Joomla is becoming one of the famous names on the Internet. This is because it is simply one of the best content management systems on the Internet. The versatility of the CMS makes it truly a favorite amongst many web developers.
The Joomla Platform is distributed to two main versions namely the 1.0 and 1.5. This article however, will focus more on version 1.5 as it is the most updated version of Joomla.
One popular extension is the JCE which is a WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) editor. This is a very handy editor which simplifies any need for html editing. The user can work on a page as if using a word processor and the JCE editor will take care of the HTML coding needed.
The next extension on the list is the AllVideos extension made by JoomlaWorks. The plugin allows the user to post videos from popular video hosting sites such as YouTube, MetaCafe and many others. Those that would want to use media contents hosted from their own servers may also do so as the plugin supports playback of more than 10 different media formats such as .swf, .flv and many others. This is really a handy plugin for those wanting to embed some videos to their site.
Those that are thinking of running an e-commerce site can do so through Joomla’s VirtueMart plugin. Created by Sören Eberhardt-Biermann, this extension is very handy and has a lot of addons available at the user’s disposal. It is truly a versatile solution for any e-commerce site. Most often than not, it will have all the features needed by the user without any need to create new addons.
There are many other extensions which may be of great use to the user. However, bear in mind that these extensions will surely use some server resources so it is best not to overdo in installing these extensions.
