Language Switcher

The language switcher module allows you to take advantage of the language tags that are available when content, modules and menu links are created.

This module displays a list of available Content Languages for switching between them.

When switching languages, it redirects to the Home page, or associated menu item, defined for the chosen language. Thereafter, the navigation will be the one defined for that language.

The language filter plugin must be enabled for this module to work properly.

Help

To view an example of the language switch moduler module, go to the site administrator and enable the language filter plugin and the language switcher module labelled "language switcher" and visit the fruit shop or park sample sites. Then follow the instructions in this tutorial.

Getting Started

It's easy to get started creating your website. Knowing some of the basics will help.

What is a Content Management System?

A content management system is software that allows you to create and manage webpages easily by separating the creation of your content from the mechanics required to present it on the web.

In this site, the content is stored in a database. The look and feel are created by a template. The Joomla! software brings together the template and the content to create web pages.

Site and Administrator

Your site actually has two separate sites. The site (also called the front end) is what visitors to your site will see. The administrator (also called the back end) is only used by people managing your site. You can access the administrator by clicking the "Site Administrator" link on the "This Site" menu or by adding /administrator to the end of you domain name.

Log in to the administrator using the username and password created during the installation of Joomla.

Logging in

To login to the front end of your site use the login form or the login menu link on the "This Site" menu. Use the user name and password that were created as part of the installation process. Once logged-in you will be able to create and edit articles.

In managing your site, you will be able to create content that only logged-in users are able to see.

Creating an article

Once you are logged-in, a new menu will be visible. To create a new article, click on the "submit article" link on that menu.

The new article interface gives you a lot of options, but all you need to do is add a title and put something in the content area. To make it easy to find, set the state to published and put it in the Joomla category.

You can edit an existing article by clicking on the edit icon (this only displays to users who have the right to edit).

Learn more

There is much more to learn about how to use Joomla! to create the web site you envision. You can learn much more at the Joomla! documentation site and on the Joomla! forums.

Second Blog Post

Lorem Ipsum is text that is traditionally used by designers when working on a site before the content is ready.

Pellentesque bibendum metus ut dolor fermentum ut pulvinar tortor hendrerit. Nam vel odio vel diam tempus iaculis in non urna. Curabitur scelerisque, nunc id interdum vestibulum, felis elit luctus dui, ac dapibus tellus mauris tempus augue. Duis congue facilisis lobortis. Phasellus neque erat, tincidunt non lacinia sit amet, rutrum vitae nunc. Sed placerat lacinia fermentum. Integer justo sem, cursus id tristique eget, accumsan vel sapien. Curabitur ipsum neque, elementum vel vestibulum ut, lobortis a nisl. Fusce malesuada mollis purus consectetur auctor. Morbi tellus nunc, dapibus sit amet rutrum vel, laoreet quis mauris.
