Joomla continues to be the most popular and widely used open-source content management system (CMS) as of the beginning of 2011. Its latest 1.6 release has made it easier and more intuitive to create almost any kind of page while providing you with abundance of features.
In this tutorial we will go through the newest joomla 1.6 features and teach you everything needed to get a fully functional site running.
The latest Joomla 1.6 introduces several improvements and new features such as:
- Configurable user groups and viewing levels. This will allow better access control to the site resources. This is a feature highly demanded by the community for a long time and it has finally arrived in version 1.6.
- Site structure improvements - Joomla 1.6 has switched from complex section / category structure to a more intuitive multi-level categories hierarchy. This is definitely a huge step forward towards user experience. If for you publishing in Joomla seemed complex before now it should be easier to grasp the simple concept of articles organized in multi-level categories.
- Installation and maintenance improvements. Finally it is possible to install a more complex extension with one package and there are options to automatically update Joomla and its extensions.
- SEO improvements - semantic markup along with better URL rewriting. This will allow your site built with Joomla 1.6 to be even better indexed by the search engines with less or even no help of third party Joomla SEO extensions.
There many other improvements in Joomla 1.6 which together make it faster, more powerful and easier to use while still keeping all the good features from the old version. Joomla 1.6 continues to be free, open source (GPL) and well-supported by its Open Source Matters foundation and the community.
