Message-ID: I couldn't be more new to Joomla and CMS from a developers prospective. I have looked through the Joomla web site, and while everything looked very interesting I still have some questions. Forgive me if they were addressed elsewhere since it is possible I overlooked them. I have gone through most of the online demo for Joomla. Here are my developer's related questions so far: As a PHP developer, what is the relationship of PHP to Joomla? How do I incorporate PHP into Joomla? How do I maintain and manage PHP development within a Joomla environment? Does Joomla know the difference between HTML and PHP code in its pages? Does an entire web site application need to be in Joomla? Can some parts of the site remain purely PHP and still work with Joomla? Or is there no reason why the entire web application shouldn't be in Joomla? Are their limitations with Joomla as a CMS tool that I should be aware of as a PHP developer? Can Joomla have access to Linux easily to execute a shell script (that you have file permissions to), for example? As I am designing a new web application from the start with the intention of making the entire web site in PHP where pages would be dynamically created to obtain fresh data from a MySQL database, how can I use Joomla to best handle the CMS functions? How do I take a web/graphic designer's design/layout and put this into Joomla? Are their any limitations of how the web pages must look in Joomla? If some kind soul feels these questions are of little interest to others on the list, please feel free to reply to me via e-mail directly.

Or is > there no reason why the entire web application shouldn't be in Joomla? Again depends on what you're doing: I wrote a custom component for managing audio tracks but because I wanted it to become part of the backend, it seemed easier to use the existing API to write it than simply coding it from the ground up in PHP (also, since it worked off the products database in Virtuemart, another plugin I was using, it seemed easier to integrate it as a component). > Are their limitations with Joomla as a CMS tool that I should be aware > of as a PHP developer? Can Joomla have access to Linux easily to > execute a shell script (that you have file permissions to), for > example? Well, the back end allows you to write config files, install components/plugins/templates and edit certain files (e.g. stylesheets) so yes you can do whatever PHP can do (assuming permissions are set correctly, etc). > As I am designing a new web application from the start with the > intention of making the entire web site in PHP where pages would be > dynamically created to obtain fresh data from a MySQL database, how can > I use Joomla to best handle the CMS functions? What is your application? If your application handles written content then it would benefit to have *some* sort of content management tool such as Joomla for writers to use, (sorry, phpmyadmin does *not* count as a content management tool ;-). Otherwise you will end up writing some kind of back end from scratch which is a lot more work than working with Joomla instead. > > How do I take a web/graphic designer's design/layout and put this into > Joomla? Most probably you will make template/templates from the design - essentially the process is taking the HTML and adding the PHP code in it for blocks that are generated by Joomla. (The PHP code will call a Joomla function telling it to put certain modules at the current location in the page). Sounds complicated but generally most areas of the page will be static so it ends up being relatively simple. In my case (an e-commerce site selling CDs and having streaming audio) the template ended up being ONE file (plus stylesheet and a few images). Because I used a plugin to perform most of the ecommerce back end functions it was realtively easy to build a site fast. > Are their any limitations of how the web pages must look in > Joomla?

Joomla is a PHP app. What you know in PHP will make you better in Joomla. You can mix/match pages, if you want, but I'm not sure you'll find that in your best interest. You will find Joomla works well on Linux and you will also learn how Joomla *is* your CMS function. It is well featured and has lots of additional stuff to go with it. Give it a couple days of serious playing with and you'll see what I mean. ciao! leam On Tue, Jul 18, 2006 at 04:35:29AM -0400, David A.Roth wrote: > I couldn't be more new to Joomla and CMS from a developers prospective. > I have looked through the Joomla web site, and while everything looked > very interesting I still have some questions.

Thanks! www.joomlasolutions.com used to have a DreamWeaver extension so you could output your design as a template file. Not sure if it is still actively maintained, but you might want to check that out. If the designers had access to something like that, then it would be reasonable to ask them to take that step. However, you still need a little PHP knowledge in order to create templates by hand, and that may be asking too much from a graphic designer. I suppose it ultimately depends on the skills of your designer. -- Mitch From cozimek at picnet.net Sun Jul 23 21:45:39 2006 From: cozimek at picnet.net (Ryan W.

The reason is that when they're building module-like entities in their designs, they can think about building it out in such a way that allows you as a developer and admin to more effectively manage the modules on your template. After a go at using Joomla, most designers can understand the ability to be flexible that modules have, and breakout their designs accordingly.
