My Joomla Notes

Written by

SEO section

Aet in menu

  • page title = <h1>
  • show title = <h2>

Article options

  • show title = <h2>
  • but menu item overrules it
  • you can set this option in the article aswell for the times it is not used as a menu itme but present in a blog layout

Other notes

  • 1024 screensize = 960px visible in browers (because of the browser window size and scroll bars etc...)
  • if you use a weired url modified like jsecure lite the module hover links will not work becasuse they point to the admin directory
  • disable forgot your password and forgot your username options via menu item (not possible)
  • Standalone Applications must have their own folder, use all lowercase.

    Via ftp, create a folder ../sp/
    All standalone applications must have their own nested folder ../sp/othercms/
    Add a .htaccess folder to ../sp/ to deny access to the folder and sub folders (or appropiate - check)

Editing

JCE Suggestions to send

  • no ability to easily do margin: 0px auto; as you can either set all margins or individually

Joomlashine suggestions to send

  • send to joomla shine
  • add tick to unicons

Gallery Notes

  • simple image gallery = basic plugin, no captions, responsive
  • simple image gallery pro = plugin based gallery + captions - quite good
  • joomgallery = complex gallery but not 100% responsive (use 2 column to get around this. this gallery is all editable by the client

how to rip a website page courtesy of customers

  • copy and paste whole thing into a word document
  • then copy and paste that in to JCE editor and it will strip the junk out
  • edit images as needed
  • done

Front end editing related

  • create article front end
    http://www.cloudaccess.net/joomla-3-0/98-menu-manager/548-create-an-article-menu-item-joomla-3-0.html
  • front end only editing is ideal for those who will never change the layout (ie blog style)
  • backend editing is requied for those who have a blog layout list page because joomla does not allow deleting from front end except via trashed option. joomla also does not allow media manager access from front end
  • need to add a frontend file amanger or add a better file amanger than the inbuilt one. (ie JCE editor or those other ones I found)
  • image only sites only require jce which can delete and upload images. sites that need to use other things like pdfs or change the sliders thing can use the in built media manager (orone of the following media managers). front end media managing seems to be a problem
  • delete article http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17918784/joomla-3-1-front-end-editing-deleting-and-article
  • cannot really delete an article from front end but only change its status to trashed

Joomla Module ACL suggestions

Send this to that guy who did the module acl

  • bug/feature - you cannot edit a module from font end unless that permmision is on, iheritance does not work to custom group
  • in admin make editable.non edtable modules more contrasted
  • allow editing of modules in thefrontrend properely like artilce, at the leat once you finbish editin a module you should be returned to the page you were editing
  • in acl allow.disallow sort ordering
  • ability to hide non editable module (possibly in acl) resaon is customers can still magle module orders
  • possibkly acl allow module posistion change
