Chapter 20: Customizing the Appearance of Joomla!

Chapter 21: Customizing Joomla! Functionality

Chapter 22: Extending Your Site

Part IV moves into how to customize the appearance and functionality of the system. The first chapter in this section takes an in-depth look at Joomla! templates. I explain how the templates work, how to customize their appearance, and even how to create your own templates from scratch. There is also discussion of template frameworks and examples of using Twitter Bootstrap in Joomla! 3. The next chapter looks at the core components, modules, and plug-ins, with an eye towards explaining the underlying MVC architecture, and how the elements work. Customization of the components and modules is also covered. The final chapter in this section looks at extending your Joomla! website. In that chapter, I also look at a set of extensions you can add to Joomla! 3 to address common website issues.
