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.

For example, you can use custom fields tied to users to collect data such as a short biography, birth date, province, city, phone number, email, and much more.

Custom Fields are organized in Custom Field Groups, which are used to display fields in an ordered way.

Custom Fields will be displayed in the user creation and editing form in the backend, while they are shown on the profile page and registration page on the website frontend.

To create and manage custom fields related to users, from Users Dashboard click on Fields in the module called User Fields. The procedure to create a custom field is identical to the one already presented in Chapter 3, Advanced Content Management.
