'''Joomla''' is a [[free software|free]] and [[open source]] [[content management system]] (CMS) for publishing content on the [[World Wide Web]] and [[intranet]]s and a [[model–view–controller]] (MVC) [[Web application framework]] that can also be used independently.
Joomla is written in [[PHP]], uses [[object-oriented programming]] (OOP) techniques (since version 1.5<ref>[http://docs.joomla.org/Developing_a_Model-View-Controller_Component/1.5/Introduction Introduction for developing a Model-View-Controller Joomla 1.5 Component]</ref>) and [[software design pattern]]s,<ref>[http://people.joomla.org/groups/viewdiscussion/750-the-case-for-better-architecture.html?groupid=708 The Case for Better Architecture]</ref><ref>[http://docs.joomla.org/index.php?title=JObservable/1.5&oldid=63625 JObservable/1.5 - Joomla!

Community Portal]</ref> and includes features such as page [[cache (computing)|caching]], [[RSS (file format)|RSS feeds]], printable versions of pages, news flashes, [[blogs]], [[opinion poll|polls]], search, and support for [[internationalization and localization|language internationalization]].
{{As of|2012|03}}, Joomla has been downloaded over 30 million times.<ref>[http://magazine.joomla.org/issues/Issue-Apr-2012/item/736-Leadership-Highlights-from-March-2012 Leadership Highlights from March 2012]</ref> Over 10,000 free and commercial [[extension (computing)|extension]]s are available from the official Joomla! Extension Directory, and more are available from other sources.<ref>{{cite web |title=Home – Joomla!

== History ==
Joomla was the result of a [[Fork (software development)|fork]] of [[Mambo (software)|Mambo]] on August 17, 2005. At that time, the Mambo name was trademarked by Miro International Pvt. Ltd., who formed a [[non-profit]] [[Foundation (charity)|foundation]] with the stated purpose of funding the project and protecting it from lawsuits.<ref>{{cite web |date=2006-01-09 |title=Mambo Foundation Web site, Goals and objectives |url=http://www.mambo-foundation.org |accessdate=2007-03-14 }}</ref> The Joomla development team claimed that many of the provisions of the foundation structure went against previous agreements made by the elected Mambo Steering Committee, lacked the necessary consultation with key stakeholders and included provisions that violated core [[open source software|open source]] values.<ref>{{cite web |date=2007-05-07 |title=Joomla Forum Discussion by Development Team members and Community |url=http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,73.0.html |accessdate=2007-05-07}}</ref>
The Joomla development team created a website called OpenSourceMatters.org to distribute information to users, developers, web designers and the community in general. Project leader Andrew Eddie wrote a letter<ref>{{cite web |date=2005-08-17 |last=Eddie |first=Andrew |title=Mambo Open Source Development Team — Letter to the community |url=http://forum.mamboserver.com/showthread.php?t=57645 |accessdate=2009-08-31 }}</ref> that appeared on the announcements section of the public forum at mamboserver.com. A little more than one thousand people had joined OpenSourceMatters.org within a day, most posting words of encouragement and support, and the website received the [[Slashdot effect]] as a result. Miro CEO Peter Lamont gave a public response to the development team in an article titled "The Mambo Open Source Controversy — 20 Questions With Miro".<ref>{{cite web |date=2005-08-21 |last=Shreves |first=Ric |title=The Mambo Open Source Controversy — 20 Questions With Miro |url=http://ricshreves.net/content/view/116/47/ %7CORIGINAL accessdate=2007-03-14 |archiveurl=http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=3037 |archivedate=2005-09-01 |accessdate=2010-04-27}}</ref> This event created controversy within the [[free software community]] about the definition of "open source". Forums at many other open source projects were active with postings for and against the actions of both sides.
In the two weeks following Eddie's announcement, teams were re-organized, and the community continued to grow. [[Eben Moglen]] and the [[Software Freedom Law Center]] (SFLC) assisted the Joomla core team beginning in August 2005, as indicated by Moglen's blog entry from that date and a related OSM announcement.<ref name="MoglenAug05">{{cite web|url = http://emoglen.law.columbia.edu/blog/2005/08/index.html|title = Why I like Open Source Matters (was Why I Like Mambo) |accessdate = 2008-10-08|last = Moglen|first = Eben|authorlink = |year = 2005|month = August}}</ref><ref name="OSM2005">{{cite web|url = http://www.opensourcematters.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=41&Itemid=1|title = Award-winning Development Team Welcomes New Arrival — Joomla! |accessdate = 2008-10-08|last = Russell |first = Peter |authorlink = |year = 2005}}</ref> The SFLC continue to provide legal guidance to the Joomla project.<ref name="OSMa">{{cite web|url = http://www.joomla.org/about-joomla/the-project/partners.html |title=Partners |accessdate=2008-10-08 |publisher=Open Source Matters}}</ref>
On August 18, Andrew Eddie called for community input on suggested names for the project. The core team indicated that it would make the final decision for the project name based on community input. The core team eventually chose a name that was not on the list of suggested names provided by the community.
On September 22, the new name, "Joomla!," was announced. It is the [[anglicised]] spelling of the [[Swahili language|Swahili]] word {{lang|sw|''jumla''}} meaning "all together" or "as a whole."<ref>[http://opensourcematters.org/joomla.html "Joomla!"]. Open Source Matters.</ref>
On September 26, the development team called for logo submissions from the community and invited the community to vote on the logo; the team announced the community's decision on September 29. On October 2, brand guidelines, a brand manual, and a set of logo resources were published for the community's use.<ref name="Joomlab">{{cite web|url = http://www.joomla.org/about-joomla/the-project/logo-usage-and-brand-guide.html |title = Logo Usage and Brand Guide |accessdate=2008-10-08 |publisher=Open Source Matters}}</ref>
Joomla won the [[Packt]] Publishing Open Source Content Management System Award in 2006, 2007, and 2011.<ref name=packtpub-award>{{cite web |date=2006-11-14 |title=2006 Open Source Content Management System Award Winner Announced |publisher=Packt Publishing |url=http://www.packtpub.com/article/open-source-content-management-system-award-winner-announced |accessdate=2007-03-08 }}</ref><ref name=packtpub-award2>{{cite web |date=2007-10-31 |title=Joomla!

On October 27, 2008, PACKT Publishing announced that Johan Janssens was the "Most Valued Person" (MVP), for his work as one of the lead developers of the 1.5 Joomla Framework and Architecture. In 2009 Louis Landry received the "Most Valued Person" award for his role as Joomla architect and development coordinators.

== Deployment ==
Like many other popular web applications, Joomla can be run on a [[LAMP (software bundle)|LAMP stack]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.joomla.org/technical-requirements.html|title=Technical Requirements|accessdate=8 August 2012}}</ref>
Many web hosts have [[Web hosting control panel|control panels]] that allow for automatic installation of Joomla. On Windows, Joomla can be installed using the [[Microsoft Web Platform Installer]], which automatically detects and installs any missing dependencies, such as [[PHP]] or [[MySQL]].<ref>{{cite web |title=The Easy Way To Install PHP on Windows |publisher=[[SitePoint]] |url=http://articles.sitepoint.com/article/php-windows-web-platform-installer |accessdate=2009-11-20 }}</ref>
Joomla enjoys strong support on the web from hosts that specialize in or support it. Many web sites provide information on installing and maintaining Joomla sites.

A Joomla template is a multifaceted Joomla [[Software extension|extension]] which is responsible for the [[layout (computing)|layout]], [[design]] and structure of a Joomla powered [[website]]. While the [[Content management system|CMS]] itself manages the [[Web content|content]], a [[Web template|template]] manages the look and feel of the content elements and the overall design of a Joomla driven [[website]]. The content and [[design]] of a Joomla template is separate and can be edited, changed and deleted separately.
The [[Web template|template]] is where the design of the main [[layout (computing)|layout]] for a Joomla site is set. This includes where users place different elements (components, modules, and plug-ins), which are responsible for the different types of content. If the template is designed to allow user customization, the user can change the content placement on the site i.e.: putting the main menu on the right or left side of the screen.
=== Template Components ===
==== Layout ====
The [[Web template|template]] is the place where the design of the main [[layout (computing)|layout]] is set for a Joomla site. This includes where users place different elements (components, modules, and plug-ins), which are responsible for different types of content.
==== Color Scheme ====
Using [[CSS]] within the [[Web template|template]] design, users can change the colors of the backgrounds, text, links or just about anything that they could using [[(X)HTML]] [[code]].
==== Images and Effects ====
Users can also control the way images are displayed on the page and even create flash-like effects such as drop-down menus.
==== Fonts ====
The same applies to fonts. The designs for these are all set within the template's [[CSS]] file(s) to create a uniform look across the entire site, which makes it easy to change the whole look just by altering one or two files rather than every single page.
== Joomla extensions ==
Joomla [[Software extension|extension]]s help extend the Joomla websites' ability. There are five types of extensions for Joomla!: [[Component-based software engineering|Components]], [[Module]]s, [[Plug-in (computing)|Plugins]], [[Web template|Template]]s, and [[Language]]s. Each of these extensions handles a specific [[function (engineering)|function]].
* '''[[Software component|Component]]s:''' The largest and most complex extensions of them all; they can be seen as mini-applications. Most components have two parts: a site part and an [[System administrator|administrator]] part. Every time a Joomla page loads, one component is called to render the main page body. Components are the major portion of a page because a component is driven by a menu item and every menu item runs a [[Software component|component]].
* '''[[Plug-in (computing)|Plugins]]:''' These are more advanced extensions and are, in essence, event handlers. In the execution of any part of Joomla, a module or a component, an event can be triggered. When an event is triggered, plugins that are registered with the [[application software|application]] to handle that event execute. For example, a [[Plug-in (computing)|plugin]] could be used to block user-submitted articles and filter out bad words.
* '''[[Web template|Template]]s:''' Describe the main design of the Joomla website and are the [[Software extension|extension]]s that allow users to change the look of the site. Users will see modules and components on a template. They are customizable and flexible. Templates determine the “style” of a website.
* '''[[Module]]s:''' Rendering pages flexibly in Joomla requires a module [[Software extension|extension]], which is then linked to Joomla components to display new content or new [[image]]s. Joomla modules look like boxes – like the “search” or “login” module. However, they don’t require [[html]] to Joomla to work.
* '''[[Language]]s:''' Very simple [[Software extension|extension]]s that can either be used as a core part or as an [[Software extension|extension]]. [[Language]] and [[font]] information can also be used for [[PDF]] or [[Adobe Photoshop#File format|PSD]] to Joomla conversions.
