Now that we have our mission, our goals, our list of extensions, and an understanding of how it all fits together, it is time to start putting it all together and assemble our site. Since we already know how to install a basic Joomla! site, we will start with our site configuration and then move into our extensions.
This chapter will primarily be practical with us in setting up the extensions on our sample site and walking through the process for selecting them. But the same process can be applied to any of our own sites.
We will cover:
Configuring Joomla!—Core extensions and configuration
Configuring content sections and categories—clearing sample content and creating new sections and categories
Configuring extensions—work through our main extensions for our site
