Editor's Notes
- My name is Brian Teeman and I'm from england
- we’re here today and tomorrow to learn more about joomla
- 2 years in the making and this is just the startlets look at whats new
- too many new things to mention so here are MY highlights
- you can still use acl just like in 1.5 if you want to
- acl is hard you need to think and plan very carefully
- no more sections, categories of unlimited depth
- language overrides for your site - dont get destroyed by an upgrade
- content in multiple languages content NOT linked suitable for small sites NOT joomfish
- bye bye 404
- redirect - customise the url for 404 and redirects old urls with a 301 - even use as a tiny url generator
- many people installed community builder just to collect extra data from their members
- Save (was apply) - now like every other application Save and close Save and new - takes you direct to a blank content item Save as copy productivity boost
- quick link to add content or category or menu
- we’ve all had it happen the session expires and then we have to find out where we were before. NOW when you log back in you return to where you were when the session expired
- new things with modules
- easy to assign. easy to EXCLUDE All pages No Pages Selected Pages EXCEPT selected pages
- just like content modules can now start and end based on time
- see what modules are assigned on the menu manager + assign new ones
- On occasion, you want a slightly different look to one page or a handful of pages on the site. Previously, this might mean coding a completely different template. Now, with template styles, you can easily create minor template variations, which can then be assigned to specific pages on the website.
- all core output files are written in XHTML 1.0 Strict. HTML 5 is also supported in Joomla! 1.6.
- Template overrides vs Layout overrides: In Joomla! 1.5, you could change the look of some of Joomla’s output files via template overrides. However, you couldn’t change those output files just for a few pages. With the new improved layout overrides, you can alter the look of specific menu items, components, modules, and categories.
- accessibility built in this is in the ADMIN
- php 4 was dead 8/8/8 over 2 years ago. get a real HOST!!!!!
- no legacy mode for 1.0 OR 1.5!!!! explain this properly
- its really a migration not an upgrade depends on 3rd party upgrader need to see if you have 1.6 extensions YOU DONT HAVE TO!!!!
- lots more under the hood especially for developers with many new possibilities and triggers
- download
- i cant look into my crystal ball and tell you
- the future is up to you get involved translations, user groups, write extensions, create templates
- switch to time based not feature based aim to release every 6 months 1.7 will be focussed on content , search , management
- some versions will be long term support so joomla 1.5 for approx 15 months but 1.6 and 1.7 only 6 months
- thats all - time up
- grab me at any time with any questions preferably with a coffee
