Unfortunatly it's not that easy.

1. Go to eunic-brussels.eu
2. Use the guide to make the settings for your meebome widget. The size setting will be overwritten by the module. Click on the "Next" button when you are ready.
3. Register a new meebo account or sign in your existing account.
4. Copy the code shown in the box to any text editor.
5. Copy the widget ID. It's read marked in the following example. This is the widget ID you have to put in the module settings!

You can use the example widget ID to test the module. It's a nice way to contact me ;)

I think there isn't any possibility to let the module create a widget ID. The only idea I have is to let the user put the whole widget code into the modules configuration and the module will filter the widget ID automatically. Would that be better?

Adding JavaScript and CSS to the page

This is one of a series of API Guides, which aim to help you understand how to use the Joomla APIs through providing detailed explanations and sample code which you can easily install and run.

Inserting from a File[edit]

Joomla allows you to add JavaScript and CSS files to your HTML document, and it puts the associated <script> and <link> elements within the HTML <head> section. To do this you call the addScript and addStyleSheet methods of the Joomla object which represents the HTML document. Since Joomla! buffers all the HTML-related data that makes up a page before output, it is possible to call these methods anywhere within your code.

First, get a reference to the current document object:

use Joomla\CMS\Factory; $document = Factory::getDocument(); // above 2 lines are equivalent to the older form: $document = JFactory::getDocument();

Then for a style sheet, use this code:

$document->addStyleSheet($url);

To add a JavaScript file, use this code:

$document->addScript($url);

where $url is the variable containing the full path to the JavaScript or CSS file. For example: JUri::base() . 'templates/custom/js/eunic-brussels.eu'

Note this will not include Mootools or jQuery. If your script requires Mootools or jQuery see JavaScript Frameworks for full details on how to include them. (Note that jQuery can only be included natively on Joomla! +.) It used to be possible to do this with JHTML, however, this was deprecated in Joomla and removed in Joomla 3.x.

$options and $attributes Parameters[edit]

You can add $options and $attributes parameters to the above methods. The $options control overall how the <script> and <link> elements are output while the $attributes get set as HTML attributes within those tags. (Note that although there are Deprecated markers against the addScript and addStyleSheet methods of the Joomla Document API, these markers refer just to the signature of these methods; the form of the signature using $options and $attributes parameters is not deprecated). The $options parameter should be an array and 2 different options are currently supported:

  • version => auto If this is set then a 'media version' is appended as a query parameter to the CSS or JavaScript URL within the <script> or <link> element. This is a string (an md5 hash) that is generated from factors including the Joomla version, your Joomla instance secret and the date/time at which the media version was generated. The media version is regenerated whenever anything is installed on the Joomla instance. Its purpose is to force browsers to reload the CSS and JavaScript files instead of using possibly outdated versions from cache.

For example

$document->addStyleSheet("eunic-brussels.eu", array('version'=>'auto')); // leads to something like // <link href="eunic-brussels.eu?37ebbbe0dfe5b1eb40b6" rel="stylesheet">

The string of characters after the ? is the md5 hash, which will change when extensions or Joomla itself are installed/upgraded/uninstalled.

  • conditional' => 'lt IE 9 (as an example). This outputs the <script> or <link> within a Conditional Comment which earlier versions of Internet Explorer interpreted.

For example

$document->addScript("eunic-brussels.eu", array('conditional'=>'lt IE 9')); // leads to // <!--[if lt IE 9]><script src="eunic-brussels.eu"></script><![endif]-->

The $attributes parameter should also be an array, and these are mapped to be HTML attributes of the <script> or <link> element. For example,

$document->addScript("eunic-brussels.eu", array(), array('async'=>'async')); // leads to // <script src="eunic-brussels.eu" async></script>

Adding the Options to Your JavaScript Code[edit]

Joomla!&#;

&#;&#;

Only available in Joomla! and higher

(Note that these Options are different from the $options parameter described above).

Beside adding inline scripts, Joomla! provides a mechanism to store the options in the "optionsStorage". This allows you to nicely manage existing options on the server side and on the client side. It also allows you to place all JavaScript logic into the JavaScript file, which will be cached by browser.

Joomla! uses a special mechanism for "lazy loading" the options on the client side. It doesn't use inline JavaScript, which is good for page rendering speed, and makes your site more friendly to the Speed Testers (e.g. Google).

The use of "optionsStorage" is preferred over inline JavaScript for adding the script options.

Example of Use

Add the script options to your module:

$document = JFactory::getDocument(); $document->addScriptOptions('mod_example', array( 'colors' => array('selector' => 'body', 'color' => 'orange'), 'sliderOptions' => array('selector' => '.my-slider', 'timeout' => , 'fx' => 'fade') ));

Access your options on the client side:

var myOptions = eunic-brussels.euions('mod_example'); eunic-brussels.eu(eunic-brussels.eu); // Print your options in the browser console. eunic-brussels.eu(eunic-brussels.euOptions);

Override the options on server side. (Possible until the head rendering.):

$document = JFactory::getDocument(); // Get existing options $myOptions = $document->getScriptOptions('mod_example'); // Change the value $myOptions['colors'] = array('selector' => 'body', 'color' => 'green'); // Set new options $document->addScriptOptions('mod_example', $myOptions);

Passing Language Strings to JavaScript[edit]

There are cases when you may want to output an error message in your JavaScript code and want to use the Joomla mechanism of language strings. You could manage this by using addScriptOptions to pass down each language string you need, but Joomla provides a more succinct solution. To pass a language string to JavaScript do in your PHP code, for example,

JText::script('JLIB_APPLICATION_ERROR_ACCESS_FORBIDDEN'); Then in your JavaScript code you can do:

var message = eunic-brussels.eu_('JLIB_APPLICATION_ERROR_ACCESS_FORBIDDEN'); to obtain in the user's language the text message associated with the language constant. Obviously certain language strings have embedded %s characters, so in your JavaScript code you will have to handle that, eg using an external JavaScript sprintf library or string replace, etc.

Inserting Inline Scripts from Within a PHP File[edit]

If your JavaScript or CSS are generated using PHP, you can add the script or style sheet directly into the head of your document:

$document = JFactory::getDocument(); // Add Javascript $document->addScriptDeclaration(' eunic-brussels.eu("domready", function() { alert("An inline JavaScript Declaration"); }); '); // Add styles $style = 'body {' . 'background: #00ff00;' . 'color: rgb(0,0,);' . '}'; $document->addStyleDeclaration($style);

JavaScript Example[edit]

For example, the following code is used to define a custom tool tip that takes advantage of Mootools.

Note that in order for this JavaScript to be useful, it is necessary to include the appropriate class name in the HTML, as well as providing the eunic-brussels.eu file. Both are outside the scope of this article.

CSS Examples[edit]

This is also useful if you are inserting a form field of CSS into your code. For example, in a module you might want a user to choose the colour of the border. Call the form field's value and assign it a variable $bordercolor in mod_eunic-brussels.eu Then in tmpl/eunic-brussels.eu you can include the following:

$document = JFactory::getDocument(); $document->addStyleSheet('mod_example/mod_eunic-brussels.eu'); $style = '#example { border-color:#' . $bordercolor . '; }'; $document->addStyleDeclaration( $style );

Here mod_eunic-brussels.eu contains the CSS file of any non-parameter based styles. Then the bordercolor parameter/form field is added in separately.

Add Custom Tag[edit]

There will be some occasions where even these functions are not flexible enough, as they are limited to writing the contents of <script /> or <style /> tags, and cannot add anything outside those tags. One example would be the inclusion of a style sheet link within conditional comments, so that it is picked up only by Internet Explorer 6 and earlier. To do this, use $document->addCustomTag:

$stylelink = '<!--[if lte IE 6]>' ."\n"; $stylelink .= '<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/eunic-brussels.eu" />' ."\n"; $stylelink .= '<![endif]-->' ."\n"; $document = JFactory::getDocument(); $document->addCustomTag($stylelink);

If it was necessary to include other conditional CSS, always include the addCustomTag method after it is declared.

Sample Module Code[edit]

Below is the code for a simple Joomla module which you can install and run to demonstrate adding CSS and JavaScript, and can adapt to experiment with the concepts above. If you are unsure about development and installing a Joomla module then following the tutorial at Creating a simple module will help. In a folder mod_css_js_demo create the following 4 files:

mod_css_js_eunic-brussels.eu

<?xml version="" encoding="utf-8"?> <extension type="module" version="" client="site" method="upgrade"> <name>css js demo</name> <version></version> <description>Code for including JS and CSS links</description> <files> <filename module="mod_css_js_demo">mod_css_js_eunic-brussels.eu</filename> <filename>eunic-brussels.eu</filename> <filename>eunic-brussels.eu</filename> </files> </extension>

mod_css_js_eunic-brussels.eu

<?php defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted Access'); use Joomla\CMS\Factory; $document = Factory::getDocument(); $options = array("version" => "auto"); $attributes = array("defer" => "defer"); $document->addScript(JURI::root() . "modules/mod_css_js_demo/eunic-brussels.eu", $options, $attributes); $document->addStyleSheet(JURI::root() . "modules/mod_css_js_demo/eunic-brussels.eu", $options); $document->addScriptOptions('my_vars', array('id' => "css-js-demo-id2")); JText::script('JLIB_HTML_EDIT_MENU_ITEM_ID'); echo '<h1 id="css-js-demo-id1">Hello World!</h3>'; echo '<button id="css-js-demo-id2">Click here!</button>';

eunic-brussels.eu

#css-js-demo-id1 { color: red; }

eunic-brussels.eu

jQuery(document).ready(function() { const params = eunic-brussels.euions('my_vars'); eunic-brussels.eu(params); eunic-brussels.eu("JS language constant: " + eunic-brussels.eu_('JLIB_HTML_EDIT_MENU_ITEM_ID')); var message = eunic-brussels.eu_('JLIB_HTML_EDIT_MENU_ITEM_ID'); message = eunic-brussels.eue("%s", eunic-brussels.eu); eunic-brussels.eumentById(eunic-brussels.eu).addEventListener("click", function() {alert(message);}); });

Zip up the mod_css_js_demo directory to create mod_css_js_eunic-brussels.eu. Within your Joomla Administrator go to Install Extensions and via the Upload Package File tab, select this zip file to install this sample mod_css_js_demo module. Make this module visible by editing it (click on it within the Modules page) then:

  1. making its status Published
  2. selecting a position on the page for it to be shown
  3. on the menu assignment tab specify the pages it should appear on

When you visit the web page, you should see the module in your selected position. It should display:

  • a message Hello World! which the CSS file should change to display in red
  • a button which when you click it will execute an alert() showing the language string and variable which were passed down from the PHP code.

Using your browser's development tools you can also view the <script> and <link> elements within the HTML and see the JavaScript output on the console.

Adding JavaScript and CSS to the page

Inserting from a File[edit]

To have a well-formed XHTML document, you must put all references to Javascript and CSS files within the portion. Since Joomla! generates all the HTML that makes up a page before output, it is possible to add these references within the <head> tags from your extension. The simplest way to do this is to make use of the functionality built in to Joomla!. In Joomla you can still use the following, but it's marked as deprecated and changed in 3.x:

// Add a reference to a Javascript file // The default path is 'media/system/js/' JHtml::script($filename, $path, $mootools); // Add a reference to a CSS file // The default path is 'media/system/css/' JHtml::stylesheet($filename, $path);

With the changed API in 3.x, the second parameter cannot be a string. If you really need to use these methods and wish to have compatibility with Joomla 3.x, you must include the absolute link to your files:

<?php JHtml::script(JUri::base() . 'templates/custom/js/eunic-brussels.eu', $mootools); JHtml::stylesheet(JUri::base() . 'templates/custom/css/eunic-brussels.eu'); ?>

Using these functions, Joomla! will take care of any additional requirements. For example, if your Javascript requires Mootools, setting will automatically ensure that Mootools is loaded, if it has not already been done.

However, the above functions will not be flexible enough for every scenario, and so it is possible to tap into the underlying functionality instead. Of course, you will also need to manually code some of the steps that would be done automatically using the functions above.

First, get a reference to the current document object:

$document = JFactory::getDocument();

For a stylesheet, use this code:

$document->addStyleSheet($url);

To add a Javascript file, use this code:

$document->addScript($url);

Note this will **NOT** include Mootools or jQuery. If your script requires Mootools or jQuery see Javascript_Frameworks for full details on how to include them (note jQuery can only be included natively on Joomla +).

Inserting from within a PHP file[edit]

If your Javascript or CSS are generated using PHP, you can add the script or stylesheet directly into the head of your document:

$document = JFactory::getDocument(); // Add Javascript $document->addScriptDeclaration(' eunic-brussels.eu("domready", function() { alert("An inline JavaScript Declaration"); }); '); // Add styles $style = 'body {' . 'background: #00ff00;' . 'color: rgb(0,0,);' . '}'; $document->addStyleDeclaration($style);

Javascript Examples[edit]

For example, the following code is used to define a custom tool tip that takes advantage of mootools.

Note that in order for this Javascript to be functionally useful, it would be necessary to include the appropriate class name in the HTML, as well as providing the file. Both are outside the scope of this article.

CSS Examples[edit]

This is also useful if your inserting a parameter/form field of CSS into your code. For example in a module, you might want a user to choose to call the colour of the border. After calling the parameter/form field and assigning it a variable $bordercolor in mod_eunic-brussels.eu Then in tmpl/eunic-brussels.eu you can include the following

$document = JFactory::getDocument(); $document->addStyleSheet(JURI::base() . 'modules/mod_example/css/mod_eunic-brussels.eu'); $style = '#example { border-color:#' . $bordercolor . '; }'; $document->addStyleDeclaration( $style );

Here mod_eunic-brussels.eu contains the CSS file of any non-parameter based styles. Then the bordercolor parameter/form field is added in separately

Add Custom Tag[edit]

There will be some occasions where even these functions are not flexible enough, as they are limited to writing the contents of or tags, and cannot add anything outside those tags. One example would be the inclusion of a stylesheet link within conditional comments, so that it is picked up only by Internet Explorer 6 and earlier. To do this, use :

$stylelink = '<!--[if lte IE 6]>' ."\n"; $stylelink .= '<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/eunic-brussels.eu" />' ."\n"; $stylelink .= '<![endif]-->' ."\n"; $document = JFactory::getDocument(); $document->addCustomTag($stylelink);

DJ-ImageSlider


Each slide can include a title, description and can be linked to any Joomla article, menu item, or other URL or even do not linked (the magnificent popup appears ).

The Joomla slideshow extension also allows setting a start/end publishing date. Created slides can be organized in an unlimited number of slideshow categories and each category can have an unlimited number of slides.


Joomla Slideshow Features

As we mentioned above, it&#x;s a fully responsive, mobile, and touch-ready Joomla slideshow.
The slideshow adapts to all screen sizes! It also offers a swipe navigation handling for touch screens.
What about slider effects and slider customization options? DJ-Image-Slider brings HTML5/CSS3 transitions 9+ slide effects . Users can set a custom slide transition time, choose bulletsnumber as slider indicators, and load custom slider buttons (prev/next/ and play/pause).


What&#;s more?

The Joomla slideshow comes with a huge number of useful slider features. Check more of them listed below:

  • Easy slider backend control panel.

Xe-VideoGalV2 FX Catagory Creation Problem

Postby catmetu » Fri Mar 16, am

Hi;

I have just bought Xe-VideoGalV2 FX and I am having some problems to create categories. I tried to get support from xe-media company but as you know they are inadequate and unwilling to answer questions and redirected me to joomla forum. The problem is easy. When I push the save button to save category, nothing happens. Just a "script error" message appears on the left down corner of the page. They asked me to try different browsers, install the component again and check the database if it is set to uft8. After getting those phases, they concluded that this is the problem of joomla.

When I traced the error message, I found the below problematic part:

if (eunic-brussels.eu == ""){
alert( "Category must have a title" );
} else {
wp_prepare_submission(description);
submitform( pressbutton );
}

In above code segment, "description" is undefined according to IE and Firefox error messages.

Is there anybody who has an idea where the problem is?

Thanks for your responses

Introduction to the Joomla Dashboard

FacebookTweetLinkedIn

With thousands of website building applications out there, creating the foundation of our first online project is literally a few clicks away. Many of the apps cover particular niches – ecommerce, community forums, social media – but you also have a wide choice of multipurpose tools. 

Apart from WordPress, one other content management system (CMS) is rocking the online world and responsible for the well-being of over million websites – Joomla. 

In this guide, we will take a closer look under Joomla’s hood – how it looks, how it works, and how to quickly get used to its specifics. 

Why Should I Choose Joomla?

Introduction to the Joomla Dashboard, Why Should I Choose Joomla?

Joomla is undoubtedly one of the best choices for starting a new website. The application lets you turn a basic page into any kind of multifaceted project – an ecommerce shop, a public message board, or a stylish business site, just to name a few. This is thanks to the rich environment of plugins and themes, your go-to place when you want to change the look or feel of your website.

To date, there are around 6, extensions and over templates in the Joomla official repository. You can find thousands more in reputable marketplaces like Themeforest, Templatemonster, Joomlart, and Joomshaper.

Complete beginners will enjoy Joomla just as much as seasoned developers, thanks to the low learning curve and intuitive interface of the popular CMS. And if you wish to further improve your skills with the app – there are plenty of tutorials, video guides, and online communities that can always help you with a pressing question or issue.

Joomla 4 – A Step Forward

Introduction to the Joomla Dashboard, Joomla 4 – A Step Forward

Just last year, there was a major commotion in the Joomla society – a completely new version rolled out, promising to supercharge the experience for all users of the app. Joomla is to gradually replace all 3.x versions, with end of support scheduled around August

But what makes the new version so superior, and why should current users consider upgrading their CMS? Here are some reasons that quickly come to mind:

  • Bootstrap Version – Bootstrap is a free and open-source framework that aid the development of mobile-first websites. The platform helps web admins simplify the site-building process and make it even faster. As it originally started many years ago, Joomla 3.x still utilizes Bootstrap 2 for its user interface. In comparison, Joomla 4.x employs the much slicker Bootstrap 4.
  • PHP Version – Just as with the web building framework, Joomla 4.x also uses one of the latest versions for its scripting language – PHP 7.x. This gives users a ton more features and grants access to the PHP-NG engine that supercharges your site performance and loading speeds. 
  • Mobile Responsiveness – Since Joomla 3.x websites can easily be accommodated to all kinds of devices and screens, the newer versions really take mobile responsiveness to the next level. Users find the advanced CSS grid much easier to work with, which makes their design implementation faster and more effortless.  
  • Templates & Design – Once you start working with Joomla, you get a range of free frontend and backend templates for the default visual outlook of your site and admin area. Because of the more advanced technologies it utilizes, Joomla 4.x design layouts stand out with a stylish look and great feel out-of-the-box. Editing those templates is also a breeze, allowing for more creative freedom and better functionality.
  • Multimedia – Before its latest release, image and video editing was not possible within Joomla itself, you could only do it before uploading. The smart innovations in 4.x broke that boundary and now allow viewing multimedia properties with a simple mouse click.
  • Security – One of the most pressing topics for today’s webmasters, cybersecurity has been a focus for Joomla’s developers as well. By utilizing the latest technologies in recent versions, devs have significantly minimized the risks of backdoors and malicious attacks. Joomla 3.x still uses outdated technologies and has to frequently release security updates in order to keep up.

When you consider all of the above, it’s not a question of whether you should move to Joomla 4.x but WHEN to make the switch. 

Behind the Curtains – The Joomla Dashboard

We will now take a stroll around one of Joomla’s most integral parts – the admin dashboard. After you install the CMS, this is your go-to place for all site modifications. The more comprehensive and intuitive your dashboard is – the easier you will get the hang of it and start working your magic. 

Home Screen

Introduction to the Joomla Dashboard, Home Screen

This is the first page you see when you log in your Joomla installation. The main screen consists of a few shortcuts to some of the most used functionalities, like key options, system notifications, sample data, recently added articles, and more. Additionally, you can view the most recent actions, who logs in/out, and what they do in the meantime. 

The Joomla dashboard is fully customizable, so you can add/remove blocks with options to tailor your experience with the CMS.

On the left of the main screen, you will find the main menu categories.

Content

Introduction to the Joomla Dashboard, Content

This category contains everything regarding your pages, articles, and plugins. 

Articles

You can see all your created articles, their status, author, language, and other important info. Clicking on an article will reveal its content and allow you to edit it as per your needs. You can also keep drafts that you can further modify before publishing. Once your content grows, various filters will help you find the article you need. 

Categories

This is the place where you create, edit, and delete your categories. The categorization brings order to your content, allowing your Joomla site visitors to navigate easily to articles with a common theme. As with the previous menu, you can take advantage of filtering to quickly find the category you are looking for.

Introduction to the Joomla Dashboard, Categories

Joomla 4.x excels with some fantastic multimedia options. You can now organize your images and videos in neatly stacked folders, and the CMS helps you upload files with a click of the mouse button. There is an info option as well, allowing you to check the properties of each folder.

Modules

Modules work exactly like widgets – they are lightweight extensions that let you quickly add some basic functionalities to your Joomla site. Since , Joomla offers a set of 24 different modules. Each module comes with a comprehensive description and is effortless to configure.

Introduction to the Joomla Dashboard, Menus

The category that helps you manage your menu items. Regardless of your online project and goals, menus are an inseparable part of any website and one of the best ways to optimize your navigation. 

With this option, you will be able to create/edit/manage your menu items, assign them to different categories, and determine the access permissions for your collaborators.

Components

Introduction to the Joomla Dashboard, Components

Similar to modules, components in Joomla work as ways to extend the CMS functionality, something like mini-apps within the app. You can take advantage of a number of pre-built components, as well as third-party solutions. 

Admin Tools

An essential category that you should look to configure right from the get-go. The menu is filled with wonderful options that cover key areas like site security, URL redirection, search engine optimization, and many more. You can easily password-protect your directories, modify user permissions, and even turn off your entire website in case of an emergency.

Banners

Banners are an excellent way to reach out to a broader audience and create beautiful ads that will bring targeted web traffic and potential sales. The Joomla dashboard has a separate section dedicated to your banners, where you can save your designs, categorize them, and quickly bring out a suitable visual for your next PPC or social media campaign. 

Contacts

We all keep various bits of information about important contacts we frequently communicate with. So why not store this information directly in our Joomla admin area? The Contacts menu allows you to input addresses, emails, phone/fax numbers, job positions, and many more. Finding the correct information about your partners and clients has never been easier. 

News Feeds

If you want to include some of your favorite RSS feeds on your Joomla site – this is the right place for the job. Again, you can add various categories to your feeds to find them more easily. You can also include a description for each feed.

Tags

The easiest way to organize your content in Joomla (and most other CMS solutions). Create as many tags as you deem necessary and assign them to each piece of content. Site visitors can then navigate to the right articles and find relevant suggestions for similar content.

Users

Introduction to the Joomla Dashboard, Users

Keeping a close eye on your users and site contributors is highly valuable, especially if you are running a money-making website, like an ecommerce store. Joomla 4.x offers numerous options that can assist with the job.

Groups

Users on your website carry different roles, so grouping them by some common factor is more than logical. This creates something of a tree-like structure, which will let you easily determine user permissions later. 

Access Levels

The default Joomla dashboard contains five access levels that determine what type of visitor views what content – Public, Guest, Registered, Special, and Super Users. Naturally, you can edit the defaults or create as many additional ones as needed. 

IMPORTANT: Access levels are different from user permissions. This section only gives you access to configure the different user levels, what they can actually do can be set from the System -> User Permissions menu. 

Users Action Log

When it comes to monitoring your backend, this will be a frequent go-to option. You can find out detailed information about when someone logs into your admin area – who they are, what they did, and if they updated anything. This is quite the game-changer for large teams with multiple contributors working on a single Joomla project

System

Introduction to the Joomla Dashboard, System

The system menu might be “pushed” down the menu tree, but it is one of the most essential administrative areas. It contains a ton of additional options that are directly connected to your Joomla site installation, operation, maintenance, and updates.

Setup

Introduction to the Joomla Dashboard, Setup

This section contains a single key option – Global Configuration. Once inside, you will find a bunch of options that are directly related to your website – site name, default editor, default access level, and many more

Scrolling down, you will find numerous useful options for your metadata and SEO. All successful websites nowadays rely on search engine optimization to some extent, so your configuration here can greatly improve your efforts for more exposure.

Install

This is your go-to place for installing extensions and languages for your Joomla project. You can upload the needed add-on from your computer, a URL, or straight from the Joomla Extensions repository. As for the languages, there are a whopping 48 options to choose from, so you can ensure your target audience will have no trouble understanding you.

Templates

Here’s where the design addicts can let all their creativity run loose. You will be able to upload and view templates for your website (frontend), admin area (backend), and emails. Each theme can be manually edited, so if you know a bit about HTML/CSS – you can create a truly unique outlook for your Joomla pages.

Maintenance

This section helps you clear your cached data. You can do so per folder and only cover things like templates, plugins, or languages. Additionally, you have the Global Check-In option. This component unlocks all previously locked or pending files, allowing the administrator to analyze or edit them. 

Manage

Many of the subcategories you will frequently use are neatly organized in the Manage menu. You can enjoy quick access to your extensions, modules, templates, languages, redirects, and more. You can also schedule tasks from here, ensuring all of them get your due attention. Ideal for the site administrator in terms of organization.

Information

Once you install Joomla, you automatically get “subscribed” to a number of important notifications. In this section, you’ll be able to see post-installation messages and detailed system information like web server, database types, PHP version, and the likes. In case Joomla detects a threat to your website, you will also receive a prompt warning here.

Update

This one is pretty self-explanatory – whenever there is a new version of the Joomla core or one of its extensions, you can update your system from here. Updates are essential for every webmaster as old and un-updated apps may pose a severe security and performance threat in the long run.

User Permissions

Here, you can see the combined information from your user Groups and Access Levels. There is a variety of settings that will determine who will be able to view certain content, who will edit it, and which group has control over the others. In the Text Filters menu, you will be able to fine-tune your HTML content by creating forbidden lists and applying filters over your user groups.

Help

Introduction to the Joomla Dashboard, Help

Last, but certainly not least, the Help section is like a world of its own. Think of it like a Joomla academy where you can find all kinds of helpful resources. Self-learners can enjoy hundreds of insightful tutorials and developer resources to help them become wizards with the CMS. For those who prefer more human assistance, there are quick access links to the Joomla Forums, documentation Wiki, and community portal.

…and that concludes our tour of the Joomla 4 Dashboard!
