but before we talk about joomla a little about me ¿ Open source geek, Joomla, blogger, AWARDS (the bit my mum likes to hear)
my girlfriend
we’re here today to learn more about joomla
4minutes
to understand joomla we first need to look at the past
in sept 2005 20 people took some software called mambo and created something called joomlathats me in the back row - younger and without the grey hair
all around the world
the world had never heard of joomla joomla is a swahili word that means all together just 4 hits
we were not a company or even a group of friends we were just a group of people who shared a common vision to produce some software for creating websites. BUT its much more than that we had three aims
working as a team
having fun
anybody can contribute
is this what joomla is about? featuresqualitysizesupportbugsopen source
joomla is about you
Joomla doesnt write code
you do! ¡
joomla doesnt create great web sites
sites you have created 3 minutes
so those were some of the great web sites you have created with joomla joomla the present
from the official site but that doesnt include fantastico etc or multiple installs
joomla is extendable and fully customisable its all up to you
should be 65 but i never finished my klingon translation see i told you i was a geek
over 180 user groups joomladay events like this take place all over the world. i should know i’ve been to many of them
remember that google screenshot with 3 hits. now look at it joomla now powers over 2.6% of all the web sites on the net
a date with the future
2 years in the making and this is just the startlets look at whats new
too many new things to mention so here are MY highlights
what can i addwhat can i editwhat can i seeusers in multiple groups
just because you can does not mean you should you can still use acl just like in 1.5 if you want to
no more sections, categories of unlimited depth
improved translation language overrides for your site - dont get destroyed by an upgrade
content in multiple languages content NOT linked suitable for small sites NOT joomfish
bye bye 404
redirect - customise the url for 404 and redirects old urls with a 301 - even use as a tiny url generator
let's get a little closer
create sites faster
Save (was apply) Save and close Save and new - takes you direct to a blank content item Save as copy productivity boost
quick link to add content or category or menu
we’ve all had it happen the session expires and then we have to find out where we were before. NOW when you log back in you return to where you were when the session expired
new things with modules
easy to assign. easy to EXCLUDE All pages No Pages Selected Pages EXCEPT selected pages
just like content modules can now start and end based on time
see what modules are assigned on the menu manager + assign new ones
you're looking hot
template power
you want it in green - template styles On occasion, you want a slightly different look to one page or a handful of pages on the site. Previously, this might mean coding a completely different template. Now, with template styles, you can easily create minor template variations, which can then be assigned to specific pages on the website.
all core output files are written in XHTML 1.0 Strict. HTML 5 is also supported in Joomla! 1.6.
customize layouts Template overrides vs Layout overrides: In Joomla! 1.5, you could change the look of some of Joomla’s output files via template overrides. However, you couldn’t change those output files just for a few pages. With the new improved layout overrides, you can alter the look of specific menu items, components, modules, and categories.
accessibility built in this is in the ADMIN
something i need to tell you
php 4 was dead 8/8/8 over 2 years ago. get a real HOST!!!!!
no legacy mode for 1.0 OR 1.5!!!!@ explain this properly
its really a migration not an upgrade depends on 3rd party upgrader need to see if you have 1.6 extensions YOU DONT HAVE TO!!!!
do you want to go on a date?
these are only some highlights lots more under the hood
download
i cant look into my crystal ball and tell you
the future is up to you get involved translations, user groups, write extensions, create templates
switch to time based not feature based aim to release every 6 months 1.7 will be focussed on content , search , management
