I want to create a portal in which every registered user can upload photos & images and comment them. Is there any component or other Joomla extension out there? (Ideally it won’t be a bridge between joomla and another application).
You could try DocMan.

Joomla 1.0 is the older version of Joomla. Joomla 1.5 was intended to eventually replace J1. There are still a lot of loyalists out there though.

Joomla website with 2 languages (using Joom!Fish Joomla extension); English and French. The French is default language and when the user selects English from drop down list on homepage the site changes language but only for the text content on the site, not the menus etc. How do you get it to change the language of menu items etc?
We are using Joomla 1.5 and at least version 2 of Joom!fish.
Make sure your configuration,php file is writable while you change languages.
If problem continues go to their forum: http://forum.joomla.org/ and they may help you in solving this problem!

A web CMS is a content management system software used for managing content for the web.
The software manages content (text, graphics, links, etc.) for distribution on a web server. Usually the software provides tools where users with little or no knowledge of programming languages and markup languages (such as HTML) can create and manage content with relative ease of use. Most systems use a database to hold content, and a presentation layer displays the content to regular website visitors based on a set of templates. Management of the software is typically done through a web browser, but some systems may be modified in other ways.
A Content Management System (CMS) differs from website builders like Microsoft FrontPage or Macromedia Dreamweaver in that a CMS allows non-technical users to make changes to an existing website with little or no training. Website building tools like FrontPage and Dreamweaver require more technical knowledge and training on average. A CMS is an easy-to-use tool that gives authorized users the ability to manage a website. A CMS is a website maintenance tool rather than a website creation tool.
Let’s talk about Joomla! Content Management System now.
Joomla! is one of the most powerful Open Source Content Management Systems on the planet. It is used all over the world for everything from simple websites to complex corporate applications. Joomla! is easy to install, simple to manage, and reliable.
One of the ways people use Joomla! CMS:
* Corporate websites or portals
* Online commerce
* Small business websites
* Non-profit and organizational websites
* Government applications
* Corporate intranets and extranets
* School and church websites
* Personal or family homepages
* Community-based portals
* Magazines and newspapers
* the possibilities are limitless…
Joomla! can be used to easily manage every aspect of your website, from adding content and images to updating a product catalog or taking online reservations.
Advanced use of Joomla!
Out of the box, Joomla! does a great job of managing the content needed to make your website sing. But for many people, the true power of Joomla! lies in the application framework that makes it possible for thousands of developers around the world to create powerful add-ons and extensions. Here are just some examples of the hundreds of available extensions:
* Dynamic form builders
* Business or organizational directories
* Document management
* image and multimedia galleries
* E-commerce and shopping cart engines
* Forums and chat software
* Calendars
* Blogging software
* Directory services
* Email newsletters
* Data collection and reporting tools
* Banner advertising systems
* Subscription services
* and many, many more…
You will probably ask yourself what’s the catch?
There is no catch. Joomla! is free, open, and available to all under the GPL license.

We’d like to create a flickr-type environment within our intranet. We want employees to be able to post images and video to the same place, categorize and provide headers. We need it to be a Joomla extension or plug-in.
Hi Lolly,
Unfortunately Rina actually gave you two incorrect urls they should have been joomlashack.com and joomlacode.org – however neither of those would really help you.
The best solution for your situation would be to use the joomla component community builder along with the supported plugin Nants CB gallery – this would allow your users to post, share and host their images
For video you should take a look at the seyret video component this also has a plugin for community builder as well.
Both have excellent forums as does joomla itself.
