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]

[@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!

[@YuliaRushworth]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@ayodejiolusola6403]

The best tutor I have ever come across online! Wow! Keep up the good work.

[@anthonyeneje97]

Thank you very much ILoveWebDev without your online tutorials I wouldn't have been able to build a site for my coursework. I’m really grateful, Thank you very much

[@mbrooke1723]

Great tutorial; instructions were not too fast or slow; easy to follow. Thanks for the time putting this together

[@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]

Thanks Mizzy, that was doing my head in!!!

[@andreasbrandl8720]

[@JohnBrandBrilliance]

Thanks. This is such a great tutorial. I've expanding from Contao CMS and Wordpress and you show all the little things you need to look out for an watch out for. Now I understand how it all fits together.

[@GabREAL1983]

your videos saved my life, need to make a website for school. without that stuff i'd be lost... thanks a ton.

[@VAR_life]

Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand... and that's exactly what I've done, understood. A brilliant tutorial, thank you so much.

[@yentehegarty9177]

I cannot say thank you enough! What a brilliant tutorial! I would never have managed without your great instructions...thank you!!!

[@jggourley]

Your tutorial is very very helpful. Building a quality website is not easy and you have helped greatly in getting me started. Thanks

[@samuelheredia900]

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

[@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.

[@SibeleCastro]

Congrats, it's fantastic! Most tutorials are difficult to understand, but this one was pretty easy and pleasant to follow

[@clencorestudios]

This is awesome. You have amazing knowledge on your subject. I wish to see you doing more of these tutorials. It is straight forward and the presenter is clear and does everything according to the script. Keep up the good work

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

[@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!

[@SAlmanKhanDev]

You are awesome, you kept the whole tutorial interesting. I have learned joomla in just 1 hour and 25 minutes. Thank you Michael, i'll just request you to make a video of creating custom template for joomla 3 right from the scratch! Cheers!

[@bksgm]

Only having limited knowledge of HTML to set up a Website, this is a Gift From God. Thank You Very Much. No doubt, I will have to listen to you once again before I begin to follow and build my own website but this time, I am hoping to get the smartest website. I am also hoping that other info from the internet will help me place my site on Page One of the Google Search. Thanks once again.

[@FrankAlbanese]

Nice Job! This was my first exposure to Joomla and you made it very painless. Thanks for a very informative video.

[@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!

[@MrSchmek]

Thank you very much! your tutorials have helped me alot with my websites.

[@desireeross9651]

Best joomla tutorial I've seen. Thank you very much

[@billywhizzy]

Very good Tutorial!! Is there any way I can create this offline where I can view it myself and when I'm happy with the project I just switch it on? Thanks for your videos.. Love them all!

[@ThePoorInvestor]

THE BEST TUTORIAL EVER!!! THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH!!!

[@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

[@qudusprotocols5133]

i love ur tutorial. but how can this tutorial be helpful with joomla 3.4.3. i followed u r tutorial to build a website with the version of joomla. i couldnt do slide module right. the code on the module custom is what i get back on my website. nice work though.

[@satyag1441]

Thank you. It is very useful who are start learning the great JOOMLA.

[@PeggyCarpenterMindOfAGamer]

Awesome, thorough and easy-to-understand!

[@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?

[@PramodKumarx]

Made my life a lot easier. The best tutorial on web on Joomla :)

[@mahfujalam903]

Very nicely explained.. love from India !!

[@djmattc1978]

Great tutorial, excellent work. I've been through this a couple of times already and built a couple of web sites and yet again it has saved me as I've accidentally messed up my web site and need to build it again but with your tutorial it will be easy :)

[@abdullahalshehry3182]

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

[@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?

[@chrisnordstrom5924]

Applause!!! Great tutorial. Really. Made me start with Joomla and throw Dreamweaver out.

[@AndreasBaumgartnerMUC]

Mizzy Rehman pointed something important for Joomla 3.4 out (way down in the comments): "Then go to the options and select Prepare Content "YES"." Then the slider will work.

[@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.

[@RRLair]

Great Job! This tutorial was extremely helpful. Is there anyway to change the background color of the "feature" area so its not blue, green, or red (any other color or no color at all)? Also can you changed the bottom background color of the footer? Again, great job

[@shynelp]

Great Video Tut... For those who could not get the slide working . Please go back to helix website and download the "shortcode generator" and install it to Extension Manager , once done activate the short code generator from plugin Manager and then go back to your slide page and right at bottom of the editor you should now find a shortcode generator button , select and choose how many slides you need...pretty easy from there !

[@mjjt81]

Excellent tutorial, As all the greats do makes it look so easy.

[@aishwarygupta6765]

Thank you for this great tutorial!!,I am a beginner and I have a small doubt, i am using a different theme(the big easy), so will the procedure to put text slider remain same?

[@kubanpillay4888]

You are a hero :) Thank you for such an awesome and educational video. For anyone wanting to get started with joomla this is def the video to watch. Thanks to wonderful souls like yourself that people like ourselves. You are so thorough and patient and was such a pleasure listening and watching every min of this tutorial. I will forever remember you as the guy that got me started on my joomla journey :) May you be greatly blessed in both your business and your personal life for all the help :)

[@va19theo78]

Nice tutorial! What about if i want to change the height of the slider or to place a full width/height picture on it?

[@anarorujov6121]

Very helpful tutorial. Clear explanation. Thanks a lot!

[@princeanon]

Thanks for this tutorial. Really informative. This helped me alot. Keep up the great work!!!!

[@fanreymysterio619]

And all that only took 1 and a half hours! Brilliant!!! ...

[@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?

[@m4u939]

This tutorial is awesome!!! Thanks from Spain!

[@argieangeleas530]

first of all i'd like to tell you that the video is PERFECT and totally helpful. I'd like to ask you if it is possible to make the textslider rotate by itself ! ? Thanks

[@gregorianaable]

Thank you very, very much for all your tutorials!!!!! God bless you.

[@JahanzebKhan1]

You made joomla easy for us! Thank you so much!

[@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.

[@DedicatedJerk]

Thank you very much! Very thorough tutorial. This beats a lot of the hard coding I've done in the past with better results too. Have you done any JQuery Ajax with Joomla 3?

[@dimitardimitroff9763]

Hi:) Can I ask you one question? Where or how I can change the width and the height of the image slider? Perfect tutorial!

[@justinanderson5175]

This post was incredibly insightful.

[@dejanvjestica7349]

good job, you my friend are amazing narrator, easy to follow. thanks a loot for your time.

[@iLoveWebDev]

Dejan Vjestica Thanks Dejan, thanks for watching!

[@AliClay]

Yes you can. Just install a local webserver on your computer and you can design your page and only upload to a host server when you are done. XAMPP and WAMPSERVER are two such free local webservers......

[@Krisj2k]

This was really good! Best Joomla tutorial, by far. Thank you so much

[@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.

[@VitorJuliao]

Very good tutorial! Thanks to share all these informations with us!

[@BraveHeartsltd]

Great tutorial, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us all, very much appreciated.

[@myanmarpleasantsongs6094]

You are great brother. but i have one question i use joomla 3.3 text editor dont exit html. cant input button and slide arrow. waiting your adv.........thanks

[@sebyGSXR]

I HAVE A QUESTION. I'VE ALLREADY STARTED TO BUILD THE WEB SITE . IF I INSTALL HELIX THE ACTUALY CONTENT WILL CHANGE OR WILL STAY JUST THE SAME. I AM AFRAID THAT IF I INSTALL HELIX I HAVE TO REBUILD EVERYTHING FROM GROUND. PLEASE ANSWER. AWESOME TUTORIAL AND HELPFULL!! THANK YOU!

[@thisischrisbliss]

After failing with WP (lacks customization), your tutorial has by far advanced my website more rapidly. Thank you, lots! Quick question: How come the image and text sliders have different backgrounds (e.i. behind your images). My default's blue (like your text slider), but you did nothing in terms of changing the color for the image slider and it's different (in my case, it's same as our text slider). Thanks!
