Community Magazine

Joomla 6 is out and it brings a great example of a Child Template with new options for colors and font sizes. 

In the September Issue of the Magazine I started a new CSS Series with short explanations of modern CSS properties and functions. Today’s article is about Subgrids.

When we're busy with deadlines and to-do lists, it can be difficult to keep up with new technologies. CSS has evolved dramatically in recent years, and it's not always easy to keep up with the latest developments.

In this article (perhaps it will become a series), I want to focus on a change that makes code easier and more flexible to write, especially for multilingual websites.

Twenty years of development, twenty years of commitment, twenty years of working together: if we'd ask every Joomler to create a timeline of what they consider the highlights and milestones of Joomla's first two decades, no two timelines would be the same. Nevertheless we wanted to give it a try. If you think anything is missing, please use the comments section to tell us what it is and why it should be there! And we'd really love it if you share your personal Joomla highlights as well, you can also do that in the comments. But first, have a look at our impressive timeline!

Is it possible to create a timeline using only Joomla core? You probably already know the answer: yes, with a little override and a few lines of CSS ;-). This article explains how to do it using the Articles Module in Joomla. See it in action here: Joomla Milestones 2005-2025.

If your website (or your client’s website) features blogs or articles by multiple authors, you may want to have author pages showing their bio and links to the articles they’ve written. Here’s how to do that with Joomla’s core contact component.

No Overrides: Four creative ways to modify your content using CSS grid

In this article I will show you how to modify the blog layout and the articles module in Cassiopeia (or any other template that is using the core views) without overrides, just by applying CSS grid layout.

In the Magazine we have a lot of articles about tweaking different elements in Cassiopeia: 

Joomla! 5 - The Articles Module

In Joomla 5.2, the Articles Module was introduced, a new module that should replace the existing modules (Articles - Archived, Articles - Category, Articles - Latest, Articles - Most Read and Articles - Newsflash). The Articles Module combines all parameters of the old modules, includes new ones and enables you to showcase your articles in different ways.

If you have followed my writings in the Magazine, you already know that I really like overrides. Overrides have helped me understand how Joomla works and they give me the possibility to change almost everything without breaking Joomla core.
