History of Joomla • The genesis of Joomla goes back to August 2005 when the project broke off from another web design project Mambo.

Internet users at the OpenSourceMatters website (www.opensourcematters.org) spoke in support for the new project and in early September of 2005, Joomla! was born. The comes from the Arabic for "all together", which is an important idea for this web design project. Joomla is now the internet's most popular Content Management System.

Why Joomla Is Better Than Other CMS Joomla Other CMS The installation process is a bit complicated. Add-ons, Plug-ins, although deeply integrated, but are less powerful compared to Joomla. It is not known to support it. Very Limited extensibility. • It is designed to work perfectly in basic shared web hosting environments, a package that is least expensive and most common. Installer is simple and just like any other common desktop software. • It is supported by several extensions, add-on, and plug in. They are written in PHP, which is most widely used, general purpose scripting language and best suited for web development. • Joomla supports SSL logins and SSL pages. • Joomla probably has a pre built module to transform it in a social bookmarking website. • Joomla's greatest advantage is availability of a large number of extensions that you can use to Plug-in extra features into your website and transform your website into anything you like.

Joomla Vs Drupal JOOMLA DRUPAL Drupal not known to support it. Very few commercial developers and off-the-shelf choices are very poor. Most designs are custom-made. Probably the most common complaint about Drupal - it has no default editor. Not by default but several multimedia modules for video and podcasting are available. Would need to be constructed from other modules. Definitely a weakness. Terms are confusing Drupal is best for Blogging. • Joomla supports SSL logins and SSL pages. • Joomla's biggest strength is that it has a wide selection of free and commercial designs. • TinyMCE (in built editor) comes with Joomla. • The default WYSIWYG (What You See is What You Get !) editor allows video and there are plenty of podcast and video extensions. • DocMan and Rokdownloads are both reliable document managers. • Joomla has a very good graphical interface. • Joomla is best for Content Management System NACLIN 2015, Nov 24-26, 2015 Gulbarga University
JOOMLA VS WORDPRESS JOOMLA WORDPRESS The WordPress content management system is an ideal platform for bloggers as it is easy to install and use. Adding or removing post dates, need to be changed in design mode and it requires knowledge of WP scripting. You can add membership functionality in WordPress. • Joomla CMS is an excellent content management system allowing easy management and maintenance of your website, with little or no programming knowledge needed. • Adding or removing post dates, need not to be changed in design mode because menus are controlled via the control panel and attributes like dates, author name etc, can be turned on and off per article or for the whole site in one go. • Joomla will handle membership functionality. If we want members to access your videos on a subscription basis and have members in various levels of permission (depending on their subscription level), Joomla is your best bet.

Joomla Features • User Management: Joomla has a registration system that allows users to configure personal options. There are nine different user groups with various types of permissions on which users are allowed to access, edit, publish and administrate. Authentication is an important part of user management and Joomla support multiple protocols, including LDAP, OpenID, and even Gmail. • Search: Help navigate users to most popular search items and provide the admin with search statistics. • Language Manager: There is international support for many world languages and UTF-8 encoding. If you need your Web site in one language and the administrator panel in another, multiple languages are possible. • Content Management: Joomla's simplified three-tiered system of articles makes organizing your content easier. You can organize your content any way you want and not necessarily how it will be on your Web site. Your users can rate articles, e-mail them to a friend, or automatically save a PDF (with UTF-8 support for all languages). Administrators can archive content for safekeeping, hiding it from site visitors. NACLIN 2015, Nov 24-26, 2015 Gulbarga University

Administators quickly and efficiently communicate with users one-on-one through private messaging or all site users via the mass mailing system. • Web Services : With Web services, you can use Remote Procedure Calls (via HTTP and XML). You can also integrate XML-RPC services with the Blogger and Joomla APIs. • Powerful Extensibility : These are just some of the basic Joomla features and the real power is in the way you customize Joomla.
