What is Joomla? Joomla is a content management system that is open source and free to use.

I've tested all of the html editors for Joomla and this by far the best available. There is a $20 support fee that you'll need to join on the JCE website to get the best versions of the editor, but it is worth it.

How to setup for your site:

1. Install the JCE Component.

2. Install Editor Mambot

3. Install Utilities Mambot

4. Install the following Plugins:

- File Manager

- Media Manager

- Image Manager

- Advanced Link

I've tested most of the sitemaps available for Joomla and this one was the easiest to install and the sitemap adjusts by the user....so if you have pages only available to members of your site then those pages won't show up on the sitemap until you sign in (that is the way I have it configured, optionally it allows you to display the page with a members only note next to the page).

This component does exactly what it claims. You are able to add additional access levels and as many groups as you would like. I have a site that requires a basic and plus level of access and this ACL component solved the problem. This component does work with the AEC subscription component.

Account Expiration Control - Subscription Manager - AEC

This component is the best subscription manager I've found. It allows you to use multiple different payment processing systems. I've tested it with Paypal and it works. I recommend you become a member and get their support documentation it will assist in the setup for this component.

There are various places on the net to get templates. My favorite is a template called Element by Joomlashack. It is a very crisp and clean looking template. It costs $35. I like the template because it has a double horizontal menu at the top of the site. This is a big space saver on your pages (you can optionally have your main menu show up on the left side of the page as well).
