Community Magazine

Like every month, the lovely Joomla Community Magazine team has managed to write magnificent and beautiful articles on a variety of topics. To name a few: new features, how-to's, tutorials, community interviews, recap of Joomla's participation at FOSDEM and the opportunity...

In January 2026, a small but focused group of Joomla contributors - Martin Kopp, Stefan Wendhausen, Niels Braczek, and David Jardin - came together for a discovery sprint to explore how the Joomla CMS could be enhanced with an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server.

Joomla 5.2 quietly introduced a powerful new content feature: native accordions in TinyMCE, powered by standard HTML rather than JavaScript. This gives content creators an easy way to add collapsible sections while keeping markup clean, accessible, and future-proof.

Building a conference (or any other) website doesn’t begin with design; it starts with a clear plan for content and functionality. As developers and organizers, we know a beautiful site is useless without a strategically organized approach. In this article we'll explore how to make the most of Joomla Core to build a conference website that delivers.

Every PBF there’s at least one participant that hasn’t had the ultimate Pizza, Bugs and Fun experience before. The excitement. The questions and doubts beforehand. And, eventually, the realisation that, yes, you are good enough and your contributions matter. Morteza Honar was the lucky one this time. Read all about his first PBF!

What happens when you organize a massive PBF event at not one, but two of your workplace locations, with 30 participants? Read and find out!

The Joomla project has invested considerable effort in making the CMS accessible to everyone. With every release we continue to improve this even more. Joomla’s core does well. The Joomla Community Magazine has published extensively on accessibility over the past years....

The Joomla community has once again proven the strength of open‑source collaboration. The latest edition of Pizza Bugs & Fun (PBF) brought together more than 150 participants across 14 countries, uniting contributors of all skill levels for two days of testing, documenting, fixing, learning and yes, sharing pizza.

Reem Atalah, a backend Engineer from Cairo, Egypt, joined Joomla during Google Summer of Code 2025. In short, she developed a smart, dynamic way to migrate content from WordPress to Joomla. She learned a lot more along the way: in this article she tells us how working for Joomla showed her the power of open source and collaboration.

Over the last twenty years, the Italian Joomla community has undergone a period of radical transformation, with significant changes in many areas.

No doubt you will have heard of the successful Joomla 8 sprint that was held last autumn to roadmap Joomla for the future. And I think it would be fair to say that we, as a community have a good idea of what Joomla is and what it can do.

FOSDEM stands for Free and Open-source Software Developers' European Meeting.
Going to FOSDEM is like travelling back in time through the ages of the digital world.

A few weeks ago, just for a bit of fun, I used AI and shared in a Joomla group a picture of a mate dressed up as Super Joomler! Let's be honest, it was also a bit to show off!

Bad move on my part! 

Having one user account that works across a number of websites can save a lot of bother with joining new services.
