It took me a few months to study joomla. First, it was attracted by the joomla architecture. in the past, the website background could be structured like an operating system, by installing plug-ins or components to add and subtract functions, the more you learn, the more you like, and gradually become addicted to joomla. Many problems have also been encountered during the learning process, which can be basically solved through your own practices. Based on this, I want to share my experiences in the learning process with you.

Note: Understand the terms "components", "plug-ins", and "menus" specific to joomla ".

The flexibility of the joomla structure also makes it necessary to get started with joomla, that is, to understand the website in joomla's way of thinking. Because our cms in China is mainly developed in terms of ease of use and its functions are relatively fixed, there will be a lot of discomfort and incomprehension from converting cms in China to the joomla system.

Component: it can be simply understood as a functional module.

Plug-ins: data calls

Menu: The menu of joomla is very different from the menu in the general sense. In joomla, a menu is actually an intermediate link between function implementation and navigation. building a joomla website can be considered as a menu organization in a sense. For example, we can build several classified article modules.

In the cms in China, the process is to create a category in the background and publish an article. Basically, the foreground can see the automatic classification and text summarization.

The steps in joomla are: Create a category in the background and post an article; then create a menu in the menu options of joomla, then, you can connect the text category provided by the "component" or the corresponding data connection of the article in the menu bar, and confirm the position of the menu display before you can see the menu and the corresponding text category.

After comparison, we can find that the process of joomla website creation is relatively complicated, but such complexity can bring more flexibility, because menus can not only be used to classify links to articles, it can be linked to any component or plug-in to provide any function. it can be an image or html code ......

Experience 2: Build a local joomla website platform for debugging and learning.

Therefore, it is necessary to build a joomla platform locally for learning. I suggest recommended the development of the http://apmserv.s135.com/this can be in the windows test platform, simple, convenient, green and stable.

Tip 3: observe and modify a mature template library.

Any learning is inseparable from imitation. download a template you like. Generally, foreign templates contain corresponding components, plug-ins, menus ,...... Basically, you can use a mature template, so you can start to get started with joomla.
