1. Article Manager
In a Joomla website, the articles,
which are the main content for every page, are referred to as "pages."
Whenever a new page is created on a Joomla website, one of the first
things that should be done is create a new article.
Since Joomla will control the way information will be handled by the
site, it is natural that this is the first step that should be taken.
2. Menu Manager
When working with menu items on Joomla websites, it must be remembered
that these are merely links that inform the website about the article it
is pointing to.
With the help of menu items, modules can be assigned to particular
pages, instead of having to show them on all of the pages or none of
them.
3. Module Manager
In a Joomla website, modules can be anything, whether forms, pictures,
text or any kind of info that might have to be moved around to different
sections of the website. Through a module, more info on the pages of
the site can be shared without putting anything in the main content
section.
For the most part, a module is a program through which content
surrounding the "main content" section can be created. Mainly, these are
displayed in the different module positions, i.e. top, right, left,
etc.
Usually, Joomla modules go hand-in-hand to display particular
information from components that are installed in this content
management system. For instance, latest forum posts on the forum
component can be displayed; random images can be displayed from the
image gallery component, and so on.
Menus are modules as well. Modules can be displayed in "main" content too.
4. Plugin Manager
The basic functionality of many Joomla websites can be extended by using
the plugins that are available with this content management system.
Using these plugins, code in response to particular events can be
activated, either custom events or Joomla core events can be executed
that are triggered from their own code.
Before Joomla, 1.5 plugins were called mambots. Mambots were capable of
changing merely the content and were based on particular signal words.
However, their scope has been extended and stretched ever since then.
Keeping the new functionality of mambots in mind, their name was changed
to plugins by developers. Legacy support for 1.0 mambots is also
included in Joomla 1.5 websites.
5. User Manager
On any Joomla website, small changes can be made and new content can be
added without being visible to anyone else. Temporarily, an access level
can be assigned to that page, so that certain pages will be visible
only to registered users.
The access level can be set to public once again whenever the new
content needs to be shown to everyone else. This way the uploaded
content becomes to everyone else once again. This can be done from the
menu item manager in Joomla.
