I am learning Joomla,but I am confused about some function.if you want to show “Title” in wordpress, you have to write “the_title();”,or if you want to show “Content” you have to write “the_content” or you want to show “image” you have to write “the_post_thumbnail” .but if you want to show same thing in Joomla,what function can I use here?.Please help me, I have no knowledge about PHP.
With Joomla you are not supposed to write PHP to generate content. Joomla supplies "articles", "categories" and a lot of other types of objects for content.
You create an article and just write your content in it. Titles are created automatically from the name of your article.
Joomla also has separated layout from content, much like Wordpress. On Joomla the equivalent of "widgets" are modules, of which there are many already builtin and thousands more to extend with.
Considering that Wordpress have the same basic functionality, perhaps you are trying to "program" a Joomla template? If so, Joomla Docs have much information for you, perhaps this page can be a starting point to the Joomla template API.
I suggest you google for "joomla introduction" and watch some of the video intros there.
There is also the special Joomla Stackexchange where you can ask more Joomla related questions and get better answers.
I have an X-cart store with a Joomla front-end. I have installed the x-cart module cloudsearch into my x-cart store. It creates a little search box in the upper right corner to search my x-cart store's products and pages. I would like for this box to also appear in my joomla sites header (which is the "front-end" for the store). Does anyone know if this is even possible?
Thanks for any help
Sure, create a new module of type "Custom HTML" and paste your cart form there (if it's just ajax) or load it by url creating a module of type "Wrapper"
Ok, so this required finding the libraries for the module (mainly handlebars.js and hoverintent.js) and making sure those were being loaded via the joomla header. Also had to add CSS from the modules template directory as well. Then I used "view source" to get the generated javascript source to initiate cloudsearch, as well as get the dynamically generated html for the search box I was using.
Thanks to everyone who tried to help. In the end it ended up being just a matter of getting the javascript, css, and html right. All the database connectivity and search features are controlled by an external js file loaded from the cloudsearch server.
I'm using PyroStreams on my PyroCMS-based site, which is working great, but the front-end search functionality it offers is a bit too limiting for my needs.
My stream consists of over 20 fields. On each page of the site I want a simple keyword search box which will search on 3 of the fields in my stream. Currently I'm using the PyroStreams search form for this and it's working great.
But I also want an advanced search page which will build a form based on all 20 fields, pulling in data from the stream to build it, e.g. in my steam I have a field-type of Country and on my advanced search form I want to include a dropdown list containing all the countries found within that field-type.
What I'm asking is what is the best approach to doing this?
Should I build my own module, separate from the PyroStreams module to perform this, or is that a bit of a sledgehammer to crack a nut?
I'm a bit of a novice in this field so all help & advice is greatly appreciated.

Just Grab sample module from here...https://github.com/pyrocms/sample and understand the folder and file structure.. Its quite easy to develop custom module in pyrocms.You just have to provide basic module detail in the detail.php to install the module. then create a new controller with the same name as module in controllers folder and same for the view and model. you can easily understand once you will go through the sample module..
url stucture will be like this
{{ url:site }}controller_name/method_name/paramate of method.
Hopefully this will help you..
This is a late answer, but PyroCMS now has a search module.
You can see the documentation to learn how to use it from a developers point of view here:
PyroCMS 2.2 Search Documentation
I want to create my own form that are submitted and values of that form will be stored in joomla database. How can i used the Joomla connection code to interacte with the joomla database.
If you just want to get your work done, there are some components already avaiable in Joomla Extension's website to your form's needs. CkForms is a good one, you can create simple forms with it that are automatically saved in the database (supports upload of files too).
If you want to learn how to write extensions in Joomla, you should read Joomla Official Documentation website.
Extensions in Joomla are divided in "Components", "Modules" and "Plugins". More informations about these differences can be found here and here.
What you're trying to achieve sounds a "component" to me. Downloading the CkForms and reading it's source code should get you started to Joomla's way of writing components.
EDIT: Joomla has a huge API with a lot of features. It has a database module of it's own, with insert methods and such. Reading Joomla's API website before implementing your component it's a good idea to avoid "reinventing the wheel" and it's a good practice since those methods are extensively tested by all Joomla users.
The JForm class helps you build forms.
Documentation can be found here:
joomla CMS: http://docs.joomla.org/API16:JForm
joomla API: http://api.joomla.org/11.4/Joomla-Platform/Form/JForm.html
This class provides you with ready to use form elements and form loading and/or processing methods
This class includes validation methods, date picker control, color picker, etc.
Of course, as another mentioned above, if you are building a module, component, or application, you will need to learn how to to develop a module, component or application. Of these three, the module is the easiest to implement.
The application gives you much freedom b/c you are not constrained to the CMS paradigm, front and back end complexities. However, there is little documentation about how to develop applications with Joomla framework b/c joomla as a framework is relatively new
This tutorial gets you started understanding how to use JForm to create a form in Joomla: http://www.ostraining.com/blog/how-tos/development/getting-started-with-jform/
Or you could just create add a html module to any position and then write the form in html i.e.
<form method="post" action="mycreatedpage.php"> <input type="text"/> <input type="submit">
Now just create a page that handles the code by emailing or inserting into db. I havent tried it but i think it should work.
Looks like everyone already told you almost everything I know except for the component creator. Very easy to use, and it follows Joomla standards. Will get you up and running within minutes.
I have got good working experience with Joomla RSForm Pro. It has got options for
validation
user email/admin emails on submit
file uploads
and many more
Good tutorials too. Get started with http://www.rsjoomla.com/support/documentation/view-knowledgebase/21-rsform-pro.html
Good luck!
Create View.
Create Model.
Create Table.
Create Controller ( if Needed ).
Create Form xml file.

Take a look at the Chronoforms extension - does more than you want.
You have two options:
Use an already built custom form extension
Create your own custom form extension (or outsource it)
Now if you only want to modify the user registration form, then you can do some PHP customization to accomplish your goal.
Making forms in Joomla can be done in a couple of ways.
If you just wanted a contact us, you can just create a page with a menu item for the User contact form. This gives you a page with a Members address and contact form. So all you would need to do was add the user as the company of the websites home address and email. But the form is very basic, name, title, textarea for message.
Next up from that you could just make a Custom HTML module add add a form to it in plain HTML like +Sean said above this, you would need to code in PHP your own form process script. You would not get error in form data checking unless you also wrote it.
Next you might rather look on the Joomla Extension Directory JED for one of the good extensions for 3 and 2.5 Joomla RSForms!Pro is good, and can do all we have needed. This lets you add fields one by one and move your form around. Then can auto generate or custom the html of the form.
You can easily create your own forms with Fabrik
Chronoforms are now a days a very popular solution for custom forms in joomla. Chornoforms support twitter bootstrap also. In simple 5 steps you can create a contact form with unlimited fields and also embed various function like DB save, Email, Thanks Message, Redirection on any page. There is events and events will have particular events.
Also possibility of extension of Normal joomla registeration. It will not extend the core registration but at the time of registration you can take various information from users.
I would use Chrono Forms, they work really well and are easy to use.
