So right now I'm managing a staff of about 30 people working on a school website based off of Joomla 1.5. I am trying to make all of our Joomla articles regarding our sports teams follow the same general template (example). Right now, I'm just having everyone do it individually, which obviously causes quite a few inconsistencies. Ideally I would like to replace the articles in that section with a form (on the backend) that just has input fields for the various information (team name, schedule, roster, coaches, etc.) and then displays it using the template on the frontend. The closet thing I have found is Content Templater, but I'm wondering if there is a better way. Thanks in advance.
instead of using joomla's core article system you can try using a very popular joomla extension K2 http://getk2.org/
It had all the features that are available in joomla content system. In addition to it you can create custom field.
As in your case just create a category sports team, create an extra fields group with files like team name, schedule, roster, coaches and select this field group while creating a category.
Now all the items in that category will show these custom fields where you can enter your data.
It also provide a great template system so that you can create different layouts for different category . See here http://getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/item/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates

If an app that uses Parse needs a web-based data admin system, what's the best way to go?
I know Parse.com already offers a data browser, but its main use case isn't for someone to mass enter data or perform admin functions. I know I can make one from scratch with the libraries found here on the Parse API Libraries page, but I was just wondering if there was a standard or most used way to use 3rd party admin panels.
Given that there is no "standard data admin", other than perhaps letting them edit all fields on all objects (which is provided by the data browser), I wouldn't expect to find some 3rd party admin panel.
What you do and don't expose in an admin interface often varies from product to product, some fields might be there only to support easier searching and be read-only (or hidden) even in admin screens.
Unfortunately that means you need to roll your own admin screens using whichever SDK works best for you.
Be aware that (last I checked) the JavaScript SDK only works for Internet Explorer if your pages are hosted on SSL (https), due to a quirk in IE. If you want to support IE you might want to use Parse's Cloud Hosting.

I need a module that serves as a marketplace / multi vendor system for Magento. I searched on the web to see if I could buy one, and found some. One that got my interest was:
http://store.webkul.com/Magento-Extensions/Magento-Marketplace.html
But the problem with all of them was, they keep a unified catalog.
In my case, imagine that I would like to create a e-Commerce where there are a lot of pizza places, each pizza place with its own menu. With a unified catalog, the user would enter on the website, see all the pizzas, and when choosing from a pizza nearby, they may not have the kind that the user wanted.
So that's why I wanted a module that first:
1. Show the places nearby;
Then, with a specific place selected, show the catalog just for that place.
At first, when searching for products on the website, show the product and who is selling it, instead of just showing the product, as it is right now with this module mentioned above.
I thought of buying that module and write code to fit to my needs:
1. Associating the product with the vendor who added it, and when showing the catalog for a vendor, show just the products that he added;
Override the catalog search module. Showing instead of all products, show the nearby vendors and a small list of their products;
but since I don't have access to the code of the module before buying, it may not be a good idea.... who can ensure that I will be able to perform those modifications?
So, short:
What is a best approach to develop such a module in Magento?
Thank you.

I am new in joomla 1.5.26 . I am trying to edit some certain articles for registered user but not for all articles. In my current situation all articles are becoming editable. But I want to make some of the articles would be editable.
Please guide me how to do that.
Thanks in advance.
if you want to allow your users to edit only a kind of articles, you need ACL.
Sadly, there is no such thing in Joomla 1.5 (unless you buy a commercial extension), but you can find it natively in Joomla 2.5
It's a very powerful thing, give it a try!
EDIT
If you REALLY need to use joomla 1.5, take a look at this component : it adds the ACL logic inside site. I never tested it, however here you can find more ACL extensions
You can edit any article from admin panel by logging in as Admin. In case you are logging in frontend with admin account then you can edit all articles,any other register user can not edit thees articles, this functionality is available for admin only.

Can someone explain what the XMLConnect extension is and what it is used for? I know that in general it can be used to develop a mobile friendly site, but that's about as far as I've gotten with my Google searches. Does anyone have experience working with this extension and can provide some details and/or examples?
Thanks!
XMLConnect is, essentially, an XML service. One way to think of a "normal" Magento website is
Backend code adds things to carts, fetches products from database, etc.
Execution is handed off to the layout system
Layout system makes HTML/Javascript/CSS
Magento has a product called Magento Mobile, which lets you create an iPhone or Android application to sell products from your Magento system. Magento Mobile works something like this
Backend code add things to carts, fetches products from databases, etc.
Execution is handed off to an XML rendering system
XML is sent back to the phone
The binary application sitting on the phone processes the XML and makes the pixels on the phone look and act like a store
XMLConnect is the module that lets Magento do this. It creates XML requests/responses.
Additional Reading: Develop your own Magento mobile application

I'm fairly new to Joomla - so hopefully this isn't too simple.
My client would like to have a separate discussion forums per "Page". For instance, say you user groups Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3 and have Page 1, Page 2, and Page 3. Each Page will have a discussion forum that will only be accessible by the corresponding Group. To handle the permissions I've been using noixACL, and that seems like it will do the job.
My problem is I'm not able to create separate forums with any of the components I've tried yet. The two forum components I've liked are ccBoard and Kunena Forum. If I create a new link for either one it will only create a page that has all the forums and categories listed, I really need to have a link per forum so I could place the link on the separate Pages.
If anyone has any suggestions, or know of any modules that will display only a single forum/category I would appreciate it, thanks.
What if you install say, phpbb and bridge it with joomla with rokbridge.
On phpbb make each forum private and hidden from the other groups, so its only 1 single forum but each group can only see 1 section. so it will be only 1 link but the content will depend on what the group permission has.
