Comments For Joomla! Articles

Author: Editor |

In case you hadn't noticed, Joomla! doesn't automatically come with the ability to handle comments. You will need to add this functionality. I added it when a friend asked about it because she wanted to comment on one of the articles. Sadly, I think I've lost that comment because of changes I've made. I'll explain.

Trying Out Community Builder for Joomla!

Author: Editor |

I've been tasked with creating a social website for a group of people, several of whom are on Facebook and other social sites. When I was first enlisted in creating them a website, they needed some place to communicate about general topics and upcoming gatherings. So I set them up with a forum. Over the past couple of years their needs and desires for their site have grown. Fortunately in that time I found Joomla! and even more recently I've found Community Builder.

Community Builder is a social networking extension for Joomla!.

Adding Adverts to My Joomla Site

Author: Editor |

For those of you who were enjoying this site without the commercialism of advertising you will have noticed the addition of said evil. Figuring out how to add advertisements (adverts or ads) to my page has been one of the many things I've been meaning to do in learning about using Joomla!. I don't know if I'm doing it the "correct"or official Joomla! way. Here's how I got it to work.

A Little More on Templates

Author: suguay |

So now I've switched this site over to one of the main templates that domes with Joomla!. It's pretty good as far as layout and features that it includes. You get new flashes and polls and latest news and most popular.

I like that the spacing doesn't seem off in certain areas. Like the text editor where I write these little bits. It fits within the template nicely and I don't lose the last 2 or so characters like one of the other templates. It's nice and clean looking. And while the white background maybe a little boring to some I think it makes things more navigable and readable.

I have managed to modify the top header a bit to include a graphic of the site name. I may work on the fade part or the background bit soon. Just to see what sort of different look I can get. I may even add back some things that I've temporarily turned off. I need to get some better graphics to go with things like on the weblinks page.

Still it's getting there. I'm not sure where.

Cheers.

Issues with Some of the Joomla Templates I've Tried

Author: suguay |

Ok, I've tried a few of the free templates that are available for Joomla! some are good some are not.

I tried one that I really like, the spacing is good, everything seems to stay on the page and buttons are properly placed. I'm not using it right now because it is a little dark and difficult to read. So I changed it.

I tried on that the was just awful. The verbage on the page wasn't in the right places or the lables would overlap other things. You could hardly read it. Ugh.

The one I'm using now,
