Okay. This is the main functionality of my site. Here goes:
People register. They upload a list of whatever ebooks, movies, tv shows they have. Other people who want them will just have to 'search' for an item and they will be provided with a contact form to contact a person that has what they want. Very much like pianofiles.com but this is for a local community.
Added features could be
*forming social groups by interest
*creating events
etc..
Is all this possible using Typo3?
If yes, then how should I use Typo3 for it? (Just a basic idea)
If not, what should i use to create something like this?
Check out the TER, a quick search revealed http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/community
You could realize your project with any well known CMS or PHP framework.
TYPO3 CMS, as I see it, has a strong emphasis on the editor backend. If you don't need that at all and don't have any prior experience, I'm not sure if it's the right tool for you - unless you want to get into TYPO3 anyway!
PS: For TYPO3 web apps, there will be the upcoming Framework http://flow.typo3.org, wich is in beta

I have an umbraco based CMS site and I've been advised to use AMP for fast mobile performance. I have read the demo page from this gitHub link.
But I am not understanding how to set it in an already developed site. Do I need to change all tags according to AMP?
better not to mess with existing instead you build new AMP version of your site
(After doing a quick Google)
I don't think there's a an AMP-plugin for Umbraco yet, but that will probably be the way to go. I've been using the AMP-plugin for WordPress for a little while now and it made all posts on my site AMP-compatible without me having to do anything :)
Perhaps check with the Umbraco community whether there's an ETA on such a plugin for their platform?
You can have seperate AMP pages and google will handle the rest. I think that is the safest way to approach it, without having a plugin like they have for wordpress.
You can still enable the users to use the CMS functionality by creating custom data types for e.g. amp-img instead of img. The content editors will just have to be briefed on the basics of AMP.

I recently taught myself the ins and outs of Drupal, became very familiar with Views and Display Suite, and am considering hiring a small development team to build a Guitar Lessons paid membership site for me in Laravel.
I will be creating the content for the site, and don't want to spend much time messing with the site. I need to focus on guitar playing. So the site needs to let me control my content in an efficient way. I need to be able to create views and choose fields and formatting (e.g. recent lessons, similar lessons, etc), as well as have flexibility in where I place views (on a sidebar, etc).
So, that said, are there plugins for Laravel that will enable me to do this or something similar? I mean I can code PHP and write MySQL queries, but I can't imagine creating/editing views at the PHP/MySQL level every time I want to tweak something.
Thanks!
In that case you do not need Laravel (why you think of using it?). Stay with Drupal.
If you really need Laravel for some reason, try to use OctoberCMS, which is based on Laravel. Or ask team hired by you to build custon CMS for you.
In Laravel you must code to add or modify views.
I have been developing websites for some years. I know PHP. but I have never worked with a CMS before. I've been told to create a website with Joomla where there's a homepage and also new users may sign up and then they can have a profile page where they can upload their profile picture and write their résumé.
This is easy for me to implement this system if I start coding it by myself. but how can I do this in Joomla? is there a plug-in which I need? could someone please give me some resources?
No need to re-invent the wheel - there are tons of ready-built components at the Extensions Directory. Last I checked Community Builder and JomSocial were the most popular, but they might be overkill for your need, so it's worth having a look at the other choices there. If you're new to Joomla, you're probably interested in a Component, which is essentially a "sub-application" that installs under Joomla. They usually include Modules that can be displayed on the site, as well as Plugins that work with the core Joomla logic to perform specialized functions for the installed component.
There are many plugins, but the simple functionality of user profiles is implemented in Joomla. This question might help you.
i'm trying out joomla! CMS, and in my job we're very fond of one-page sites. Is there any way of making a fully functional website with it? The main reason we need the CMS is because of the way the client wants to update they're webpage.
Ok before you do anything, have a real think to yourself, is Joomla really the best option? Your client requires a 1 page website, therefore what would be the point in loading a full blown CMS just for that. Joomla, when zipped up, is more or less 8MB. Out of all honestly, I would even find the likes of Wordpress still too big for a project of this size.
What I would really recommend is having a look round on the web for a very small CMS that simply includes a small backend with the ability to create, update and delete articles.
Have a look at this for example:
http://www.elated.com/articles/cms-in-an-afternoon-php-mysql/
This would be a brilliant way to start. It has a small backend for you to manage articles, and you can start building up a completely custom template, exactly to your client's liking. I'm not too sure on the programming skills but if you're fairly new to it, then this would be a good place to start and gain knowledge.
Given that the above is what I would personally recommend, you may not want to do that or may not have the time, therefore if you really want to stick with Joomla, you should find a template that fits your needs in regards to module positions. Else you can add your own custom positions to the template. Have a read through the documentation as it will give you the necessary information
Hope this helps
I was looking for a solution myself for quite a while. I came up with the following two soutions:
Like #mattosmat said for a joomla one page site the simplest solution actually is it to declare one section as the main componenent and create the other section with cusom-made joomla modules.
Use wordpress with the advanced field plugin to create a single-page website.
Actually if a clients wish is it to create a single page website with cck and cms features i create these projects in wordpress and not in joomla anymore in my opinion its the wrong plattform.
I Have One Word!!!
BOOTSTRAP!!!! IS the way to go.. simple,succinct,beginner friendly. Doesnt matter if you really make it in Joomla! or anything else.
And for head start, look up "Scrollspy" in Bootstrap.
I'm playing with Joomla 2.5.9 (The latest 2.X download). Do you know how you can add additional menu's to the "Article Manager: Edit Article" page? (This is in the Administration)
Their API gives me some hint on several things but I am don't know what this right "Slide Down Option Area" is called in the Administration.
In the right area there are things such as:
Publishing options
Article Options
Configure Edit Screen
Images and Links
etc..
I want to know where to start to add my own, or where they are already built in the system so I can base mine off it -- Is this a plugin, module, or something else? :)
As i say don't change any of the core file in Joomla. If you want to add any functionality into the article manager you can make your own plugin to add functionality in it. For doing this see this link :
Creating a content plugin
I hope this is what you looking for.Good luck.
There are some extensions that allow you to do that.
I recommend (although somewhat buggy and a code mess) this one:
FieldsAttach
It does exactly what you want.
Or, you could make your own as Toretto suggests, there are some tutorials on creating a plugin for extra items in the article form, but the already-made-extension route seems to make more sence.
I've been using FieldsAttach for this sort of thing, for a few years, the code is often a little messy, that is true, but the the concepts are clean and eloquent. Brian Teeman explains it well from an integrator point of view in his talk at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2WLKWbRj5U but in some ways it is even more compelling from a developer's perspective.
However, after watching Marco Ding's Joomla Day UK 2016 talk on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDh1IPuZAVA I think DPFields may be a better choice. The architecture is perhaps more rugged and neater, but also because it may well end up being a core extension in Joomla in the near future. More info on DPFields is at http://extensions.joomla.org/extension/dpfields , https://joomla.digital-peak.com/products/dpfields and https://joomla.digital-peak.com/documentation/162-dpfields .
