best place to start would be the official <a href="http://help.joomla.org/" target="_blank">Help Site</a>. Here you can help yourself to the information that is regularly published and updated as Joomla! develops. There is much more to come too! </p><p>Of course you should not forget the Help System of the CMS itself. On the <em>topmenu </em>in the Back-end Control panel you find the Help button which will provide you with lots of explanation on features. </p><p>Another great place would of course be the <a href="http://forum.joomla.org/" target="_blank">Forum</a> . On the Joomla! Forum you can find help and support from Community members as well as from Joomla! Core members and Working Group members. The forum contains a lot of information, FAQ's, just about anything you are looking for in terms of support.</p><p>Two other resources for Support are the <a href="http://dev.joomla.org/" target="_blank">Joomla! Developer Network</a> (JDN) and the <a href="http://extensions.joomla.org/" target="_blank">Joomla! Extensions Directory</a> (JED). The Developer Network for example provides lots of technical information for the experienced Developer as well as those new to Joomla! and development work in general. The JED whilst not a support site in the strictest sense has many of the Extensions that you will need as you develop your own Web site. </p><p>The Joomla! Core members are regularly posting their blog reports about several topics such as programming techniques used in Joomla!, Security, Events and more. You can even subscribe to get notified by e-mail when a new blog post is made! </p><h1>Documentation </h1><p>Joomla! Documentation can of course be found on the <a href="http://help.joomla.org/" target="_blank">Help Site</a>. You can find information such as an Installation Guide, User and Administrator manuals, Frequently Asked Questions and a lot more. The User Documentation Team are the guardians of the documentation relating to the practical use of Joomla!. The Developer Documentation Team are the stalwarts behind detailing how Joomla! works from the ground up and how you can develop your own Extensions and Templates and much more.</p><p>Other than the documentation provided by the Joomla! Documentation Work Groups there are also books written about Joomla! You can find a listing of these books in the <a href="http://help.joomla.org/content/section/44/254/" target="_blank">Joomla! Bookshelf</a> .</p><h1>Want to help? </h1><p>If you want to help in the documentation project for Joomla! then please post your details on the <a href="http://forum.joomla.org/viewforum.php?f=62" title="The Joomla! User Documentation Forums">User Documentation Forum</a> or the <a href="http://forum.joomla.org/viewforum.php?f=60" title="The Joomla!

<p class="MsoNormal">Joomla! runs on any platform including Windows, most flavours of Linux, several Unix versions, and the Apple OS/X platform. Joomla! depends on PHP and the MySQL database to deliver dynamic content. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">The minimum requirements are:</p> <ul><li>Apache 1.x, 2.x and higher</li><li>PHP 4.3 and higher</li><li>MySQL 3.23 and higher</li></ul>It will also run on alternative server platforms such as Windows IIS - provided they support PHP and MySQL - but these require additional configuration in order for the Joomla! core package to be successful installed and operated. |

Content Layouts |
content-layouts |
|
<p>Joomla! provides plenty of flexibility when displaying your Web content. Whether you are using Joomla! for a blog site, news or a Web site for a company, you'll find one or more content styles to showcase your information. You can also change the style of content dynamically depending on your preferences. Joomla! calls how a page is laid out a <strong>layout</strong>. Use the guide below to understand which layouts are available and how you might use them. </p> <h2>Content </h2> <p>Joomla! makes it extremely easy to add and display content. All content is placed where your mainbody tag in your template is located. There are three main types of layouts available in Joomla! and all of them can be customised via parameters. The display and parameters are set in the Menu Item used to display the content your working on. You create these layouts by creating a Menu Item and choosing how you want the content to display.</p> <h3>Blog Layout<br /> </h3> <p>Blog layout will show a listing of all Articles of the selected blog type (Section or Category) in the mainbody position of your template. It will give you the standard title, and Intro of each Article in that particular Category and/or Section. You can customise this layout via the use of the Preferences and Parameters, (See Article Parameters) this is done from the Menu not the Section Manager!</p> <h3>Blog Archive Layout<br /> </h3> <p>A Blog Archive layout will give you a similar output of Articles as the normal Blog Display but will add, at the top, two drop down lists for month and year plus a search button to allow Users to search for all Archived Articles from a specific month and year.</p> <h3>List Layout<br /> </h3> <p>Table layout will simply give you a <em>tabular </em>list<em> </em>of all the titles in that particular Section or Category. No Intro text will be displayed just the titles. You can set how many titles will be displayed in this table by Parameters. The table layout will also provide a filter Section so that Users can reorder, filter, and set how many titles are listed on a single page (up to 50)</p> <h2>Wrapper</h2> <p>Wrappers allow you to place stand alone applications and Third Party Web sites inside your Joomla! site. The content within a Wrapper appears within the primary content area defined by the "mainbody" tag and allows you to display their content as a part of your own site. A Wrapper will place an IFRAME into the content Section of your Web site and wrap your standard template navigation around it so it appears in the same way an Article would.</p> <h2>Content Parameters</h2> <p>The parameters for each layout type can be found on the right hand side of the editor boxes in the Menu Item configuration screen. The parameters available depend largely on what kind of layout you are configuring.</p> |

What are the requirements to run Joomla! 1.5? |
what-are-the-requirements-to-run-joomla-15 |
|
<p>Joomla! runs on the PHP pre-processor. PHP comes in many flavours, for a lot of operating systems. Beside PHP you will need a Web server. Joomla! is optimized for the Apache Web server, but it can run on different Web servers like Microsoft IIS it just requires additional configuration of PHP and MySQL. Joomla! also depends on a database, for this currently you can only use MySQL. </p>Many people know from their own experience that it's not easy to install an Apache Web server and it gets harder if you want to add MySQL, PHP and Perl. XAMPP, WAMP, and MAMP are easy to install distributions containing Apache, MySQL, PHP and Perl for the Windows, Mac OSX and Linux operating systems. These packages are for localhost installations on non-public servers only.<br />The minimum version requirements are:<br /><ul><li>Apache 1.x or 2.x</li><li>PHP 4.3 or up</li><li>MySQL 3.23 or up</li></ul>For the latest minimum requirements details visit the <a href="http://help.joomla.org" title="Joomla! Help Site">Joomla! Help Site</a> and <a href="http://forum.joomla.org" title="The Joomla! Community Forums">Forums</a> |

Extensions |
extensions |
|
<p>Out of the box, Joomla! does a great job of managing the content needed to make your Web site sing. But for many people, the true power of Joomla! lies in the application framework that makes it possible for developers all around the world to create powerful add-ons that are called <strong>Extensions</strong>. An Extension is used to add capabilities to Joomla! that do not exist in the base core code. Here are just some examples of the hundreds of available Extensions:</p> <ul> <li>Dynamic form builders</li> <li>Business or organisational directories</li> <li>Document management</li> <li>Image and multimedia galleries</li> <li>E-commerce and shopping cart engines</li> <li>Forums and chat software</li> <li>Calendars</li> <li>E-mail newsletters</li> <li>Data collection and reporting tools</li> <li>Banner advertising systems</li> <li>Paid subscription services</li> <li>and many, many, more</li> </ul> <p>You can find more examples over at our ever growing <a href="http://extensions.joomla.org" target="_blank" title="Joomla! Extensions Directory">Joomla! Extensions Directory</a>. Prepare to be amazed at the amount of exciting work produced by our active developer community!</p><p>A useful guide to the Extension site can be found at:<br /><a href="http://extensions.joomla.org/content/view/15/63/" target="_blank" title="Guide to the Joomla! Extension site">http://extensions.joomla.org/content/view/15/63/</a> </p> <h3>Types of Extensions </h3><p>There are five types of extensions:</p> <ul> <li>Components</li> <li>Modules</li> <li>Templates</li> <li>Plugins</li> <li>Languages</li> </ul> <p>You can read more about the specifics of these using the links in the Article Index - a Table of Contents (yet another useful feature of Joomla!) - at the top right or by clicking on the <strong>Next </strong>link below.<br /> </p> <hr title="Components" class="system-pagebreak" /> <h3><img src="images/stories/ext_com.png" border="0" alt="Component - Joomla! Extension Directory" title="Component - Joomla! Extension Directory" width="17" height="17" /> Components</h3> <p>A Component is the largest and most complex of the Extension types. Components are like mini-applications that render the main body of the page. An analogy that might make the relationship easier to understand would be that Joomla! is a book and all the Components are chapters in the book. The core Article Component (<font face="courier new,courier">com_content</font>), for example, is the mini-application that handles all core Article rendering just as the core registration Component (<font face="courier new,courier">com_user</font>) is the mini-application that handles User registration.</p> <p>Many of Joomla!'s core features are provided by the use of default Components such as:</p> <ul> <li>Contacts</li> <li>Front Page</li> <li>News Feeds</li> <li>Banners</li> <li>Mass Mail</li> <li>Polls</li></ul><p>A Component will manage data, set displays, provide functions, and in general can perform any operation that does not fall under the general functions of the core code.</p> <p>Components work hand in hand with Modules and Plugins to provide a rich variety of content display and functionality aside from the standard Article and content display. They make it possible to completely transform Joomla! and greatly expand its capabilities.</p> <hr title="Modules" class="system-pagebreak" /> <h3><img src="images/stories/ext_mod.png" border="0" alt="Module - Joomla! Extension Directory" title="Module - Joomla! Extension Directory" width="17" height="17" /> Modules</h3> <p>A more lightweight and flexible Extension used for page rendering is a Module. Modules are used for small bits of the page that are generally less complex and able to be seen across different Components. To continue in our book analogy, a Module can be looked at as a footnote or header block, or perhaps an image/caption block that can be rendered on a particular page. Obviously you can have a footnote on any page but not all pages will have them. Footnotes also might appear regardless of which chapter you are reading. Simlarly Modules can be rendered regardless of which Component you have loaded.</p> <p>Modules are like little mini-applets that can be placed anywhere on your site. They work in conjunction with Components in some cases and in others are complete stand alone snippets of code used to display some data from the database such as Articles (Newsflash) Modules are usually used to output data but they can also be interactive form items to input data for example the Login Module or Polls.</p> <p>Modules can be assigned to Module positions which are defined in your Template and in the back-end using the Module Manager and editing the Module Position settings. For example, "left" and "right" are common for a 3 column layout. </p> <h4>Displaying Modules</h4> <p>Each Module is assigned to a Module position on your site. If you wish it to display in two different locations you must copy the Module and assign the copy to display at the new location. You can also set which Menu Items (and thus pages) a Module will display on, you can select all Menu Items or you can pick and choose by holding down the control key and selecting multiple locations one by one in the Modules [Edit] screen</p> <p>Note: Your Main Menu is a Module! When you create a new Menu in the Menu Manager you are actually copying the Main Menu Module (<font face="courier new,courier">mod_mainmenu</font>) code and giving it the name of your new Menu. When you copy a Module you do not copy all of its parameters, you simply allow Joomla! to use the same code with two separate settings.</p> <h4>Newsflash Example</h4> <p>Newsflash is a Module which will display Articles from your site in an assignable Module position. It can be used and configured to display one Category, all Categories, or to randomly choose Articles to highlight to Users. It will display as much of an Article as you set, and will show a <em>Read more...</em> link to take the User to the full Article.</p> <p>The Newsflash Component is particularly useful for things like Site News or to show the latest Article added to your Web site.</p> <hr title="Plugins" class="system-pagebreak" /> <h3><img src="images/stories/ext_plugin.png" border="0" alt="Plugin - Joomla! Extension Directory" title="Plugin - Joomla! Extension Directory" width="17" height="17" /> Plugins</h3> <p>One of the more advanced Extensions for Joomla! is the Plugin. In previous versions of Joomla! Plugins were known as Mambots. Aside from changing their name their functionality has been expanded. A Plugin is a section of code that runs when a pre-defined event happens within Joomla!. Editors are Plugins, for example, that execute when the Joomla! event <font face="courier new,courier">onGetEditorArea</font> occurs. Using a Plugin allows a developer to change the way their code behaves depending upon which Plugins are installed to react to an event.</p> <hr title="Languages" class="system-pagebreak" /> <h3><img src="images/stories/ext_lang.png" border="0" alt="Language - Joomla! Extensions Directory" title="Language - Joomla! Extensions Directory" width="17" height="17" /> Languages</h3> <p>New to Joomla! 1.5 and perhaps the most basic and critical Extension is a Language. Joomla! is released with multiple Installation Languages but the base Site and Administrator are packaged in just the one Language <strong>en-GB</strong> - being English with GB spelling for example. To include all the translations currently available would bloat the core package and make it unmanageable for uploading purposes. The Language files enable all the User interfaces both Front-end and Back-end to be presented in the local preferred language. Note these packs do not have any impact on the actual content such as Articles. </p> <p>More information on languages is available from the Joomla! help site: Language Packs and Localised Releases<br /> <a href="http://help.joomla.org/content/view/1651/243/" target="_blank" title="Joomla! help site: Language Packs and Localised Releases">http://help.joomla.org/content/view/1651/243/</a></p> |

What is the purpose of the collation selection in the installation screen? |
what-is-the-purpose-of-the-collation-selection-in-the-installation-screen |
|
The collation option determines the way ordering in the database is done. In languages that use special characters, for instance the German umlaut, the database collation determines the sorting order. If you don't know which collation you need, select the "utf8_general_ci" as most languages use this. The other collations listed are exceptions in regards to the general collation. If your language is not listed in the list of collations it most likely means that "utf8_general_ci is suitable. |

Is it useful to install the sample data? |
is-it-useful-to-install-the-sample-data |
|
Well you are reading it right now! This depends on what you want to achieve. If you are new to Joomla! and have no clue how it all fits together, just install the sample data. If you don't like the English sample data because you - for instance - speak Chinese, then leave it out. |

Where is the Static Content Item? |
where-is-the-static-content |
|
<p>In Joomla! versions prior to 1.5 there were separate processes for creating a Static Content Item and normal Content Items. The processes have been combined now and whilst both content types are still around they are renamed as Articles for Content Items and Uncategorized Articles for Static Content Items. </p><p>If you want to create a static item, create a new Article in the same way as for standard content and rather than relating this to a particular Section and Category just select <span style="font-style: italic">Uncategorized</span> as the option in the Section and Category drop down lists.</p> |

What is an Uncategorised Article? |
what-is-uncategorised-article |
|
Most Articles will be assigned to a Section and Category. In many cases, you might not know where you want it to appear so put the Article in the <em>Uncategorized </em>Section/Category. The Articles marked as <em>Uncategorized </em>are handled as static content. |

Does the PDF icon render pictures and special characters? |
does-the-pdf-icon-render-pictures-and-special-characters |
|
Yes! Prior to Joomla! 1.5, only the text values of an Article and only for ISO-8859-1 encoding was allowed in the PDF rendition. With the new PDF library in place, the complete Article including images is rendered and applied to the PDF. The PDF generator also handles the UTF-8 texts and can handle any character sets from any language. The appropriate fonts must be installed but this is done automatically during a language pack installation. |

is-it-possible-to-change-the-types-of-menu-entries |
|
<p>You indeed can change the Menu Item's Type to whatever you want, even after they have been created. </p><p>If, for instance, you want to change the Blog Section of a Menu link, go to the Control Panel->Menus Menu->[menuname]->Menu Item Manager and edit the Menu Item. Select the <strong>Change Type</strong> button and choose the new style of Menu Item Type from the available list. Thereafter, alter the Details and Parameters to reconfigure the display for the new selection as you require it.</p> |

Where did the Installers go? |
where-did-the-installer-go |
|
The improved Installer can be found under the Extensions Menu. With versions prior to Joomla! 1.5 you needed to select a specific Extension type when you wanted to install it and use the Installer associated with it, with Joomla! 1.5 you just select the Extension you want to upload, and click on install. The Installer will do all the hard work for you. |

Where did the Mambots go? |
where-did-the-mambots-go |
|
<p>Mambots have been renamed as Plugins. </p><p>Mambots were introduced in Mambo and offered possibilities to add plug-in logic to your site mainly for the purpose of manipulating content. In Joomla! 1.5, Plugins will now have much broader capabilities than Mambots. Plugins are able to extend functionality at the framework layer as well.</p> |
