They reveal that the Joomla! team have been listening to their community, and importantly, the administrators of Joomla! sites.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heartinternet.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/joomla-code.jpg\" alt=\"Computer code on a screen\" width=\"650\" height=\"150\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16833\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>1. Custom fields<\/h3>\n<p>This is the big news in the recent Joomla 3.7 release. Often, we\u2019d like to add specific types of data to specific types of content. For example, I run a site for a school where the staff members upload their department, qualifications, class name and date joined. I want that data stored properly in individual fields, which are then shown in a specific style on the website.<\/p>\n<p>The ability to do this easily and natively has been in Drupal for years and was for me its biggest selling point. Until now, if you wanted to customise content in Joomla you would have to use a third party extension. This adds complexity for the site administrator, and maybe many unnecessary features and code for the Joomla installation.<\/p>\n<p>The new Custom Fields are a breeze. You can create new generic fields of many types (text,select, image, date, etc), group them together, and then apply them to specific article categories or contacts. When the administrator is editing an article, the groups show up in a very clear and user-friendly way in the tabs.<\/p>\n<p>Presentation has been thought about too. Custom fields can be assigned CSS classes, and their display order can be changed easily without any template overrides. If that\u2019s not enough, you can override the field\u2019s individual template, or access the field data in the jcfields object to do whatever you want (see <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.joomla.org\/J3.x:Adding_custom_fields\/Overrides\/en\" target=\"_blank\">docs.joomla.org\/J3.x:Adding_custom_fields\/Overrides\/en<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Overall it\u2019s a massive boost for Joomla! that builds great flexibility into how you can structure your content.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Add an article directly into the menu<\/h3>\n<p>The first of several usability improvements in Joomla 3.7 is the ability to create an article and a menu item for it at the same time. For some people, the way articles and menus are structured seems a little complicated, and this change addresses the common situation when an article is intended as a page, and should go directly into the site.<\/p>\n<p>To do this, go to Menus and Add New Menu Item, which should be of the form Single Article.<\/p>\n<p>From here you can Create the Article, enter the content, save it, then save the Menu Item. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joomla.org\/3\/images\/37\/gifs\/workflow.gif\" target=\"_blank\">gif of the process can be seen here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heartinternet.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/joomla-coffecode.jpg\" alt=\"A cup of coffee next to a computer screen\" width=\"650\" height=\"150\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16835\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>3. What\u2019s in a menu?<\/h3>\n<p>Menu items are the way Joomla builds up the display of multiple items of content. But sometimes you might want to have these blocks on your website, but not have them show up in a menu.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, users sometimes resorted to creating a menu in the backend that is not shown publicly, just to quickly add some URLs. The new Joomla! has the simple answer to this odd situation, to have the option to show or hide a Menu item.<\/p>\n<p>The best solutions are usually the simple ones, and that is a quick win, and a big improvement in the area some people think is Joomla!\u2019s biggest flaw.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Customise what shows in the backend and text editor<\/h3>\n<p>In Joomla 3.7 you can customise the admin interface completely with the Backend Menu Manager.<\/p>\n<p>This means you can change (and minimise!) what is shown on the admin menu to different levels of user. You can even rename menu items, for example you could change \u2018AcyMailing\u2019 to \u2018Emails\u2019, following Steve Krug\u2019s usability mantra, \u2018Don\u2019t Make Me Think!\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the text editor is now far more configurable. You can customise exactly what buttons and options appear to which levels of user.<\/p>\n<p>This is great on two levels &#8211; firstly, making life simpler for the user, removing unnecessary options, streamlining the interface; secondly, it means you can retain more control over presentation, for example you could stop users from changing the colour of their text &#8211; something your design team will be forever grateful for.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heartinternet.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/joomla-code2.jpg\" alt=\"Computer code on a screen\" width=\"650\" height=\"150\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16837\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>5. Frontend editing with Ark Extensions<\/h3>\n<p>The public are starting to get used to the new generation of front-end website builders where content is edited directly on the web page, and can be dragged and dropped to add or rearrange it.<\/p>\n<p>Joomla can keep up with the Joneses, thanks to a huge amount of work done by <a href=\"https:\/\/arkextensions.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ark Extensions<\/a>, who provide this functionality for Joomla, in free and paid for extensions that enable on-page editing, menu management and an improved media manager, to enhance the experience for site admins.<\/p>\n<p>It may not be appropriate for every kind of site you build, but it\u2019s great to be able to offer your clients the choice.<\/p>\n<h3>5-and-a-half. Joomla 4 is coming, and soon\u2026<\/h3>\n<p>At JoomlaDay, George Wilson, the Release Lead developer, ran through several major improvements for Joomla! 4, which is pencilled in for release early 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The first great thing to note is that it\u2019s not a Drupal-style rewrite. You will be able to upgrade seamlessly from within Joomla!, and plugins and extensions will require minimal updating to retain compatibility.<\/p>\n<p>The main cheer of the day went up when George announced that Joomla!\u2019s media manager is being overhauled, to improve usability and include image manipulation, responsive images, and also ajax to minimise page reloads. For my clients, ease of use when handling images is maybe their number one issue, so this is really welcome.<\/p>\n<p>In further news, the installation process has been boiled down to a \u20181-2-3\u2019 style process with minimal complication, comparing favourably with WordPress\u2019s \u2018famous 5 minute install\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Accessibility is a growing issue, and the backend will be AA compliant.<\/p>\n<p>CSS Grid, Bootstrap 4, support for Web Services, Web Components and Shadow DOM is coming too.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, I\u2019m impressed with the way Joomla! has moved with the times, addressed many of its shortcomings, and is looking to the future.<\/p>\n<p>For a full feature list, go to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joomla.org\/3\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.joomla.org\/3<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joomla!
