Recapping a Fantastic JoomlaDay at Malaysia

Pourquoi choisir une extension listée sur le JED ?

Bien souvent sur les réseaux sociaux, les utilisateurs de Joomla! viennent chercher des réponses aux questions du type "quelle extension choisir pour mon site Joomla! ?" ou encore "ou trouver une extension pour Joomla! ?". Tout naturellement et lorsque j'ai l'occasion de le faire, je les redirige vers le Joomla Extension Directory qui est l'outil qui recense toutes les extensions actuellement disponibles pour Joomla! 3. Cependant, quasiment personne n'a posé la question de savoir pourquoi il faut choisir une extension listée sur le JED. C'est pourtant à cette question importante que cet article va tenter de répondre.

Celebrate Joomla's 10th Birthday

Celebrate Joomla's 10th Birthday

On August 17th Joomla will be 10 years old. That's a truly amazing achievement for any open source project especially one that is 100% community run without any corporate overlord or backer. 10 years of a global community working together motivated not by money or personal gain but solely to create something that the world can use freely. As I look back to the events of August 2005 and the decision we made to leave the comfort of Mambo and start this journey it is hard for me to believe what we have achieved in that time.

Dernière chance de mettre à jour à partir de Joomla! 2.5

Ceci est un avis important sur la sécurité et la mise à jour de notre site Joomla! 2.5.
