Joomla Articles From 12 Years of Development Work.

After more than 12 years of working with Joomla, I finally made it to the Joomla World Conference in person. JWC2026 took place in Potsdam, Germany from 16 to 18 October 2026, and I travelled all the way from Ahmedabad, India to be there. Every hour of that journey was worth it.

Joomla AI means using artificial intelligence inside your Joomla website or its extensions to save time on content, SEO, translation and visitor support.

Joomla Modules are one of the most important features of Joomla. They allow administrators to display menus, login forms, search boxes, article lists, banners, and custom content anywhere on a website.

Almost every website needs a way for visitors to contact the site owner, a department, or a specific employee. A Contact Us page is often one of the most visited pages on a website and plays an important role in communication and customer support.

SEF stands for Search Engine Friendly URLs.SEF URLs make website addresses easier for both visitors and search engines to understand. Instead of displaying complex Joomla routing parameters, SEF URLs convert them into clean and readable links.

Joomla plugins are powerful extensions that allow developers to add or modify functionality without changing Joomla core files. Plugins work through Joomla's event-driven architecture, enabling custom code to execute automatically when specific actions occur.

A Joomla plugin is an extension that adds or modifies functionality without creating a separate page or menu item. Without plugins, adding features such as SEO tools, spam protection, social login, or custom functionality would require modifying Joomla's core code.

When people start working with Joomla extensions people usually find components, modules and plugins. Components and modules are the parts you can see on a website. Plugins do their work, behind the scenes. Plugins quietly listen for events and then act automatically whenever those events happen.

Websites naturally change as time goes on. You might rename articles, move categories around, change your menus, or redesign parts of your site. Even though these changes make a website better, they can also cause broken links.
