Joomla Advantages

Today Joomla released 1.5.3, just a month after 1.5.2 as the latest version of Joomla’s next generation of the 1.5 architecture.

While Joomla 1.5.x is very, VERY promising, and a big improvement over the 1.0.x architecture,
Joomla 1.5.x is just not there yet. I’d call it a “Vista” product.

How is Joomla 1.5 like Windows Vista? It doesn’t work well with about 90% of the existing components, modules & plugins.

There are very, VERY few components & extensions available for 1.5. If Joomla’s core features are all you need, then Joomla 1.5 is for you.

If you want to update all your Joomla 1.5 sites monthly or so, with their next “stable” version, then again, Joomla 1.5 is for you.

If you require extensions and plugins, Joomla 1.5 isn’t there yet, and it doesn’t look like it’ll happen soon.

With Joomla 1.5 being updated as frequently as it has been, it’s really far from stable in my opinion, yet some members of the Joomla community are attempting to push the architecture as being READY.

One major rumbling at a popular Joomla Template club indicates the template club will only be desiging templates for Joomla 1.5, dropping the 1.0 architecture completely. Their latest template is only available in a 1.5 version, with staff indicating “it’s time to move on…”

I can’t imagine that move will drive more business for them, only hurt their existing membership as many members are planning to “move on…” to a new template club.

So, while the rest of the world is quickly and expediantly forging full-steam ahead with Joomla 1.5, only to run into brick walls at high-speed when trying to find a functional component or plugin, we here at MyJoomlaGuide.com will continue to produce videos for both versions, 1.5 & the extremely stable 1.0.xx.

I’m excited about the future of Joomla 1.5, and I’m not willing to abandon a tried and truely stable system for one with so many less features.

I will continue to produce Video Tutorials on Joomla 1.0 & Joomla 1.5 at MyJoomlaGuide.com.

Members of MyJoomlaGuide.com receive monthly video tutorials on Joomla components & modules. I also cover inside tips and secrets on how to get the most out of each component.

How To Configure And Enable Joomla's FTP File System Layer

read more…………………………………………………………..

***ONLY do this if you have errors after you have installed Joomla. These errors will likely first arise when you try to install a new extension, such as a new template. In fact, that is an excellent way to pro-actively test if you need to enable the FTP file system layer. Go to one of the Joomla theme clubs that offer some free templates, like Joomlashack.com, Shape5.com, YouJoomla.com, RocketTheme.com, etc, and try installing a free template. I will soon have a Joomla 1.5 tutorial that shows how to install a template, but in the mean time, this tut for joomla 1.0 will suffice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jl0TdNXyXkc
The procedure is basically the same. If the install fails with errors, then, and only then, will you need to enable the FTP file system layer.
