Notes:

Shared-server accounts
The database name, username nomenclature used in the example below are for shared-server accounts that requires a prefix, usually the assigned "siteusername", i.e., "siteusername_dbname" (for the database name), and "siteusername_dbusername" (for the username of th person with access to the database). Note that an underscore, not a hyphen is used.

Unique FTP Username and Password

=> This is needed for Linux and Unix servers; not needed for Windows servers. For security reasons, this unique FTP username and password must be different from the default FTP Username and Password that was automatically assigned once the sitename and password are created.

Since the unique FTP username is not the default FTP Username, the actual (full) username -- for the unique FTP username -- would include the address of the domain name, e.g., This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it => where "ftpusername" is unique FTP username you have chosen for this site, i.e., joomla-university.org.

It is best if the above database name, username & password are setup prior to the installation. This is true also for the unique FTP username and password.

Newsflash

The one thing about a Web site, it always changes! Joomla! makes it easy to add Articles, content, images, videos, and more. Site administrators can edit and manage content 'in-context' by clicking the 'Edit' link. Webmasters can also edit content through a graphical Control Panel that gives you complete control over your site.

Excluding the Intro Text from the Full Text of an Article

A very powerful technique in Joomla 1.0.x was the capability to have a different introductory text and/or the image that you may not to be the same introduction of the full article. To demonstrate this feature, in Joomla 1.5.x, click on the title of this article.

How to perform this and the potentials and implications of this feature will be presented to registered (subscriber) members of the BS-CSG Joomla University.
