Inhaltsangabe

Many types of websites can be built and maintained more easily using a content management system (CMS). A CMS provides a web-based interface for creating and organizing content. The content is stored in a database, then consistently presented according to a set of templates and preferences, which eliminates the need to handcraft each page in HTML. Joomla! is a popular, easy-to-use, open-source CMS built in PHP. It has near-limitless functionality, thanks to its community of extension developers. In Joomla! 1.5 Essential Training, Joseph LeBlanc uses Joomla! to build a small-business website from scratch with no programming at all, from installation to launch. He demonstrates how to create and organize content; add menus, sidebars, and other features; change the look with templates; install plug-ins and extensions; and much more. Exercise files accompany the course.

Topics Include:

• Installing Apache, PHP, and MySQL to support Joomla!
• Setting article access, ordering, icon, and metadata display parameters
• Using the login, breadcrumb, and syndication modules
• Inserting contact, poll, and search components
• Managing users and permissions
• Adjusting templates with the HTML Editor
• Managing languages on the site
• Understanding search engine optimization (SEO)
