The Good, the Great, and the Truly Awesome Joomla Design Trends for 2017

: Written by Nate Oulman Nate Oulman; Published: 17 February 2017 17 February 2017

Much of what we see in changing design trends really has to do with the consumer. So, if you become aware of changes happening with your audience’s preferences, behaviors, or even technology usage, that’s usually a clear indication that something is about to change within your own work.

As far as 2017 goes, there is a major sea change happening with consumers across all industries. No longer is it enough to create a high-quality offering and accompanying website to show off that product or service. Now everything needs to be geared towards improving the user experience. Why? Because that is the direction everything is headed.

Your first question might be what is a favicon? Favicon stands for favorite’s icon.

Use These 10 Essential Joomla Plugins for Better Results

: Written by Steve Burge Steve Burge; Published: 19 January 2017 19 January 2017

For web developers trying to build a powerful website without overloading their servers or compromising the user experience, they know that using a CMS like Joomla is essential. As with other content management systems, Joomla’s true power lies in its extensions.

There are thousands of extensions currently available for use within Joomla. Extensions cover a wide array of integrations, including components, modules, and, of course, plugins. While components and modules are an important part of the web development process, what I want to focus on today is the Joomla plugin.

Important: Please Check Your Joomlashack Extension Versions

: Written by Steve Burge Steve Burge; Published: 15 January 2017 15 January 2017

Joomla has recently announced a new rule for extensions published on the Joomla Extensions Directory (JED).

Extensions on the JED must now support the Joomla Update System. This means that you can easily apply updates via your site's administrator area.

We're 110% behind this new rule. It will make your Joomla site safer and easier to maintain. The JED team wrote a great explanation of the benefits to website builders and extension developers.

Some of our extensions, especially the original extensions from Joomlashack, were still missing that feature. We've have been working hard over the last few weeks to make sure all Joomlashack extensions support the Joomla Update System.

How to Schedule Joomla Articles to Be Published in Future

Program Joomla Articles to Be Published in Future

One of the most useful content management features in Joomla is the "Start Publishing" option.

Start publishing allows us to decide the date when an existing article will be published automatically in future. This allows you to create time-sensitive content before you need it, and thus, you can publish it while you're still in bed or on vacation.

In this post, I'm going to explain how you can schedule articles to be published in the future.
