Hello pro,

How can we, create any custom system like we want in joomla site? The system like, directory system and so on.

Hi kuszzarin

Yes, within reason. But there are caveats:

1) Joomla is right for some web projects but not all. There might be better options for lots of functionality.

2) The advantage of using Joomla is that lots of functionality is available easily. A directory is a perfect example of that. However, many projects will still need custom coding.

can u show me, what kind of system can we develop in joomla?

Hi kuszzarin

Sorry, can you be any more specific? The word "system" is too general for us to really give any accurate advice.

I mean, kind system like member directories. That's system can edit info member, show list of members.

Hi kuszzarin

OK, for that you have two choices.

1) Use a community extension such as Community Builder or Jomsocial. This would be good for more informal memberships and networking.

2) Use a directory extension such as SobiPro for more business-like listings: www.ostraining.com/blog/joomla/sobipro-t...ssing-documentation/

Can we use php extension to build any custom php system in joomla?

Hi Kusz

Yes, you certainly can. We're filming a PHP class and will have it online for you shortly.

could you recommend which php extension most powerful to build custom system?

Hi Kusz

I'm sorry seem to ask this of you a lot but ... can you be more specific?

Can you describe the system you want to build?

I mean, can u recommend some php extension?

As for a custom directory extension, the project I do for my job is creating everything customized.

You can go into the code of the directory extension and build an actual system rather than just show a directory.

This extension is called Fabrik.

It can also be very flexible with working with users since you can connect to any database table and work with it from there. :-)

One of my tables I connect to a specified user table group and make it so only those users can edit that row of data in the directory.

Let me know if you have any questions.

But with the extensions Steve recommended, it would probably work as well and they are a lot more popular to use.

Hi vegaschuck,

Yes, we're hoping that it will be live in the next two months :) We're glad you've enjoyed the tutorials! We've got a lot more coming which we're excited for you and the rest of the students to see! :)

Kind regards,
