History of Joomla
• The genesis of Joomla goes back to August 2005 when the
project broke off from another web design project Mambo.
The whole concern of the development team was to put this
content management software into the open source
domain. Internet users at the OpenSourceMatters website
(www.opensourcematters.org) spoke in support for the new
project and in early September of 2005, Joomla! was born.
The comes from the Arabic for "all together", which is an
important idea for this web design project.
Joomla is now the internet's most popular Content
Management System.

Why Joomla Is Better Than Other CMS
Other CMS
Joomla
•
•
•
•
•
It is designed to work perfectly in basic
shared web hosting environments, a package
that is least expensive and most common.
Installer is simple and just like any other
common desktop software.
It is supported by several extensions, add-on,
and plug in. They are written in PHP, which is
most widely used, general purpose scripting
language and best suited for web
development.
Joomla supports SSL logins and SSL pages.
Joomla probably has a pre built module to
transform it in a social bookmarking website.
Joomla's greatest advantage is availability of
a large number of extensions that you can
use to Plug-in extra features into your
website and transform your website into
anything you like.
•
The installation process is a bit
complicated.
•
Add-ons, Plug-ins, although deeply
integrated, but are less powerful
compared to Joomla.
•
It is not known to support it.
•
Very Limited extensibility.

Joomla Vs Drupal
JOOMLA
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
DRUPAL
Joomla supports SSL logins and SSL pages.
Joomla's biggest strength is that it has a
wide selection of free and commercial
designs.
TinyMCE (in built editor) comes with
Joomla.
The default WYSIWYG (What You See is
What You Get !) editor allows video and
there are plenty of podcast and video
extensions.
DocMan and Rokdownloads are both
reliable document managers.
Joomla has a very good graphical
interface.
Joomla is best for Content Management
System
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Drupal not known to support it.
Very few commercial developers and offthe-shelf choices are very poor. Most
designs are custom-made.
Probably the most common complaint
about Drupal - it has no default editor.
Not by default but several multimedia
modules for video and podcasting are
available.
Would need to be constructed from other
modules.
Definitely a weakness. Terms are
confusing
Drupal is best for Blogging.

JOOMLA VS WORDPRESS
JOOMLA
•
•
•
WORDPRESS
Joomla CMS is an excellent content
management system allowing easy
management and maintenance of your
website, with little or no programming
knowledge needed.
Adding or removing post dates, need not
to be changed in design mode because
menus are controlled via the control panel
and attributes like dates, author name etc,
can be turned on and off per article or for
the whole site in one go.
Joomla will handle membership
functionality.
If we want members to access your videos
on a subscription basis and have members
in various levels of permission (depending
on their subscription level), Joomla is your
best bet.
•
The WordPress content management
system is an ideal platform for bloggers as
it is easy to install and use.
•
Adding or removing post dates, need to
be changed in design mode and it requires
knowledge of WP scripting.
•
You can add membership functionality in
WordPress.

Joomla Features
•
•
•
•
User Management:
Joomla has a registration system that allows users to configure personal options. There are
nine different user groups with various types of permissions on which 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.
Search:
Help navigate users to most popular search items and provide the admin with search
statistics.
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.
Content Management:
Joomla's simplified three-tiered system of articles makes organizing your content easier. 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.

Joomla Features
•
•
•
•
•
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 incorporate images and other files at any time.
Polls :
In order to seek the feedback from the users, you can conduct polls with multiple
options.
Web Link Management :
Providing link resources for site users is simple and you can sort them into categories,
even count every click.
Banner Management :
It's easy to set up banners on your Web site using the Banner Manager.
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

•
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.
System Features :
FTP Layer allows file operations (like installing Extensions) without having to make
all the folders and files writable, making your site administrator's life easier and
increasing the security of your site. Administators quickly and efficiently communicate
with users one-on-one through private messaging or all site users via the mass mailing
system.
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. Visit the Joomla Extensions Directory to see thousands of ways to
enhance Joomla to suit your needs.

Site Components
• A component is the largest and most complex extension of
them all.
• They can be seen as mini-application.
• There are two parts in a component, an administrator part
and a site part.
• Every time a Joomla page loads, a component is called to
render the main page body.
• Components are the major portion of your page because a
component is driven by a menu item and every menu item
runs a component.

Site Modules
• Modules are more lightweight and flexible extensions used for page
rendering.
• Sometime modules are linked to components such as “latest news”
module which links to the com_content and display links to the newest
content items.
• These modules are mostly known as the “boxes” that are arranged
around component, for example: The Login module. The footer is a
module.
• Modules are assigned per menu items. So, you can decide to show or
hide the logon module depending on which component (menu item) is
used.
• Modules don’t need to be linked to components, as a matter of fact
they don’t even need to be linked to anything and can be just static
html or text.
