Mobile Makes Reaching Customers Easier Than Ever...with Joomla CMS



Posted by: nicole on May 16, 2012

Tagged in: Untagged 

The latest evolution in internet marketing tools is here: Joomla Content Management System (CMS). With Joomla CMS, it’s easy to reach out and advertise to the 50% (and counting) of Americans who own smartphones while maintaining a consistently attractive website no matter what device the customer uses to access the site. There are a few ways Joomla CMS can help you maximize your website’s potential, depending on your preferences and your company’s requirements. 

Apps Versus Mobile Websites



It’s important to distinguish between an app and a mobile website. An app is something users download onto their device to access content, while a mobile site is something that displays in a mobile web browser. 

Users typically search for apps in an online store like Google Play for Android apps or iTunes for iPhones. Users get to the mobile version of a website simply by visiting it with their mobile browser. 

Some Joomla extensions can make a website into a mobile app but most are developed separately from the Joomla CMS. Mobile websites, however, are usually created by components working with the CMS. 



Many companies choose to have a mobile site developed because it is more cost effective, easily updated, and accessible across more devices than an app. Below are the four ways you can think about developing a mobile version of your website.

Joomla! CMS Development - Tools and tips for Building a Software Management and Back up strategy

Posted by: cnielsen on Apr 25, 2012

Managing custom programming and integrations for Joomla! CMS

At CNP Integrations the Joomla! CMS is our company’s core focus and key area of expertise. The central power of this open source platform for content management and client solutions is the diverse collection of over 9000 extensions and the vibrant support from a global development community. Joomla is the most popular CMS system in Europe and the second most popular in the US with 2.8% of all web portals in the world using Joomla! CMS. Considering that 70% of the web is still using static web pages, the current trend suggests that dynamic web sites which leverage Joomla! CMS will only grow in popularity. As this need in the marketplace grows for dynamic web portals there too will be a greater need for administrators to adopt effective software management practices if they want to remain cost effective and competitive.  To manage the associated costs or extensibility requirements for maintenance on any dynamic portal you need a solid version control, change logging and data backup strategy.

New CNP Client Launch: Truthout.org

Posted by: jonathan on Mar 23, 2012

Tagged in: publishing , news , K2 , Joomla! , import , Drupal , custom , CMS , client

CNP is proud to announce the recent re-launch of a new website for one of our clients, Truthout.org, a large online news organization.  This is the first project CNP has undertaken involving a major migration from Drupal to Joomla!, and it’s been a very exciting process for us!  When we first started this migration, we looked long and hard for any technology or process that we could follow to help us accomplish this, but found none.  So we had to develop this technology and process from scratch.  Here’s a little bit about the challenges and solutions that we found worked best for our migration.

Content Construction

As I’m sure any developer realizes, the content structure and storage in Drupal is radically different than Joomla!, so mapping out each field, what it’s function was, where it appeared, and an equivalent location in Joomla! was crucial.  As you can imagine, Joomla!’s default content component (com_content) just wouldn’t cut it.  With about 15-20 different fields being brought over for every content piece we used the popular K2 Content Construction Kit to help us adapt in a Joomla! environment.  K2’s options like it’s image and media handling, and it’s versatile extrafields options made it much easier to handle content and still preserve good workflow for the editors and staff putting in content.  But we didn’t stop there.  We’ve created several custom extrafield types in order to answer several specific needs for users.

User Management

One of the major requirements for this site was the ability to have author attribution for multiple authors.  This is something that, historically, Joomla! didn’t handle.  Fortunately, CNP Integrations has already tackled this problem for another client also using K2.  Using custom solutions developed by CNP, K2 sites are able to easily select multiple contributors to an article that are then easily displayed in the article itself.  Another factor unique to a site like this was the fact that the contributors must be displayed in order according to the level of their contribution to the article.  Here again CNP developed unique capability to adjust the order in which the contributors/authors are displayed.  Using this makes it much easier to provide accurate attribution for articles with multiple authors or contributors.

Site Security

One of the major factors in the decision to overhaul the site was it’s security.  Before CNP Integrations was contracted, the Truthout site was getting maliciously hacked and taken down about once a week.  This, obviously, caused a lot of problems, both for the monetary efforts of the site, and also for the credibility to readers.  One of CNP’s top priorities with all our clients is security.  With our unique client base of government organizations, businesses that rely on their site for a living, and large organizations like Truthout, keeping our sites secure has been a top priority.  To help ensure minimal risk for all of our clients, CNP lays out strict security protocols that start with the basics of keeping every site, and every extension up to date.  On top of the basic security measures we implement the Securelive security suite allowing us to take a proactive stance in protecting our site by actively monitoring all traffic, preventing CMS specific attacks, and reporting attacks to law enforcement for further action.  Since implementing Securelive on truthout, Truthout.org went from being attacked and taken down every week, to having no successful hacking incidents in several months.

The list of interesting and exciting new features we’ve built into this site can go on for a long time, but I won’t list them all here.  If you wan’t to know more about the work we did here, the innovations developed here, or have questions about implementing anything in your site, feel free to get in touch, we’d love to talk with you!

As a Project Manager for many different types of Joomla! sites, Truthout.org is definitely one of the most interesting projects we’ve run across.  With it’s unique requirements for security, content, and user management, CNP Integrations was able to employ innovative solutions to help build the site into a successful, and secure portal with the potential to grow in the future.  We’re already working closely with Truthout in developing new features to better serve it’s readers.  The future definitely looks bright for Truthout, and with Joomla! at it’s core, CNP Integrations is proud to support it!
