I am trying to make it so that I can have a category blog that displays three articles, and one of those articles be a category list that will list some other recent new articles on my site. Is there any way of doing this in Core joomla or do I need a plugin?
Thanks,
Mike
You could use loadmodule to load a latest news or other module set to display the categories you want into one of the articles in your blog. Alternatively you could have an alternate layout that renders that module would need for an article.

I was a newbie in Joomla and using the latest version to create my website. I want to create news page (list of article). I'm using module (external plugin) to listing all the article. But I'm not understand the structure to create the pages.
I got a menu like this:
Home
Latest News (link to single article with category 'Latest News')
This is my category:
Home
Latest News
News (every new article will be under this category)
Events
Then I display all the article inside Latest News page except the page I leave as blank because I using module to display the list. The URL will be like this mywebsitename/latest-news.
The problem is when I click one of the article to show full details of the article. The URL will be like mywebsitename/latest-news/11-home/latest-news/news/articleName. So how I need to do to structure the URL even my breadcrumb to be like this
mywebsitename / Latest News / News / article name
Even the module also display inside the article page. I only set this module under latest news page only. Can anyone help me. Thanks.
If you just began, restart your project. If you want to build up a site, first check whether there are any core functions for your usage or not. If it can be done through them, do it like that, as this is better for updating your site. (Maybe your plugin will not be supported later on...)
Then restart by building up your site:
Category - Article - Menu
Firstly, create the categories you wish. For example, you want the category "News" where you put news articles and a category "Events" where you put articles about your events.
Secondly create some articles for your category. You can use the "read-more" to preview your articles in your blog.
Last, create the menu. You can use a category blog and it's options to show your articles the way you want.
Does anybody know if it's possible to create a Blog builder site with Joomla CMS?
There is a lot of extensions to create a personal blog with personal articles. But I wanted to try to make a site like blogger.com but in simple version. So that users can register and add their own blogs and create their articles inside the blogs.
Are there any extensions with this functionality?
I guess the simpliest multiuser blog will be if the site allows registering and creating articles. And then these articles will be moved to one blog page or sorted by categories. But I need to divide the users activity to separate categories (named "blogs").
Try Zoo or k2, both of these allow for blogging functionality.
I used this tutorial for adding some Joomla article.
It works and Joomla article are there, but how I can add some Joomla tags to that articles programmatically?
There is a helper (jhelpertags) that have a function for add contentTagmaps, but I don't know how I can use that.
I have a bunch of articles in a Joomla 3.1 site that all live under a single category.
I'm creating a specific editor group for each article, ie a small group of users will have edit permissions for 1 article.
I'd like to do something so that when an article that is within the prescribed category (not all articles) is edited, the user (editor) sees a short block of text at the top of the edit page.
Is that possible within Joomla or would I have to edit the PHP file that creates the form?
You could accomplish this using a tool like content templater. http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-enhancements/coding-a-scripts-integration/code-snippets/7152
