Joomla is one of three
most popular content management systems (CMS) used all over the
world. One of the major reasons for its popularity is the flexibility
of scalability it offers for small to large organizations. As the
popularity of the Joomla CMS increases all over the globe, there are
certain misconceptions and pre-conceived notions that are clouded
among the users. In order to help you find the best solutions and
alleviate the thoughts we have compiled some of the top misunderstood
concepts and myths which ultimately results into irreparable flaws.
Inefficient To
Protect User Data
The foremost common
misunderstanding among the users is Joomla does not have enough
security level to protect the crucial information of the users
because it is an open source and available free of cost. Just because
the Joomla source code is open to everyone and accessible, it does
not make it vulnerable, but in fact, thousands users who are working
on the development part immediately patch the vulnerability, if any
such issues are detected. Moreover, Joomla offers you the facility to
create multi-user permissions which ensures a high level of
protection. Useful tip is to use only essential extensions like
modules, plug-ins or components so you can also control and measure
at your level.
Blog Application Is
Not Joomlas’s Cup of Tea
For those who are
planning to launch a website with blogging application. Joomla comes
with a built-in blog application so you do not have to install any
third party applications or extensions. In fact, most of the blogging
sites that you read online have been using Joomla for posting their
blogs. However, if you need advanced features for blogging then you
can always use blog extensions from the Joomla website. Moreover, if
you are planning to launch a blog, then Wordpress is the best option
and if you are interested in full fledged blogging with the website
then we recommend Drupal or Joomla.
Editing Joomla Is a
Child’s Play
Choose any content
management system, be it Joomla or any other, it is difficult to find
the exact extension as per your interest or requirements. You can
extend or customize the available extension using your technical
development skills. So, for those who need an extension without any
customization, there is an array of options. But, if you are looking
for an extension which can satisfy all your requirements then you
will have to get all your coding basics clear and get to the war
ground.
Joomla Is Not For
Smart Phones
Where the evolving
technology has touched each and every corner of the segments and
industry, how can it be possible that the highly used CMS platform is
still in the dark. People who still believe that the Joomla has not
been upgraded to support the mobile platforms should come to light
and witness the latest admin panel of Joomla which is responsive. In
fact, it is not only important, but mandatory for any CMS in the
market to upgrade it to support the latest features and functionality
to survive the competition.
Joomla is Not Well
Supported
Major confusion and
misconception among the people is that, Joomla is an open source
software and you do not get the proper customer service or technical
support. In fact, there are thousands of people involved in the
development process of Joomla, who are actively in support of people
who are using it. They offer suggestions to your queries, roll out
upgrades with bug fixes, security patches and issues in the previous
versions. Further, there is constant addition in the themes,
extensions and new features as well as the functionalities of Joomla.
In fact, instead of different level of support in the commercial
solutions, everyone gets the same level of support.
Joomla is not
reliable
Most of you who are
reading this blog must have decent knowledge of Joomla and must be
working on Joomla for quite some time. You must very well know that
to get some desired result, you will have to do some basic steps. In
the constantly evolving technology, and increasing number of
commercial software in the market, we have reached to a point where
most people think that freely available open source solutions are not
qualitative or reliable. The theory of open source is unreliable does
not fit for all the software, especially in the case of Joomla.
It was essential to
demystify the critical myths and misunderstanding of Joomla for
organizations which incorporate the solution in their ecosystem to
benefit out of it. If you are planning to integrate Joomla with your
