Joomla
is a PHP based CMS i.e., content management system. It is one of the
best open source content management systems of the industry. It helps in
developing quick web applications which are basically content driven.
That means we can create a news portal, blugs etc using Joomla. Today we
will discuss about some of its important modules and some third party
plugins or modules to help the Joomla developers creating interactive
web applications. Let us start with some inbuilt modules of Joomla.
Breadcrumbs: As
the name suggests breadcrumb is a module in the Joomla CMS which can be
used to make the user understand the current location in the web
application. While browsing a website, sometimes the user enters into a
new environment which may give him an embracing feeling. To prevent the
same Joomla PHP developers can integrate the breadcrumb module which
will display the status of current web page.
Archived articles: While
dealing with a content driven website, the web developer must ensure
that all the posts or articles are placed in a systematic manner. We can
keep a set of articles or blogs according to their date of publish
using a month wise archived directory. We can place this module in the
right panel of the website so that the user can browse different
articles which are published previously.
Articles- newsflash: This
is an extremely important module of Joomla CMS. This module helps in
providing a list of latest articles to the user within a specific
location. This is extremely helpful if the web developer can give
special visual effects to the module like blinking of titles or colour
change so that it can be highlighted to the user.
Articles category: PHP developers
must use this module in order to differentiate between different types
of articles. Assume a website containing a block of articles on sports,
entertainment, politics etc. So the user must be given the control to
choose his category from the website. In that case articles category
module helps in lots of way to provide inter-related articles to the end
user. This will improve the user experience as a whole.
Login: This
is one of the most vital modules of Joomla CMS while building a content
driven web application. The administrator usually tries to e-campaign
his website using various methods like e-mail sending, SMS sending and
through social networks etc. To achieve the same the PHP developer must
build an application which can take the visitors e-mail ID through sign
up process. Later on the web administrator can send him up-date mails
from his website to attract him to come back to his website. Moreover,
it also helps the user to feel like a privileged user.
Menu: Menu
is an integral part of any web application. Its importance can never be
ignored by any web developer. Menu helps the user to roam around the
web application in a hassle free manner. It improves the user experience
of the web application.
Most read content: This
is one of the vital modules for any content driven website. Because
this highlights some of the most visited web pages of the website. This
helps the user to stick with the quality content of the web application.
Besides
above mentioned modules, there are many in-built and third party
plugins and modules which can be used in developing industry standard
content driven web applications.
