How to build a Joomla 3 Website - 2013

[@MrLongliveAmerica]

A true Display of Professorship, coupled together with erudite presentation skills and artistic illustration. The Presenter's humility and display of Patience is worth mentioning. I have witnessed many a seminar series on CMS and other related Topics, but in most of those talks, the Presenter ascends to the Skies and makes every body around and in the seminar hall feel as though he or she is naive and deprived of all understanding required to assimilate and learn the Content. But, here I see a Star, a true Humanitarian, a True Social Concerned Philanthropist, who with his sheer dedication has made this CMS Joomla to raise to standards that even its developers wouldn't have imagined. Just goes to say, how One Dedicated, Sincere, Society Conscious Individual wanting no Gain, no Reward, no adoration, no trumpet of glory can do. I can go on and on, in fact, I can pen a book on this act of the Presenter. Truly, I do concur with one of the Comments which stated that This Presentation will Remain to be one the Best Presentations that You tube have carried. That includes, all the Teds, and Tedx put together. Thank you.

[@iLoveWebDev]

Wow! Thanks for the kind words.

[@wsmith1213]

[@kehindeodewole5581]

iLoveWebDev please i tried installing the helix II quickstart file on my localhost but its stopping on the "Creating database tables" stage.please i need your advice asap.thanks

[@yermomchicago]

edward kenny you should contact your host for support. the creator of this video is not here to offer free technical support.

[@HullioGQ]

But Localhost is on his PC!

[@MrGrisnakh]

I couldnt agree more with MrLongliveAmerica . The video goes at the hall of fame of tutorials. Teaches joomla, points sites with free resources for a site.Thumbs up! Keep up the great work.

[@iLoveWebDev]

Thanks!

[@cellocarlos]

I had seen a lot of videos about joomla and was still lost until now. This was the best tutorial about joomla. Now I can move on. Thank you very much!

[@m3tasc0ut]

If you get a fatal error on your website instead of the blank page you're supposed to be seeing right after enabling the template, all you have to do is continue with activating the plugin as well and the error will be removed and you will see the effects take place on your website. Great tutorial by the way, learning a lot!

[@larbyrne]

This is by far the easiest tutorial I've ever been able to follow on youtube. I probably watch about 15 per week. Thanks very much.

[@VictoriaWaller81]

Thank you so much for putting this tutorial on. It truly is the best tutorial on here. I was pulling my hair out, ready to give up before discovering this video. Can't thank you enough!

[@YuliaRushworth]

So grateful for people like you who take the time to teach these skills to those who are just starting out!

[@corinneoconnor8253]

This is an excellent tutorial: Joomla made easy!!! So well explained, logical, pragmatic and on top of all this a very calm voice neither too slow nor fast and words clearly pronounced. This is equally important and pretty rare. Brilliant, in a nutshell! Many thanks indeed!!

[@dazmillion439]

Your the man. Best Joomla tutorial I have watched. It sounds stupid but I never knew I could create custom html modules and save myself a ton of trouble. Thanks

[@MichaelWilliams-lh8zz]

At last, someone who uses plain English and doesn't have some rock music soundtrack, thanks for this, it's great help

[@Karateckie]

I'm only 25 minutes in and this is so helpful! I've been reading Joomla articles and tutorials but this video is so much better and faster than reading about it. I really appreciate that you explained things for beginners very clearly.

[@Mike01010011]

This tutorial is one of the best tutorials I have ever seen on KZbin! Thank you so much for this excellent tutorial! Thank you for taking the time to clearly explain all of the steps. Thank you for being so thorough! Thank you for showing us all of those useful shortcodes and where to get them. Thank you for the interesting Image editing and form building sites. Keep up the excellent work!

[@ayodejiolusola6403]

[@josephpoole8826]

Quick question, at 37:45, the link opens up in the same tab, but for me, it always opens up on a new tab. Help please?

[@Murrinio]

. Hi, I solved it by doing following. I had the same problem. I had no html editor button available and when i entered the code from Demo site in the editor and saved it, i could see code on the front end in feature window. I struggled lot to find out solution and luckily found it. It works for me perfectly. Go to Extension and then select Module Manager Select your slide "feature" - (Whatever you gave it name) Add code in text window without any editor etc. [carousel] [carousel_item] :-) [/carousel_item] [/carousel] Check the position Button and make sure that under dropdown menu - Shaper_helix_ii - you have selected the right custom position "feature". Then go to the options and select Prepare Content "YES". It has solved my problem. :-) Hope that helps.

[@MichaelBhatia]

[@moikanos1]

The most completely tutorial i ever see!!! Grate job.

[@lgovantes1]

Absolutely great tutorial. I learned a lot, however, I did get lost a few times when you inserted code without reference to how you got there. It would be good to clarify these points. The references to the other free websites was great! You are a good teacher!

[@samuelheredia900]

An outstanding contribution to understanding Joomla. Thank you very much!

[@BigLen64]

Thanks for the tutorial! It was really a great help! Your ability to demonstrate the process in such a clear and concise manner is a great talent. There's a wealth of info in this short video for anyone who's new to Joomla! such as myself. Great job!

[@04HDRoadKing]

Thank you! This was a great tutorial. As to some of the comments, yes, some things have changed slightly, but with a little exploring, it was easy enough to figure out. I was able to have an operational website up in a day. I look forward to your future posts!

[@sayasreeni]

This is an excellent tutorial on Joomla in which you explained right from the buying a domain name until the creation of a full web site. Anyone who does not have any idea of Joomla will become confident to create web sites in Joomla. However, I would love to see how to do the version control on the changes done to a web page over a period of time. If you have already a tutorial for the same, please share the link to it.

[@georgigermanov5369]

Bravooo This is one of the best tutorials ever ! Good job !!! Best Regards !

[@serhata6906]

Thank you it's very helpful. This is the best joomla tutorial ever. Thanks again.

[@launchme6566]

Excellent tutorial, do you have anything on inserting a background image to the "feature or "header" areas of the Helix II template. This would help to make the end product have bit more depth. Thanks for your efforts.

[@Tiptoptman]

Great tutorial - One question I do have, although I hope I didn't miss it in the video, how do you edit the Copyright information in the new version? It doesn't seem to have as many options in the template manager section

[@u2y911]

Hi, Im new to joomla and I find your tutorial very easy to understand. but my problem is on the video part 0:36:10 where you teach about the button type. I did all what you have said on the video but when I look on the front-end the color of the button is not green and when I get back on the back-end and look at the Custom Output I see the code changes to this [button type=\"succes\"]Learn More![/button]. I tried to delete the backslash but every time I save it, it gets back. Pls help me on what should I do. Best regards and more power! Jerome

[@M3lvRadio]

Jerome, copy this line and it should be working perfectly: [button type="success" size="large"]...[/button]

[@u2y911]

Thanks Melvin, I've done that a couple of times but whenever I save it the backslash re-emerge. something to like this [button type=\"success"\ size=\"large"\]...[/button]

[@M3lvRadio]

jerome palermo Delete the module and make a new one, then try again.

[@u2y911]

Melvin Guijt Thanks for the Help Melvin, I Finally found my solution. I just disabled the magic_quotes_gpc from my hosting site.

[@josephglemba1883]

I went to download the helex 2 framework and it doesn't have the "plug-in" that you talked about in the video. They must have a newer version. I think it is V 2.2 Where can I get the Version you used in your video so I can get the plugin?

[@BigLen64]

Thanks again and you're very welcome! Question: How can I maintain the height of the carousel slides when alternating between images and text based slides? All my pictures are the same size, but when one of my slide with text and buttons opens the height changes to match that content. Can I add a min height variable to the short code somehow? Appreciate any help you can offer.

[@EducationPineapple]

Hello, I was doing everything in your guide and it was working perfectly under Joomla 3.14. I took break then suddeenly install joomla 3.1.5 update. Many of the buttons disappeared such as the save button in the page where you are updating the logo. What can I do?

[@macstarr1306]

Quick question, at 37:45, the link opens up in the same tab, but for me, it always opens up on a new tab. Help please? It also opens not the about us page but the home page again! please help me, Thanks!

[@mmatesic13]

Same to me... Please any solution? Thanks!

[@PMartyStuff]

Me too. Help. Anyone have an answer for this.

[@oscaragundez4472]

this worked for me, go to /plugins/system/helix/shortcodes/ and edit button.php You will something like this: return '' . do_shortcode($content) . ''; change it to: return '' . do_shortcode($content) . ''; if you look closely will see I only added some spaces on the target.

[@journeygr]

Thank you for your tutorial and I have a question. I get error code with the accordion shortcode. For example when I copy the code as you show it works. When I type the shortcode and the faq's in notepad copy and paste it as you do, it does not work. I do this because I have the text ready and I hate the question-answer copy-paste thing.Plus I noticed that when I install the quickinstall package (to check what they do) the code they used goes: [accordion id="sc-accordion"]. Any help? Thanks.

[@abdullahalshehry3182]

Keep up the great work. Thanks I rarely watch long videos but yours is amazing!

[@Tiptoptman]

id like to know what we are doing wrong. do you get some purple colour and green instead of what is shown in this video?

[@ESEKTDK2005]

is there a way to resize the container in the feature position ? Or bring the carasoul close to the main body. I have my slide sarrounded and isolated from the main body like an island in the atlantic . Please help

[@Macintoshdfr]

Hello, I want to know how you fit all resolutions? on my iMac 27 "not fit properly

[@djmattc1978]

Hi, the latest version of Joomla doesn't have the "custom output" tab so pasting in the code for Helix doesn't work. Is there a workaround?

[@anejoitodo2140]

I love the Helix template but can't seem to find the select image option to replace the Helix logo. Need some help pls.

[@shambles4060]

when I download the Helix packages, they automatically unpack into directories (that's Apple!)...but when you go to the Extension Manager and try to select a nice handy ZIP file, there isn't one...so you can't install the way you show on (this otherwise really great) video....hmmmm. Do I need to re-zip it? seems sorta silly that I can't select the top-level directory of the package, but you can't.

[@d00ublezer00]

Awesome plugin, but: With PHP7 Warning: preg_replace(): The /e modifier is no longer supported, use preg_replace_callback instead in www\plugins\content\youtubeplugin\youtubeplugin.php on line 49 How to fix this?

[@John_X_GR]

Man, i have somewhat the same with other message: Warning: A non-numeric value encountered in C:\xampp\htdocs\Joomla Test\plugins\system\helix\core\helix.php on line 548 I got php 7.1.9 Joomla 3.8.1. did you find any solution?

[@MahirDheendsa]

Greatest Tutorial, easy to follow and so informative! Thanks

[@saxopox]

Hello iLoveWebDev. Thanks so much for the tutorial. One question.. in your tutorials, there seems to be no submenus. If we were to drill down on each menu item, say About -> Location, Branch, Whatever, would the menu item still be articles? or categories? or do u have to create a separate menu within the main menu?

[@LHdoglover]

for some reason, my downloaded version of the helix template does not allow you to change the logo to your own custom logo, why is the icon not here?

[@sbcomputerentertainment]

Apache crashes everytime I change the System->Global->Editor to JCE... any solution for that? it's kinda annoying. I'm using XAMPP btw, I want to train a little (localhost) before I pay for real hosting.

[@martinf5530]

You can also consider WildWildHost . take hosting and they will build you a custom website. But if you prefer to do it yourself, thumbs up!

[@GertBowker]

I have the exact same problem with Apache crashing, I think we need to use an older version of jce,

[@sbcomputerentertainment]

I switched back to the default text editor, it's kinda the same thing just uglier.

[@GertBowker]

lol..thanks for this

[@iLoveWebDev]

That's really strange... Is caching turned on? If so, turn it off. Also, check if it works after 4 minutes on another computer and let me know what happens.

[@rpanirudh]

Hey, I'm not able to insert the image. It shows up on the editor but on the webpage all I see is \"\" instead of the image. What am I doing wrong?

[@inhometips]

Hi, thanks for this tutorial! Is there any way to have the text over the image at the left of the image instead of the botom and change the background color of the text? Thanks!

[@iLoveWebDev]

Thanks, BigLen for the kind comments!

[@Chef-Col]

thank you for your tutorial - it is excellent. I have a couple of questions: Is there a newer template you recommend now? I would like to change the background colour of menu area and also fonts for menu items?

[@jorgschempf4848]

Excellent tutorial - thanks. Do you plan to continue with this framework? For me, there are several open questions, e.g. building a footer menu, css customization. Or is there any written documentation?

[@LesGomes]

Your tutorial is very helpful but I'm stuck. At 27:27 on the video you talk about selecting 'New' for the module but when I go into module manager it doesn't have that menu that your screenshot shows (ie: New, Edit, Duplicate etc...). So how can I select it?

[@HudUniSoundEngineering]

How could I make the menu bar stick at the top even when scrolling down?

[@mrsmitho]

is this updated? im new with joomla and its editing, but yeah, the button does not change nor goes to the next page, rather the same page in a new window..

[@stanleythuita8140]

Hi, I have a problem installing Helix 3 framework following this video, could you link me on how to install the helix 3 that lacks the short codes like on the text slider?

[@bboyelf18]

Got a question, I'm currently developing a site for my company and I need to know, should I be setting the Access to "Public" on each module or article I create?

[@stevefolker2049]

I too am having trouble with the carousel - I've uploaded the helix shortcodes plug in but it's still not working. I'm still just seeing all the html displayed within the browser. What have I missed??

[@wendyrose1134]

I am using the Chapelco Joomla template and it doesn't seem to have the short codes etc that the Helix 2 has. I was wondering if you have a tutorial for editing the RokSproket Showcase as I am finding the editability very limited and frustrating. There has to be a way for me to create something nicer. I tried to copy from the test/demo, but had no luck :(

[@tacdalma]

For helix3 template is possible use the same information? or is diferent??

[@andrewthompson815]

Awesome tutorial. Learned a lot thanks. Is there anyway to have a drop down menu on your services button rather then it showing all on one page? Any help would be great thanks again.

[@mohammedshrafat9938]

Can i change the layout to be RTL rather than LTR ? and if it's possible what changes i should make?

[@TheShadetheory]

I don't get any controls at all in the WYSIWYG Editor in Module editor
