How to easily add Javascript snippets to Joomla

Google Analytics on a mobile device.

If you're into analyzing the traffic of your Joomla website (as you should be IMHO), you will probably need to add some tracking software to your site. The most obvious one is Google Analytics. Other choices can be Crazyegg, GoingUp or other solutions.

All of these, as well as other solutions, require that you add a Javascript snippet to your site. In this post I'll show you how to add some module positions to your template. This will make it easier to add the required scripts to your website.

Why pasting content from Word into Joomla is a bad idea

As it happens, readers email me about problems on their Joomla sites or about things they don't quite get. And I try my best to answer their questions. I don't have the time for doing specific support for every user that emails me, but sometimes a quick look at the site can help the user solve his problem easily.

Last week, a reader emailed me about some problems with the content on his site. For some reason, the content was showing nicely on all browsers except on Internet Explorer 8. Was I able to help?

How to disable the editor buttons in Joomla

Below the content editor in a Joomla article, you will find a couple of buttons. These buttons are there to enable tou to add images, read more dividers and page breaks to your articles.

If you're using JCE or another WYSIWYG editor for Joomla, you probably want to get rid of these buttons. JCE has its own image manager and icons for both read more and page break. So having the additional buttons below the editor can confuse your users. The image button in particular, as it leads to the default Joomla image functions and not the improved ones in JCE.

In this post, I'll show you how to disable the buttons.

How to control article order on the Joomla front page

I got this question the other day:

I have a question that is quite important for me and for all that would want to use Joomla as a blogging CMS. Is there any plugin or something to schedule articles in a similar way as Wordpress?

What I mean is: Sometimes I schedule an article to be published for example 2 hours later. For some reason, I need to write and publish a fast article before the scheduled article goes live. The problem is that when the scheduled one is published, it will appear just below the recently published article. I would like it to be published over the article, appearing as the newest one.

Actually, this is easily done with Joomla itself.

How to install a Joomla template

Joomla 1.5 installs with three pre-installed templates. These templates are good as a starting point when learning Joomla. Still, if you want to create a Joomla website, you will want to look at other templates as well.

There are a lot of templates out there. Both free and commercial. I usually recommend spending a few dollars on a template from a professional provider if you're creating a business website. You will get those dollars back in less frustrations, better search engine rankings and easier customization. The support is also better (not always, though).

This tutorial will show you how to install a Joomla template and how to get started customizing it.

Joomla CSS for beginners

In this post I will try and give you an overview on how to use CSS in Joomla.

How to set an alternative Joomla text editor as default

Joomla comes with a built-in text editor: TinyMCE.
