Overview of this book

Joomla has been the second-most used open-source content management system for years. It has always had many built-in features, but several of them are not very well-known in the market. This book brings to you all the major features of the Joomla 4.x series that’ll enable you to build your own website and CMS on Joomla. The book begins by introducing you to the content management features that represent the hearth of the software and show you how to structure your website content to get the most out of it. You’ll also find out how to extend your content with custom fields, go multilingual, and set up your custom workflow. As you advance, you’ll learn all about the customization of the website, introducing templates, and child templates and overrides that’ll allow you to make your site unique. The concluding chapters will take you through four different case studies, including an online learning system, a B&B booking system, and corporate and editorial websites to see how Joomla has been used in real life to achieve a specific goal for your clients. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to confidently build modern websites on Joomla to deliver tailor-made solutions to your clients.

Exercises

It’s time to apply the knowledge acquired in this chapter and start creating our own custom fields.

Exercise 1 – Create a custom field

In your example Joomla installation, create a custom field group called MyFieldGroup, tied to Articles. Then, create a new custom field for Articles within MyFieldGroup. The custom field should be called MyCustomText and should be a text field that is always visible after the content of the article.

Create an additional custom field that belongs to the same field group; the field should be a Text Area field. Call it MyTextArea, leaving all the options at their default values. Finally, create another custom field, in MyFieldGroup, called Picture, selecting the Media field type.

Then, open the article created during the exercises of the previous chapters, check the new tab called MyFieldGroup, and populate your additional fields with your desired values. Once complete, click on Save and then Preview to check the appearance...
