How can I add user comment system in joomla 1.6 articles? Its for a custom blog system. there is a article category named "Blog" in the site. I want, when user read articles of this category, they can comment on it. there are some extensions for joomla 1.5. but cannot find any good one for 1.6. i also found "discussit" for discussion. but don't like it much to use 3rd party. it would better to use a pure commenting system for a article category. you can also suggest a free blog extension for joomla 1.6. thanks in advance.
Well, it's not free but you could integrate Facebook commenting with this extension -

If FB is prevalent in your area this could be a very good solution since it has the added advantage of other FB users seeing your comments.
Otherwise, did you look st JA Comment. It's probably your best bet as a pure commenting system.

At this point, your only other choice will be to upgrade to one of the CCK systems that has commenting built in.
Yootheme (Professional Joomla Club) has also a solution as part of their Joomla Appication Framwork Zoo (http://www.yootheme.com/zoo/index.php).
Take a look here http://www.yootheme.com/zoo/app-bundle/blog/frontpage.
Rockettheme (The other big one in the market) has a comment system :

I am currently seeking a module Free blog for a Joomla site.
I just made the turn extensions on joomla.org but I found nothing!
I do not want to go through the standard features of joomla but by a module (management articles, pagination, comment section most commented, most read, RSS, short blog features).
You would not have used this type of module?
Seems this needed some more searching from you. Joomla JED is full of Blog Extensions here Joomla JED
Almost all of them can work as a blog as you described above.
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 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 .
I had an issues with some joomla api. The issue was that I was using the latest version of joomla and couldn't find where a joomla class, that was being called in my code, was derived . I searched the joomla api docs and found nothing relating to the class I was looking for.
I then stumbled across the refactoring change log for joomla and noticed that the function i was after had actually been moved from /libraries/joomla/form to libraries/cms/form.
Why would this be the case? There doesn't seem to be any reference to /libraries/cms in the api docs. How are we suppose to know that there are classes living there? Very confusing.
Since Joomla! 1.6 the code has been progressively split into the Joomla! CMS and the Joomla! Platform. You can see this separation in the github repository - a good place to also keep track of changes that are committed to both the CMS and the Platform. The simplest way is fork each repository and keep track of them.
As classes are updated they may be migrated to the /libraries/cms directory if they apply specifically to the CMS application (e.g. html forms are an application level function not a platform level).
I find the best place to hear about changes under discussion are in the respective Google Groups - Joomla! Platform Development and Joomla! CMS Development
[Edit]
Documentation of class's is the hardest thing to find for Joomla! CMS - there doesn't appear to be a current api listing for it, unlike the Platform API reference. Often it is just easier to read through the code.
It's also worth keeping a watch on the developer sub-site.

We plan to create a FAQ website. It will include two types of content:
Lists of questions (FAQs), and
HTML for each answer.
When user chooses a list and clicks a question, the answer will load in Ajax style.
A very similar approach was described here: Ajax FAQ loading using jquery?
But, before we start developing our own CMS, we would like to make sure that no existing solution is directly applicable. So, my question is: are you aware of any existing CMS for creating Ajax-style FAQs?
We are particularly interested in WordPress plugins (one is listed in my own answer below).
Two solutions I found that are likely to be applicable:
WP DS FAQ: FAQ management tool for WordPress. Replaces specific code on a page with a pre-defined list of questions and answers. Requires WordPress version 2.7 or higher, compatible up to 3.2.1. Last ipdated in August 2011.
Core Design FAQ plugin for Joomla. FAQ is created out of a K2 content module. Requires Joomla version 1.7. Last ipdated in August 2011.
