Joomla can flip in and out of SSL mode.

Once it receives a command to go into SSL it will stay that way until getting a command to go back to http.

  • The site can be set to be SSL all the time using “Force SSL” in Global Configuration.
  • Switching to and from SSL mode is triggered by a menu item setting.
  • The front end user Login module can be set to post to https instead of http.

There’s a Joomla Plugin called SSL Redirect plugin by Yireo software that might simplify the setup if some parts of the site are SSL and some not.

http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=514&t=543111 Vector Informatics has designed this site using Joomla 1.5 and the JA T3 template framework. Content rich, making use of components for functionality (such as RS Form Pro, Autostand, many others).

We are making a case to use Joomla as a framework across multiple dealer sites, and would greatly appreciate the feedback of the community. This site needs to be the best Joomla site out there if we are to make a solid case to use Joomla as a framework for dealership website development. Joomla provides enough functionality both on the front end and the backend, both with templates and database management, to provide an environment to run an entire car dealership. This includes: Internet Marketing (SEO), Lead collection and CRM, Database Management (Autostand Joomla component), easy content creation (Articles created by managers), and a plethora of components such as Forums, Chat applications, Video, and basically anything you can imagine, through the Joomla extensions directory. And most importantly, for functions not provided by component vendors, Joomla’s open source API leaves open any development possibility.

Joomla provides ease of template installation and modification, database functionality, and an open API for development.. What more could a CMS provide?

Component vendors: ProJoom, CMSFruit, Dioscouri, Joomlart, Kunena, Autostand

The way a website should look and behave in a mobile device is significantly different than how it does on a laptop or desktop display.  We came up with a plug-in for Joomla! to make it easy to instantiate different interfaces depending on the client platform.

Websites should look & feel native to the client platform

We’ve been working on a site redesign that requires significantly different templates for laptops/desktops and mobile displays.  On the one hand, we want to optimize the UI for each device; on the other, we don’t want to force users to maintain multiple copies of every page.  That would be disgustingly inefficient, particularly for a site based on Joomla!

Instead, wouldn’t it be beautiful to have all sorts of custom templates for each mobile platform and have the appropriate template selected automatically?

Joomlaexpress is a human-edited directory of the websites relating to the open source Joomla content management system. Our mission is to provide quick access to the most relevant information about Joomla!

(MMD Newswire) August 10, 2010 — Vector Informatics releases the Vector Link Director, a link building component for Joomla.

The Vector Link Director (VLD) is a Joomla component, free for download. Add 1 link to your site free, and they will be added to all clients using the Vector Link Director. VLD will display all links in category format using a Module.

VLD is a Joomla based Link Exchange system. By adding links to the VLD directory, they will appear on all VLD client sites the next day. VLD combines a link directory with reciprocal link exchange. Knowing that your link will be added to all sites with the component, you can display the directory on your site.

Clients such as the newly opened Headquarter Nissan of Columbus Georgia will enjoy use of this tool as an automated way to build links to their site.

“Headquarter Nissan is looking for all possible ways to engage customers online, by utilizing the latest internet technologies,” says Gem Bertone, General Manager of Headquarter Nissan.  “The internet is changing the way people buy cars.  The dealership was a place where customers obtained information about cars.  That is still true today, but the difference is they can obtain it on our website instead of physically driving into the store.  So we want to provide as much information and connectivity to sources of information as possible on our website headquarternissan.com.”

Increasingly, webmasters are looking for web 2.0 SEO solutions, and Joomla is a growing tool to manage a website and organize an SEO campaign.  Vector Link Director strives to achieve this by providing ease of use combined with options, style, and design.

Have you experienced the “Joomla white screen of death?” – (everything on the site is working but when you type in the public URL it is a blank white screen?)

DON’T WORRY!  This can be due to one of many factors, all easily solvable:

- PHP configuration issue

- Component or Module with code conflict
