Platform:
- Joomla 3.2.1 – Stable http://www.joomla.org/
- Joomla is a free and open-source content management framework (CMS) for publishing web content.
- It is built on a model–view–controller web application framework that can be used independently of the CMS.
- Joomla is written in PHP, uses object-oriented programming (OOP) techniques and software design patterns, stores data in a MySQL, MS SQL, or PostgreSQL database, and includes features such as page caching, RSS feeds, printable versions of pages, news flashes, blogs, polls, search, and support for language internationalization.
Templates:
- Responsible for the layout, design and structure of a website.
- While the CMS manages the content, a template manages the look and feel of the content elements and the overall design of a website.
- The template is where the design of the main layout for a site is set. This includes where users place different elements (components, modules, and plug-ins), which are responsible for the different types of content.
