I am New to Joomla and this is my First Project I am working on in JOOMLA
Well I have Template Named News Line by Youjoomla ( Most of you Might Have heard about it)
here is my Questions
Well My Client gave me a sudden change in the requirement that he needs some additional parameters in a every contact
Which are Like
Registration Number
Company Name
and More.....
Well Can Anybudy Teach me how to add new parameters to contact in Joomla 1.5
it is a Little Bit Urgent
If you are using the default Joomla contact system then adding custom parameters is rather hard. You will be better off using a Contact Component such as aiContactSafe. You can find more here aswell. Hope this helps and good luck with your first Joomla project

I am new to this forum and also new in using joomla. I have a joomla3.4 site where I would like add extra fields to user registration form. I have searched over this for entirely two days now and got few options like
1)Override registration component
2)modifyng and adding new fileds in root/libraries/joomla/user/user.php
3)using extensions
I am not a joomla expert, hence 1st and 2nd option is bit more complicated for me, since it also invloves core files getting rewritten during joomla upgrade.
I am left with the 3rd option, which makes use of other 3rd party extension. I am not sure how does this 3rd party plugins work. Do they automatically insert the extra fileds data into joomla user table or where it will be stored?
I would like to use captcha-recaptcha into the registration form.
Please guide me on some good extensions(freeor paid) that I can use for registration form.
Your help and support is appreciated.
Thanks,

In theory you should be able to just enable the plugin "User - Profile" that you already have and select the fields you want added to the form. That's not actually working for me on Joomla 3.4 but that may be due to a different issue with some additional symptoms that I'm debugging (Joomla 3.x - Two factor authentication disabled but still working).
I have a huge problem with my VirtueMart. I try to develop a new payment module for it. The main problem is that no matter how I do it VirtueMart seems to refuse to let me store the plug-in in the database and also it refuses to let me choose it as a payment method.
I have disabled all other "countries" except the one that the module is written for. I have followed all guides on joomla mastery. I am convinced that my constructor is correct according to the scarce documentation I have found. I have even copy/pasted an existing payment module and changed all names for the database to something different so I can see if it's created and it's a no-go.
I am starting to get desperate. Does anyone have a good virtuemart developer guide? Do I need to turn some flags on (the flag to update/write to database is on in joomla and virtuemart) or off? How can I programatically FORCE VirtueMart to actually listen to what it say should work in all documentations I've found?
Are there any type of extensions that let people post what they want with categories. So they need to sign-up and sign-in, and then create a new post, then select the relative category that the post will be shown in to other people.
I may need to show posts by geo-localisation restriction, for example, posts appears in just US or UK.
I'm a PHP developer. I can achieve this system, but I wondered if it does already exist some CMS like Joomla doing what I need, to save time. I may also be able to develop such Joomla modules if it's allowed. Please need a push around these requirements since I don't have too much experience with Joomla.
I would recommend you use the article section of joomla which is a built in one. I think the things available in joomla package will suit your category, post and signin and signup requirements.
For geo-localisation restrictions I think your php knowledge is more than enough to change or modify few parts of the code in the joomla. I think this way will help you save some time. I have done these before.They have worked fine for me. Hope this helps you.
I am developing a website where I need to create two user types. One is "member" and the other is "merchant". Both have different areas to be accessed. I am really confused on how can I achieve this.
Also I am trying to add my custom fields of First name and Password in the default Joomla registration form. As soon as I add a new TR with field first name the registration form stops working.
Can you guys help me in doing this?
If you have some troubles with default Joomla registrtion, you could use Community Builder. It is pretty easy to add fields to users profile and users registration. To separate members and merchants you could add field to the registration form called for example Account type. And then according to its value assign new user as registered(members) or author(merchant).
First, adding user types in 1.5 is not going to accomplish the access requirements you have described. You would need to install an access control component to control different user types accessing different content.
Next, Joomla 1.5 is nearing end of life, April 2012 to be exact. Version 1.7.x released last week so you should very seriously consider moving the site to the latest version. An added bonus is that Joomla 1.7.x has built in access control levels that would accomplish what you are trying to do.
Regarding different access levels best thing to do would be upgrade to Joomla 1.6/1.7 It has this functionality built in. It may be possible to achieve this in 1.5 with third party components, but I don't have any experience with this.
Regarding custom registration fields, again, if you upgrade to 1.6/1.7 it has User - Profile plugin which allows to add additional fields to your registration form.
In 1.5 you can use third party components such as ExtendedReg (commercial).

I'm new to joomla. I have been using Drupal for quite some time.
I would like to created new content types for news and announcements. How may I accomplish creating new content type in Joomla without installing a new module.
You're coming from Drupal so I am thinking that what you're looking for and cannot find in Joomla is something like CCK (Content Construction Kit)
Unfortunately this is not available by default in Joomla. You have to use extensions to create new types of content that contain specific fields.
Best free CCKs available for Joomla :
Form2Content (my favorite)
K2 (most popular, highly recommended)
You can find more in Joomla Extension Directory
I would say the same, for me i always use k2 as it integrates with many plugins and modules also featuring rich content forms
As per the answer from #Ahmad, install a CCK to add new content types.
In your case however, the built in Joomla functionality may suffice such as creating content categories for news and announcements and choosing menu options or modules to suit.
While K2 is a great CCK, there is a table named "jos_content_types", which makes me think, that joomla can handle content-types as well.
With different views, form-xml files and so one.
I found it while looking on this page: https://docs.joomla.org/J3.x:Using_Tags_in_an_Extension
But i didn't find any doc about creating new content-types easily by now. Does someone have more infos, how to create a new content-Type? Or is it just a new component, we have to create?
