Creating advanced forms in Joomla

This is my first Joomla! tutorial. Today I was having many problems trying to create a form with lots of complex validations using JQuery library and high use of databasing storage into Joomla! with Chronoforms component. So, as a developer, I decided to hard code my form not using any form component. I used Sourcerer which is a great plug-in to insert HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP… inside your joomla articles. In this video I show you how to create a very simple form and pass the vars into a Joomla! article using PHP. I’m pretty sure it will be quite useful when you’re trying to work with advanced forms in Jooma!

WordPress Tutorial – Edit a Sidebar File Using a Text Editor

This Advanced-level WordPress tutorial shows how to download, edit and upload a WordPress theme sidebar file (sidebar.php) using FTP software and a text editor. This is considered an advanced WordPress tutorial because you work with the files for the WordPress theme. You do not use the WordPress Dashboard in this tutorial. The tutorial assumes you know how to setup and use FTP software on your computer so that you can download and upload the sidebar file. It also assumes you know how to open a text file like sidebar.php using a text editor. On a PC, common text editors are Notepad and Wordpad. On a Mac, the default text editor is TextEdit. A good Macintosh text editor for HTML and PHP files is BBEdit.
