Joomla

CMS stands for content management system; a computer application used to create, edit, publish, and manage different kinds of data, including computer files, image media, audio files, video files, electronic documents, and Web content. You do not need too many technical skills to manage a CMS, since it does most of the work for you.

Joomla is one of the most popular CMS for publishing content on the World Wide Web. This award-winning CMS includes features like forums, RSS feeds, news flashes, polls, website searching, and page caching. There are thousands of extensions for Joomla, including plugins, components, and modules. Joomla was built with PHP and operates under a GPL License. The name Joomla comes from the Swahili word jumla which means "all together" or "as a whole" and represents Joomla's developers' compromise toward the web developers community. Easy to use, open-source, and extensible, it is hard to believe that Joomla is freely available to everyone.

Joomla Web Development, Components, Modules, and Plugins for All

Joomla websites are all different, but their functioning always depends on components, modules, and plugins. Redacron Studios has worked with other designers' modules, plugins, and components, and, in some cases, we have had to develop plugins, modules, and components ourselves. Joomla is open-source, and the number of modules, plugins, and components is always growing, allowing web designers to develop professional websites faster and efficiently.

Some of the Joomla components we have worked with in the past are:

• Alpha Registration With AlphaRegistration, improve your Joomla! register form and secure it with reCaptcha system and BotScout service. With AlphaRegistration, you can displaying an image for each step of registering user and add a check box to accept terms of use of your website. Install the component, then, check settings and that's all. No need install a new module for login. AlphaRegistration works with the login module of Joomla! (No need to create a menu linked to this component)
• Alpha User Points A combination of components, modules, and plugins, AlphaUserPoints is a referral user points system. It's a component that can distribute or assign points to registered users according to some of its actions and activity on your website. AlphaUserPoints acts as an incentive promoting participation of users. Users often strive for more recognition, as well as competition. It's also usefull for contest, challenge, participation, game, online store. This component has its own component of invite/recommendation to referer which can also be used by non-registered users (based on AlphaRecommend).
No need install a new module for login. AlphaRegistration works with the login module of Joomla! (No need to create a menu linked to this component)
• JomSocial Now everyone can create a thriving, unique and interactive Joomla! community... effortlessly!
• Kunena Kunena - the leading Joomla based forum/discussion component. It powers >500k Joomla forums around the world.
• LyftenBloggie LyftenBloggie is a full featured, user friendly and powerful blog system component for the Joomla! 1.5. LyftenBloggie is both free and opensource.
• VirtueMart With its fully-featured eCommerce engine, VirtueMart is perfect to sell your Goods online and drive your Business to new Heights. Despite being Open Source Software it powers large Online Shops providing the Performance, Usability and Security you expect from professional Software.
• Jfusion JFusion will take care of user creation, synchronisation and dual login across multiple softwares. You select a master software for all user management and JFusion automatically updates the "slave" softwares. At Redacron.com, we use it to marry Joomla with OsCommerce, or Joomla with PHPBB.

Joomla web design always ends with websites that anyone can manage and even configure at a low cost. Templates for Joomla can be altered to show your company's logo, products, information, and much more.

Stores owners can set up their own internet shops, change banners, add or remove products, and even define the structure of their website.

osCommerce Joomla through JFusion or JosC!

VirtueMart allows us to have a Joomla website with a shopping cart. However, some people are used to having OsCommerce isntead of VirtueMart and would like to have both systems working together. Redacron Studios allows us to do this either through Jfusion or JosC!. There are advantages to having Joomla and OsCommerce working together, and, with our help, you can exploit those advantages.
