More About JOOMLA CMS

Joomla! is a free open source content management system for publishing content on the World Wide Web. It is written in the PHP programming language and uses the MySQL database.

The Joomla! package consists of many different parts, which allow modular extensions and integrations to be made easily. Examples of such are extensions called "Plugins”. Plugins are background extensions that extend Joomla! with new functionality. There are over 3,500 extensions for Joomla! available via the Extensions Directory.

In addition to Plugins, more comprehensive extensions are available. "Components" allow webmasters to perform such tasks as build a community by expanding user features, backup a website, translate content and create URLs that are more friendly to search engines. "Modules" perform such tasks as displaying a calendar or allowing custom code like Google AdSense etc., to be inserted within the base Joomla! code.

Joomla! permits administrators to set global configuration parameters that affect every article. Every page conforms to these parameters by default, but a page can have its own setting for each parameter. For example, you can elect to show or hide the article author or simply go with the global "show author" parameter.
