HariesDesign.com - What's new in Joomla 1.6? Many websites require a tiered user permission system, in which specific user groups are given different permissions and access to other parts of the site that a traditional user may not be (i.e. a paid site, which has "premium" content, but also free options). This paper looks at a method for which administrators could create usergroups, and set permissions including limiting access to modules.

Bloggers recommendation

• Improving the RSS syndication module by adding support for pinging
• Including a simple social bookmarking module in the Joomla core

 

Making writing articles easier

• When inserting an image using the "image" button at the bottom of the article text-box, the dimensions of the image should automatically be added. 
• The ability to link to other articles on the website from within the editor. This could be done by a "link within website" button next to the "image, "page break" and "read more..." buttons, or simply within the format options by clicking on the link button within the Tiny MCE editor.

Meta Tag Control

• Option of removing the generator tag in "Global Configuration" in the "Metadata Settings" box.
•  Ability to add different meta tags of the different page of an article created by using pagination.

 

SEF URL control

• Each content item can only be accessed through one URL so that duplicate content is avoided.
• The possibility of redirecting pages if they move: e.g. if you move an article from one category to another you can add a manual redirect.
• The option of having SEF URLs, These components produce URLS like the following: www.site.com/section/category/page-name.html

 

Making a new Groups

• Administrators can create groups, and limit access to specific modules on a group by group basis
• Allow for automation. Example, if users pay for access, then they're automatically placed in a special group
• Allow for an unlimited number of groups
