Joomla Magazines

Helping members of the Joomla! community connect with each other and share their stories. We would love to publish yours!
  • You’ve probably seen it on the socials or read about it in earlier issues of the Joomla Community Magazine: next month, the Joomla World Conference will take place in Potsdam, Germany.  A lot of JCM team members will attend this event and we’re all looking forward to it. One of the best reasons to be there is that it’s not just a sit-down-and-listen event. We get to meet each other in real life, learn a lot, have fun and do stuff together (for example: there will be a maintenance sprint during JWC, you can read more about that in this issue). We’d love to see you there!

    Also in this issue: your monthly dose of tutorials and how-to’s, the latest updates on the Accessibility Project that aims to enhance Joomla’s state of the art accessibility even more, interviews with our re-elected Vice President and Outreach Department Coordinator, awards to vote for, community news and so much more. Don’t read this editor’s intro, start reading the articles by our fabulous authors!

  • Joomla World Conference starts on Friday. We’re starting one day earlier: on Thursday, 15 October, the Joomla Maintenance Team will meet at the conference venue in Potsdam for another hands-on sprint towards Joomla 7.0.

  • Don't use a canonical tag to tell Google which of your mistakes it should ignore. Fix the mistake.

  • Hans van der Meer has been active in our community for many years. He coordinated a user group, JUG Arnhem-Nijmegen, was a member of the JoomlaDagen team, and co-organized the Joostock Unconference (all in the Netherlands), and he was a longstanding member of several international Joomla teams. Now that he is leaving us, we feel it is only fitting to express our gratitude to this special, wonderful, kind and dedicated Joomler.

  • Emmanuel Lemor has just been re-elected Vice President of Open Source Matters. I had that job myself back in 2023, so when the chance came up to sit him down and ask what it is actually like from the inside, I took it rather too quickly.
