Joomla! 1.6 First Look
By :
Joomla! has always been famed for the fact that it's really easy to extend its basic functionality with extensions: adding new features to your website is a matter of installing an extension and changing a few settings. In Joomla! 1.6, using and maintaining extensions has become even more user-friendly and more powerful. The extensions screen has been overhauled and it contains some new functionality—such as an automated updating process for installed extensions. Moreover, there are some new modules—the very popular little functionality blocks that can appear in any position on a Joomla!-powered web page. Also, maintaining modules has become more flexible. There are new ways to control when (in what period of time) and where (on what pages) modules should appear.
In this chapter, we'll cover:
