Joomla Resources

Let's learn how to install and configure Joomla Component Builder to start developing Joomla extensions immediately.

I want to share with Joomla developers a trick I discovered to add a button to trigger an ajax request in ANY plugin configuration form.

Only for demonstration purposes, I will use the trick with the Log Rotation system plugin, but it can be applied to any other plugin.

Switching web hosts is one of the most common reasons a Joomla site breaks - not because moving is hard, but because the new server doesn't quite match what Joomla needs, and nobody checked first.

Whether you're moving for speed, price, better support, or because you've outgrown shared hosting, run through this checklist before you commit. Confirm the new host fits, then move with a plan.

Backing up your Joomla site is the one habit that turns a disaster into a minor inconvenience. A hacked site, a failed update, a hosting account that vanishes overnight, a migration to a new server — every one of these is survivable if you have a recent, complete, downloadable backup. Without one, you are rebuilding from memory.

This guide covers what a real Joomla backup actually contains, the fastest way to make one, how to automate it, and how to restore or move your site to a new server — for current Joomla (4, 5 and 6).

1. Choose a domain name.
2. Order a web hosting account.
3. Bind the domain name and the hosting server.
4. Build and upload the web site.
