How do I display the form in the frontend in Joomla 2.5, just like the Create Article form shown in the frontend?
You can obviously create an form in an article but it will be pointless as the form will require PHP functions which cannot be written in an article.
Your best bet would be to develop a simple module which you can embed in an article or download a free form extension from the Joomla Extensions Directory.

I would like to build a custom application in Laravel framework and include it in Joomla.
What I would like to do is to replace central content of Joomla with application served from content.
Joomla url: http://www.joomlasite.com/campaign-directory -> should show content from laravel url: http://www.joomlasite.com/laravel/directory/showall
I noticed component Joomi for Joomla, but Iam not sure if this component will be able to do that.
Please advice.
Thanks!
I think you mean Jumi, and yes, I think that Jumi can do what you want, but I believe there are other easier ways to achieve what you need to do. What you can do is use the iFrame Wrapper component in Joomla to "wrap" your lavarel application and display it in Joomla. Try that before using a Jumi if possible.
I am trying to add a country selector to the front page of my site for the users to be able to select a country and land on a specific page. I have not been able to find a Joomla extension for this, but I found a jquery plugin that does this, but I am not sure how to or is there a way to add this to my Joomla site.
The jquery plugin
There are multiple ways to do that:
http://extensions.joomla.org/extension/jquery-easy
Install a plugin to include jQuery in
b. http://dabrook.org/blog/two-ways-to-include-jquery-in-your-document
Do that for joomla template file (don't forget jQuery.NoConflict())
And at the and modify article with that country picker (put JS code in).
OR
Develop a plugin to do all that. (for more experienced user)
I have written a php page that is getting data from a database and graph it via highcharts javascript.
I would like now to be able to put that in joomla and then use the username from joomla to graph the specific data from that user.
How can I do that?
Thanks for your help,
John.
You should use an iFrame Wrapper menu item whenever you want to include a page that isn't part of your Joomla website.
I just want to know can I customized joomla template to looks like my design template ? I already designed a template for customer. But he needs to develop his website using joomla. So I have to put my template to the joomla. is that possible ? if it is please send me some reference. I'm going thought with references.
Joomla templates are based around a PHP index file and allow you to create overrides for each of the content types output by Joomla.
The Joomla Doc's site has a section on templates that you should start with.
Make sure you read up on Template Overrides and Module Chrome as well. Reviewing the templates installed by Joomla is also a good place to start. You can get a good feel for how they are structured and what they're capable of by looking at the default templates.
By the way if your client is only just building their website now they should be starting with Joomla 3.2 not 2.5, it has a lot of great features and is very Bootstrap friendly. In fact the tag line for the 3 series is "Mobile Ready"
Template systems like JooStrap also have Bootstrap 3 integrated already.
I just want to know can I customized joomla template to looks like my
design template ?
That's tedious works; the opposite is easier. Your design can be turned to Joomla template. Just add template codes to your HTML and your design can be used as Joomla template.
For example, you need to add the following code before <html>:
<?php defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );?>
For a basic guide, visit: https://docs.joomla.org/Creating_a_basic_Joomla!_template
There are also codes to display your website contents and modules.
Im completely new to Joomla development. I need to develop Joomla plugin that adds static javascript to the footer of all the pages of a Joomla site. Also, the plugin would need to save 2 fields in database, and access these fields on per page basis. Also, Admin panel is needed.
Now, my questoion is, where do i start? Joomla plugin development is a big task, so if I can get some pointers as to where to start, it would be very supporting.
Im not asking for direct code, but just the right direction to start.
Thanx in advance....
Joomla has three types of extensions (what you refered to as plugin): components, modules and plugins, where each has a different purpose.
If you need to add javascript to all pages, the best place is your template. If you don't have access to template, just building an extension, then you have to create a content plugin.
If you need to create extension with admin panel which also works with database, you need to create a component. The best place to get started is tutorial Developing a MVC component for Joomla 2.5
