| Written by Steve Burge | | Wednesday, 04 February 2009 12:06 |   Just a quick post to let you know that the Atlanta Joomla group is expanding. There'll now be a second meeting each month: Thanks to Nick for help with getting this new meeting started and thanks also to Steven and Brent for their help in Alpharetta. If you're in Atlanta or North Georgia, feel free to sign up for the group via http://www.meetup.com/atlantajoomla/ and we'll see you at one of the upcoming meetings! Not in Atlanta?- Aussies: The Joomla Day in Melbourne is only a couple of days away now
- Pommies: Joomla Day UK is in 5 weeks
- Gamblers: Joomla Day Las Vegas is in April
- Crooked Politicians: CMS Expo is back in Chicago at the end of April
- Yankees: Joomla Day New England is coming in May
- Milwaukee: Can't think of any digs at Milwaukee ... can barely even spell it. Anyway, the user group there just held their first meeting very successfully with over 35 people
If I've missed an event, drop it in the comments ... |

Simply - yes. There are many sites and circumstances where Joomla 1.5 default SEF URLs are enough. They are great for most people - certainly are a big leap forward over 1.0. Adding an SEF URL component may simply be adding an extra, unneccessary layer of complexity. However, for some sites and circumstances, an SEF URL component is a must.

| Written by Steve Burge | | Tuesday, 05 May 2009 00:00 | | This is a guest post by Ulas Alkan from InstantPHP.com. He's looking for feedback on his new jobs component for Joomla 1.5. I mentioned a couple of years ago that Joomla really needed a quality jobs board. Maybe this is it ... Jobs is a recruitment component for Joomla. It offers web sites owners to run their job software website. Jobs is targeting 2 types of web site (Company web sites and Community based web sites).

1. Could you explain Jentla in layman's terms?Jentla makes it really easy to develop and manage 1,000?s of Joomla websites. Many businesses have multiple websites but they can?t gain any advantages with Joomla until they are linked together under a centralized site manager. That?s what Jentla does. Adding, approving and publishing web content works just like offline where it flows through several responsible staff.? It?s possible to place the same piece of content on multiple sites saving huge amounts of time. Managing the administration of the sites is really easy too and operations like site upgrades and extension upgrades can all be done instantly across a very large group of sites. The Joomla CMS has a short learning curve but when you add Jentla to it, it becomes easier and significantly more robust. Jenlta is also the most ambitious extension to Joomla we?re aware of, providing the Joomla development community the opportunity to compete at the enterprise level. |

Last week, I decided to spend some time answering two really common questions:
- "What happens if someone makes a mistake in an article? How can we roll back to a previous version?"
- "We have a legal requirement to track the articles that appear on our website - how do we do that?"
