Il giornale che avremmo voluto fare

E-mail Print PDF
settimanale-il-mondofeature-3

C’è una canzone; c’è un film; c’è un giornale che ogni volta che mi assale la nostalgia per quello che avrei voluto fare di più nella mia vita mi ritornano alla mente.

La canzone, l’unica mi pare che abbia inciso, è “Maintenant je sais” di Jean Gabin. Uscì alla fine degli anni ‘70 con un 45 giri e non fu mai tradotta in italiano. E’ il racconto della vita di un uomo che a 60 anni scopre di non saper nulla dopo aver detto per tutta la vita “adesso io so”. Mi riconosco in quel uomo.

OGGI NASCE UN SOGNO!

Editoriale, pubblicato sul numero 0 , anno 0 del magazine ischia news & eventi di dicembre 2009.

Oggi per noi nasce un sogno! Che tale non deve certo rimanere! Ma che piano piano deve trasformarsi in una realtà condivisa e, perché no, partecipata da tanti amici!

E’ il momento di condividere e tentare di trasmettere l’amore che abbiamo per la nostra Ischia a tutti coloro che, affascinati dalla sua bellezza, senza dubbio violentata negli ultimi tempi, vorranno conoscerla, imparare ad amarla e a difenderla.

Is it possible to change A Menu Item's Type?

E-mail Print PDF

You indeed can change the Menu Item's Type to whatever you want, even after they have been created.

If, for instance, you want to change the Blog Section of a Menu link, go to the Control Panel->Menus Menu->[menuname]->Menu Item Manager and edit the Menu Item. Select the Change Type button and choose the new style of Menu Item Type from the available list. Thereafter, alter the Details and Parameters to reconfigure the display for the new selection as you require it.

Support and Documentation

E-mail Print PDF

Support

Support for the Joomla! CMS can be found on several places. The best place to start would be the official Help Site. Here you can help yourself to the information that is regularly published and updated as Joomla! develops. There is much more to come too!

Of course you should not forget the Help System of the CMS itself. On the topmenu in the Back-end Control panel you find the Help button which will provide you with lots of explanation on features.

Another great place would of course be the Forum . On the Joomla! Forum you can find help and support from Community members as well as from Joomla! Core members and Working Group members. The forum contains a lot of information, FAQ's, just about anything you are looking for in terms of support.

Two other resources for Support are the Joomla! Developer Network (JDN) and the Joomla! Extensions Directory (JED). The Developer Network for example provides lots of technical information for the experienced Developer as well as those new to Joomla! and development work in general. The JED whilst not a support site in the strictest sense has many of the Extensions that you will need as you develop your own Web site.

The Joomla! Core members are regularly posting their blog reports about several topics such as programming techniques used in Joomla!, Security, Events and more. You can even subscribe to get notified by e-mail when a new blog post is made!

Documentation

Joomla! Documentation can of course be found on the Help Site. You can find information such as an Installation Guide, User and Administrator manuals, Frequently Asked Questions and a lot more. The User Documentation Team are the guardians of the documentation relating to the practical use of Joomla!. The Developer Documentation Team are the stalwarts behind detailing how Joomla! works from the ground up and how you can develop your own Extensions and Templates and much more.

Other than the documentation provided by the Joomla! Documentation Work Groups there are also books written about Joomla! You can find a listing of these books in the Joomla! Bookshelf.

If you want to help in the documentation project for Joomla! then please post your details on the User Documentation Forum or the Developer Documentation Forum

Content Layouts

E-mail Print PDF

Joomla! provides plenty of flexibility when displaying your Web content. Whether you are using Joomla! for a blog site, news or a Web site for a company, you'll find one or more content styles to showcase your information. You can also change the style of content dynamically depending on your preferences. Joomla! calls how a page is laid out a layout. Use the guide below to understand which layouts are available and how you might use them.

Content

Joomla! makes it extremely easy to add and display content. All content is placed where your mainbody tag in your template is located. There are three main types of layouts available in Joomla! and all of them can be customised via parameters. The display and parameters are set in the Menu Item used to display the content your working on. You create these layouts by creating a Menu Item and choosing how you want the content to display.

Blog Layout

Blog layout will show a listing of all Articles of the selected blog type (Section or Category) in the mainbody position of your template. It will give you the standard title, and Intro of each Article in that particular Category and/or Section. You can customise this layout via the use of the Preferences and Parameters, (See Article Parameters) this is done from the Menu not the Section Manager!

Blog Archive Layout

A Blog Archive layout will give you a similar output of Articles as the normal Blog Display but will add, at the top, two drop down lists for month and year plus a search button to allow Users to search for all Archived Articles from a specific month and year.

List Layout

Table layout will simply give you a tabular list of all the titles in that particular Section or Category. No Intro text will be displayed just the titles. You can set how many titles will be displayed in this table by Parameters. The table layout will also provide a filter Section so that Users can reorder, filter, and set how many titles are listed on a single page (up to 50)

Wrapper

Wrappers allow you to place stand alone applications and Third Party Web sites inside your Joomla! site. The content within a Wrapper appears within the primary content area defined by the "mainbody" tag and allows you to display their content as a part of your own site. A Wrapper will place an IFRAME into the content Section of your Web site and wrap your standard template navigation around it so it appears in the same way an Article would.

Content Parameters

The parameters for each layout type can be found on the right hand side of the editor boxes in the Menu Item configuration screen. The parameters available depend largely on what kind of layout you are configuring.

I installed with my own language, but the Back-end is still in English

E-mail Print PDF

A lot of different languages are available for the Back-end, but by default this language may not be installed. If you want a translated Back-end, get your language pack and install it using the Extension Installer. After this, go to the Extensions Menu, select Language Manager and make your language the default one. Your Back-end will be translated immediately.

Users who have access rights to the Back-end may choose the language they prefer in their Personal Details parameters. This is of also true for the Front-end language.

A good place to find where to download your languages and localised versions of Joomla! is on our Help Site.

What languages are supported by Joomla! 1.5?
