I’m looking for anything interesting.
Arthur, joomla is for the rest of us who can customise through choosing from hundrets of products. Why do I have to learn the code man ? I was going to if I had the time and the money but I don’t.
As for dreamweaver ect… can that handle databases like joomla ? I doubt it.
Are you working for microsoft or something ?
None. Joomla isn’t a quality CMS framework. It is, however, a popular framework and the two can often be confused. Joomla is a triumph of brute-force programming (i.e. lots of open-source contributors and lots and LOTS of code) making an uninspired original design do a lot of moderately useful work. It does not produce W3Compliant code. It does accessibility poorly. It is overdue for a major (i.e. thow the baby out) revision. Typo3 is a better CMS framework but is very hard to learn and is still not elegant or simple. More brute force. There are more than 550 CMS frameworks around and we still await a good open-source CMS. Mostly, you’d do your clients and yourself a favour by using and recommending the Dreamweaver/Contribute solution instead.
That’s a pretty broad question. I guess that would depend on whether you intend to use your own security certificate, or a shared one from a third party. What you opt to use for your shopping cart software will make an impact as well. If you plan to build your own e-commerce solution, why are you asking us?
I have www.teech.org (charity website) and I need to display about 100 photos on it. I’m not worried if they are not all on the same page or if its in a slideshow but I need to be able to put a line of code in a article pointing to a folder and the app does the work displaying it.
Oh, and I have no budget so it really needs to be free. I have spent lots of time looking on extensions.joomla but not found anything suitable.
Can you help? Thanks!
Photobucket.com
holds tons of photos, uploads in a few seconds, as well as a ton of editing options
Some more are Splashup.com, Picnik.com, and Photoshop Express, these are more editing sites though.
Hope this helps.
Exactly what are you backing up and what are you using to do it?
With Joomexplorer yo can quickly zip up your site and save it locally. With FTP you can download it all directly.
Remember that the database needs backing up too using whatever backend database control panel utility (eg. phpMyAdmin) you have installed under your webspace backend (eg. cpanel, plesk).
In phpMyAdmin this is done using the Export tab. Select All in the Export selection window and click the ‘Save as file’ and ‘gzip’ boxes at the foot of the page.
This gzip can be then imported either to a new database on another remote server (web host) or localhost (your PC) in the same utility.
If you use the same setup (database name, admin name and password) and you can perform a complete restore with the gzipped database and the zipped website!
All the best,
Mike
PS .bak - this is a classic and widely used extension for backups but it dosen’t really matter so long as the imformation inside is the right type and can be extract once again 
I am trying to use one but it’s very annoying. Apart from the fact that it makes your pages apear without the "lt=AnMyhsdYf6COXXiQVRYyZd" does it helps your site be on the top of search engines ?
Using the default Search Engine Friendly URL’s in Joomla *may* make a very slight difference to search engines. Search engines tend not to like URL’s that have more than 3 question marks (?) in them and, unfortunately, many Joomla URL’s do have more than 3.
A good SEF extension can help both search engines and human visitors. One I use a lot is sh404SEF which rewrites the URL’s so they are "human friendly". For example, instead of an URL containing loads of & ? etc, you could have an URL that displays as example.com/my-page
You can get it here: http://extensions.siliana.com/en/sh404SEF-and-url-rewriting/sh404SEF-Joomla-SEF-URL-without-URL-rewriting-or-.htaccess.html
This is a free extension.
URL’s that are easy to remember and easy to type tend to encourage more visitors. Your content keywords can also be used to form your URL and this can help search engine placement.
None of these things alone will help your site get to the top of search engine listings. Have a search on the Net for information about search engine optimisation - there are a lot of resources around that give advice on how to get good search engine results.
Hi guys.
I can’t seem to the extension I need and was hoping you could help me out.
What I need is an extension that allows me to ask people a series of questions, preferably on multiple pages as I have over 60 questions, and recommend a product based on their answers.
The problem I have with the quiz and survey extensions I have found so far is that either they do not allow me to display multiple recommendations (like 10 best matches) or those that do often have a very complex way of entering new product.
Technical Description:
Products are entered into the database (preferably by users) where each product has 60 or so attributes.
Other users can then answer a set of 60 or so questions on their preferences. When they submit their answers, they are compared against all products in the DB and the ones whose attributes best fit the submitted questions come up as the recommended products
As to the interface for the questions I need to be able to split them up into pages and preferably users can skip around pages, seeing as it won’t be necessary to answer all the questions.
You may contact a joomla developer below.
Every extension adds to server load and none of the current extensions for either Joomla 1.0 or 1.5 tracks visitor statistics effectively.
The best way to get this kind of information is by signing up for one of the free web site analytics programs (such as Google Analytics). When you create an account you will receive some code to place on your site.
Go to your template’s index.php file and look for the closing </body> tag. Copy the code you receive from Google Analytics and paste it directly above the </body> tag. Save your template file (and if you have had to edit it offline, upload the saved file back to your site).
The code you have added to your template’s index.php file will track your visitors on every page of your site. You will receive detailed reports on visitors movements, their networks, country of origin, and more when you log back into the analytics site. All the processing for this is done externally so collecting the information will not slow your own site down or add to server load.

I have site that I am currently working on by using Joomla (cool product); however my front page is not that appealing. I need a first impression, since that’s what users will be seeing as soon as the log on to the site. I want to take news content from a series of sites and display them on my front page; or, create my own multi content front page with graphics, texts, teaser articles in a box with a little text etc … that sort of thing. I have searched the Joomla Extension page, but came to very little result. If you are familiar with any extension that can spice up the front page, please let me know. many thanks. I highly appreciate the help!!!
I haven’t found any that will pull content from other sites.
Hi, I’m having some problem installing joomla extensions, such as templates and components. I am using 1.5 by the way. I try to install it using the package method, and stick the unzipped file in there, but nothing happens, nothing installs. Even when I unzip, it’s just a load of folders and css or whatever pages, so I can’t install those. I’m really stuck as to what to do. Any help would be appreciated. I feel like such an idiot 
Thanks for help… but that’s the problem. It doesn’t say I need to unzip it, I put the zipped file in and all it seems to do is refresh the page.
