Create a Joomla Website! - Easy! - 2012 

Probably the best video tutorial I have seen. Clear and concise. He wastes no steps. Better than the others I have viewed. Answered a lot of questions. Great work!

I'm doing Joomla training for $25 (hopefully one month); but guys like this are a treasure! There are so many details you (iLoveWebDev) added. It was so worth watchng!!!

I am brand new to Joomla. I thought I could learn by installing and using it, boy was I wrong. Then I thought I could just read the online documentation and browse the forums, nope, that's not gettin' it done, either. :( Then I thought, why not browse RU-vid for some Joomla tutorials? Which is why I am here now. I found your tutorial and thought, wow, this is really what I needed. Easy to follow, step by step for the beginner, like me. Thanks a lot.

Hey Kamran, to remove the publishing information in an article just go to Content > Article Manager > Options (at the top right). From there you can choose to 'show' or 'hide' anything you want.

This is the best Joomla Tutorial for me in youtube so far! This video should have a lot more likes & views too. I have downloaded the whole video to my PC in 720p Quality. Going to download all your uploads because they are really helpful. Keep it up bro!

Hey mainegc, sorry for the delayed response. To create a sub menu: Create a new menu item and set the "Parent Item" to the menu item that you want the sub menu to show up under. Next go to Module Manager and click your menu module (for wsnone it is called WS Responsivemenu), under "Basic Options" (right side) select Yes for "Show Sub-Menu Items". Hope that makes sense!

This is the best tutorial ever. All tutorials on all subjects should be based on this model. Relaxed and precise the explanations are exemplary. I wish there was some way to bring it to the notice of all web surfers. Building a website with Joomla is very straightforward after this tutorial. Thanks for the trouble you took.

Actually am new to joomla .After watching this video feel like am professional developer really love it

Hey MsErazmus, just go to Site (top left of the administrator control panel) > Global Configuration > and where it says "Site Offline" choose YES. Click Save, then go to your homepage and you will be asked to log in to view your changes. You can also set a custom message in Site > Global Configuration if you want it to say "Coming Soon".

Perhaps the best Tutorial Video at any Topic, I have ever seen on You Tube!

Hey Kasun, thanks for using the coupon code... It sometimes takes up to a day for your domain and hosting to become fully functional- It looks like you have already pointed the nameservers to your new hostgator account so just give it another half-day and if still doesn't work send me another message and i'll help you out!

hey buddy congratulation.....this the best tutorial ever for JOOMLA i´ve found on the RU-vid!!!!!!!! continue with that good classes.....Thankxxxx a lot man!

Hi Michael Thank you so much for your fantastic and very educational video. You have to surf the net a long time to get this kind of video toturial. In deep and with clear voice you give me what I need. Serious education how to get the hang of working with a template in Joomla. I have bought another template, but I can easily convert the instructions from the template you use to the one I use. BINGO! Thanks again Steen DK

Hey Daphne, try going to the Article Manager, clicking Options on the top right then turning off publishing info. After you do that, go to a specific article, click Article Options (on the right) then turn off the publishing info. Let me know if that works!

it takes 1-24 hours for your domain to become fully functional. Usually closer to 1 hour, but sometimes it's longer for some people.

Great video - you really have a knack for explaining things clearly and in terms the layman can follow. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

this was my first Joomla tutorial. I enjoyed very much. thank you. I am sure I will have some questions in a few days :)

Thank you so much! If you have time, if you'll make a little table of contents for this video with the time each section begins - since it's so long and someone might want to skip to a certain step :)

The best Joomla tutorial I've seen ... thanks for posting!

One of the best tutorials that I have seen. Any chance of a beginners guide to inserting the Reveal Lightbox feature into the template.

Thank You so much Michael. This is such a clear and concise tutorial. You are a legend. Cheers Mate!

This is what I call a tutorial. Awesome job MAN. :)

i`m working with joomla website creating...already 5 years... My opinion - there is the best Free CMS for commercial and portal-sites... Many Templates... So many components|modules|plugins etc... Easy installing (include QuickStart) and just child-move Template Editing! Take it and make a best web-site as u can! Do it baby! Shake the Joomla!! Yahoooooo XD

Really helpful video for creating a functional website , thank u for this wonderful tutorial sir ..now i can be able to create a professional website using joomla... thank you very much sir....

Joomla & Gator great combination! I am building websites for free and I always recommend Joomla.

Hey Ario, if you go to extensions.joomla.org, there is an extension called "Appointment Book Manager" that does just what you want.

Yes, you can add as many images you want in the Qlue Accordion. In regards to your question about Fox Contact: You might want to go on the support forum (fox[dot]ra[dot]it/forum) and ask your question there. I'm not an expert with Fox Contact.

Great video for starters like me. Perhaps do a video on managing multiple Joomla sites within the same hosting account.

Yes. This will work on windows or mac

Excellent video presentation, thanx :)) it helped me, for sure! And I find your talking very calm and affable, you could teach people lol if you don't already...

Meanwhile, I wonder if you have somewhere to store all the FAQs instead of asking the same question over and over. Nor you need to give an answer to everyone. We both save some time on it. Thanks so much!

Some clients of mine pay for their own hosting and sometimes i'll work out a deal where i'll host them for free. It really depends on what the client wants (and sometimes they already have hosting).

Hey nitesh, try going to your Administration Control Panel > Site > Global Configuration > SERVER. Under "Mail Settings", change "Mailer" to 'Sendmail'. If that doesn't work, change "Mailer" to 'SMTP'. Let me know if that fixes the problem.

Hi great presentation. I was wondering if you could do a presentation; where you changed/ up date an existing Joomla site?

Yes, you can do it from anywhere in the world.

Thanks so very much for creating this, its the best Joomla tutorial I've seen. It helped me very much. Is there any way to see the changes that you are making to your site on a testing server rather than on the actual live homepage? I have a "coming soon" page up and I don't want anyone seeing my construction until its done. Thanks!

No, net speed doesn't matter. You have to verify your youtube account by linking it to your mobile phone... Google: "Verify RU-vid Account".

Thank you for taking the time for this tutorial. Very helpful. Question about photo galleries. I am creating a family photo gallery with these needs -- I will have different photo events (Christmas, Newborn, etc) and would appreciate your help in locating the correct gallery extension to post this type of gallery. I would like to: 1. Have a main folder, Christmas for example 2. Choose the picture that appears on that folder 3. When I click on that picture, it reveals ONLY Christmas photos Thx!

This is a great ,great one. Thanks a lot for the FREE tutorial.

The best Joomla tutorial...thanx a lot!!!!

thanks for the great tutorial. Joomla has been a headache for me. But you made it so easy. :) İ'm so greatful if can do a tutorial on "How to convert static html to joomla template." İ have been searching. no luck yet. thanks again

Thanks for this video, well broken down. Is it possible to change background images of the themes, e.g the space images to custom images?

und Ich liebe wie du sprichst... I really love it!

Will these joomla 2.5 extensions you used here (and any other 2.5 extensions) work in joomla 3.1.1 as well? I really liked the ones you used. I am about to convert my 1.5 website to 3.1.1, and I must say, your tutorial is a very big help.

Can you please tell me that is it possible to use any Image holder in "qlue accordion" sections? for example if you want to display 2,3 or more images with some text as a answer of any of your FAQ questions.

Great tutorial! thanks for not adding some crappy music at the back... cheers!

thank you for taking your time to share this with us!

Hei, very usefull video, thx 4 share, but i have a question for you. Can I use this tutorial to create an online shop using an eCommerce template ? Thanks in advance!

Because of you I have lost a lot of sleep ;) Great tutorial! I have never made a website until this. I just bought ws-minded and I am having one hell of a time making sub menus drop on my main menu. I would like to know for ws-none as well. Also send me a paypal link I need to buy you lunch!

Thanks for our video. I can't seem to position my logo right though. I am using Youfact template, and there is no positioning option for "logo". Are there add-ons I need to download? Or is there a particular position I should look for?

This will be my first venture into Joomla -- I've been using Wix for way too long. Thanks again!

Thanks for all the help! I was having one problem though. The ShareThis for Joomla extension seems to have been taken down. Are there any viable alternatives?

Hi! Thanks for the great lesson. Need some help from you. We would like to use the same template for our company website. We already have a website but we want to make a new one with new look with joomla 2.5,we were using joomla 1.5. We were using our own hosting. Now how should we proceed, we dont need the present website when we will have the new one but we will keep the same domain name. Should we just upgrade joomla 1.5 to joomla 2.5 and install the new template there? help plz.

the best tutorial !! congratulations

Thanks for this great tutorial. It was really helpful. Keep it up!

You mean cpanel? Just go to your-domain slash cpanel if you already have a site. If you don't have a site yet, just follow the directions in this video on how to get a domain and hosting.

Another greatly done tutorial. Thanks a lot. Success!

hey! thanks for the tut! :) Having an issue with removing the publishing info and buttons on the about section. I'm on a pc (the menus are slightly different), using the same template as you. I've hidden everything in the article options, what am I missing!!?! thanks for your help!

Your great tutorial video really helped me a lot... thank you very much!

If you just got hosting then you may have to wait a few hours for your website to become fully functional.

Very usefull explanation. I really loved it.

The Best Tutorial Thank You Soo Much!

I d like to know what you suggest. If i go to hostgator and sign up with the baby plan i can host as many websites as i need...but my question is....what if one day, someone i created a website for wants to leave hostgator and just wants to take their domain name? will that mess anything up on my account with host gator? will they jus simply be able to take their domain name with no problems? It jus sounds a lil confusing if i have many websites under my own acount. how would i manage that?

I have 2 questions to ask: 1. Please adv why on this video at 34:00, You wnat to delete a module that just created a little earlier? 2. I saw you have several videos on Joomla,Can you specifiy the sequence or suggestions for user to view which one first? Or do you have special points on different videos? Thank, You can do better with more explaination aside the courses. Good tutorial anyway.

Thank you for this tutorial. Great work.

Hello i could you please tell which is the best ,most stable and with the most plugins version of the zoomla. Thank you

I was wondering how is it that you put webcam to webcam up onto a site. Is there a theme you can buy? Or can you write it yourself?

You both are doing a great job :)

HEY EVERYONE! Quickinstall has finally upgraded to Joomla 3.0, so the Joomla backend will look a little different than in this video... You will still be able to follow this tutorial!

there is a newer version of joomla. the version 3.1. can i still use it or do i need to go advance or still use the version 2.5?

Good. Thanks for DETAILED help.

What are you having problems with?

Hey guy, great couple of tutorials, I am spreading the word about yours and conutant's vids. So fantastic. But you skipped a step that he got! On his WP vid, he shows how to change the url to show wwwdotsomethingdotcom instead of just somethingdotcom. On yours, there is no wwwdot for the whole duration. I can't find this option, but I know it's probably something simple. How is it done in Joomla? sorry about the "dot", youtube's stupid policy.

Thanks a lot for sharing this . it is awesome tutorial.
