The Kyalami Schools (NPC) web site was launched today.

The four previous web sites were combined into one web site, built on the Joomla! Content Management System (CMS).

There's the main site for Kyalami Schools, and sub-sections for Beaulieu Preparatory School, Kyalami Preparatory School, and Beaulieu College.

The main site has a news section that feeds from the individual sites news sections, and each school has their own news sections, as well as a different template for all 4 web sites.

Joomla ACL is used to control admin access to the various school sections.

The Joomla! Project today announced the availability of Joomla! CMS 3.1.0 Stable. Joomla 3.1 the second minor release in the Joomla! 3 series.

A major new feature that comes with Joomla! 3.1 is Tags. Dynamic tagging is now available across all content types.

When designing a web site, or planning the content structure of a site, one is often faced with the issue of choosing between one or another category for an article.

Many times, content fits into more then one category, or you would like to provide visitors to your web site with more then one way to find the content they are looking for.

This is where the new Tags feature of the Joomla! 3.1 CMS will be very valuable.

Today the Joomla! project released the first in a new series: Joomla!® 3.0

Joomla! 3.0 comes with a brand new look & feel for the Administration area, that's the result of great work by the Joomla! UX (JUX) team. Joomla! 3.0 is Mobile Ready with a fully responsive site template, adming UI, and responsive core output.

If you are still using Joomla! 1.5 you should have a look at all the new features that's available in 2.5

Official support for the 1.5 series is said to end later this year, and it would be a good idea to start making plans to upgrade to the latest Long Term Support version (2.5)

Those who are still on 1.6.x or 1.7.x are strongly encouraged to Update to 2.5 without delay, since none the 1.6 and 1.7 series are no longer supported, and not secure.
