Profile Information

Please share a bit about your Joomla! Experience and yourself. The more information you provide the quicker we will be able to process your membership.
I've been using Joomla for various sites since 2008. For the first couple of years, I created sites for organizations I worked for, put together a couple of paid sites, and developed my own writing site. Then I decided to head out on my own and build a Web-design business in Western Massachusetts. It's working out very well.

Joomla is my only CMS, and most of my projects are built with it. Complementing Joomla, I'm constantly extending my general PHP skills. Beyond Joomla, I often use the CodeIgniter PHP framework.

Glad to be part of ATAAW. I'm looking forward to learning from this community, and I hope to add my own contributions to discussions.

It's all with the goal of helping Joomla grow!

Hi Amy -- thanks for commenting. I guess one of the things I'm trying to get at is that what we refer to as "CCK" should not have to be "included" in the framework.  Doing CRUD operations should be inherent in any…

*Waves at Amy" I was just thinking about you! I will be sending you the link to the PDF I am currently slaving over when it is finished. I suspect that because of its nature, it may be of more interest to Molajo that Joomla, though I am very…

Agree Eddie. Not sure I see collaboration improving in the Joomla community anytime soon, either. The ecosystem is just not setup in support of that. The Joomla project is talking about an integrated content environment of some sort that they hope…

Eddie: I've used Fabrik, and found it to be a powerful application that crosses the bridge between a form component and a CCK. This raises another angle on the CCK question. In Joomla, even a powerful form component has a difficult time getting…

I am writing a large document that basically goes through the possibilities of building a CCK into the core of Joomla. It is non technical (because I am non-technical) but maybe it might give some brave Joomla devs a roadmap to follow.

Fabrik does a really good job. From the point of view of Drupal, CCK is extensible. Once you create a CCK in drupal, other modules can: - use it, ie. drupal locations module. views module. - built on top of it. gmaps etc.,. - extend it, views…

HarryB, My point was that when the subject of CCKs arises, the immediate comparison everyone in Joomla makes is to  Drupal.  On one hand, this makes sense.  Both of them look at CRUD operations as something you add on in the form of a…

I thought Drupal 7 had basic CCK functionality built into the core. And that it is both additive and supports the default content.  Or am I missing some point here? Are you talking about the physical database table structure and how CCK is…

Happy belated birthday Amy!  I've been following your ideas and posts for some time, but I've just become active here on ATAAW (posted my first blog entry this morning). I hope to learn more, contribute to some discussions, and maybe…

Hey Joss, I agree with you about the very concept of "CCK" and the idea of the thing being "imposed on top."  That's why I believe Joomla and Drupal have more in common than it would appear from all the CCK debates. A…

Joss Sanglier commented on Matthew Schenker's blog post 'CCK Capabilities: In the Core, How to Discuss?'
Hi Matthew, I think part of the entire problem is the idea of a CCK at all. With Drupal (and the same could happen to Joomla) a CCK was imposed on top of the existing system. With Joomla, what we think of as CCKs do sit rather…

Joss, great post!  Looks like you and I are thinking about the same things, as we both posted on this subject at almost the same time.

CCK Capabilities: In the Core, How to Discuss?

For some time now, there has been heated discussions in the Joomla world about the need for "CCK" capabilities in the core installation.There are different opinions about what "CCK capabilities" means, but in my opinion it involves at least the following:Capability to create custom fields for Joomla content rather than having to only use built-in fieldsCapability to accept front-end content submissions through forms comprised of the custom fieldsCapability to search based on material submitted…See More

Amy, Thanks for posting this.  I watched the video and appreciate the contribution from Joomlerios.  Unfortunately, I don't think this is helpful to people trying to figure out Joomla templating.  Watching this, one kind of just…

Hi Joss, Glad there are a few people then who are following this! I'd still like to know if a CCK is being considered for Joomla core.  Of course, a lot of people are talking about this, in comparison to Drupal's "CCK"…

CCK Capabilities: In the Core, How to Discuss?

For some time now, there has been heated discussions in the Joomla world about the need for "CCK" capabilities in the core installation.

There are different opinions about what "CCK capabilities" means, but in my opinion it involves at least the following:
