Book description
Building on the first edition of Joomla!: Visual QuickStart
Guide, this task-based guide is the perfect tool for those just
starting with Joomla, as well as, seasoned professionals who want
to know how to use the latest version of the software to its
fullest. It shows how to create, customize, and maintain a dynamic
Joomla 1.6 website starting with fundamental concepts for using
Joomla and then walks the user through every function of the
system. It details the requirements for operating a secure and
efficient Joomla website, including server configuration and
website planning. The reader learns not only the functions of
Joomla, such as adding content and structure, creating menus, using
components, modules, plug-ins, and templates, but also how each
function integrates as a whole. Each chapter ends with increasingly
advanced topics, such as installation and configuration of the
administrative back end, using 3rd-party extensions to create a
portfolio, a blog, an e-commerce site, magazine, or news portal, as
well as, how to use content construction kits, create custom
templates, and integrate social media.
New features covered in this edition include:
how to use the redesigned admin interface; new menu systems,
including advanced functions for developers; how to use the
category-article structure of content; the ability for users to
create their own groups and assign access control levels; and
control and customization of templates.
