Joomla! is a popular CMS, and control panel is an essential part of any CMS. The Joomla! control panel is known as Joomla! administrator panel. We have also installed Jobs! component to build our jobsite. This component provides control panel interface as well. In order to manage your Joomla! jobsite properly, you must familiarize yourselves with the Joomla! 1.5 administrator control panel and Jobs! control panel interface.

The super-administrator can manage the whole website from this backend control panel.

At the top of the screen, you will see all the tabs. You will see all the buttons below these tabs, on the left-hand side. You will see also RSS Feeds, Unpublished Companies, Statistics, and others, beside the buttons on the right-hand side.

This book covers everything you need to know about Joomla 1.5 installation and configuration as well as its advertised Jobs! Pro component so it is targeted at the Joomla beginner.Everything is there including installing XAMPP and Joomla, even the basics of Joomla template design.The real meat of the book, Jobs! Pro, starts at Chapter 5 and from there covers all you need to know about this extension. If your a beginner at Joomla and haven't used Jobs! Pro before then this book is ideal.The final chapter deals with Joomla Search Engine Optimization.This is a book aimed at a very precise market, Jobs! Pro but a large portion of the book clearly explains all you need to know about Joomla itself so it can be recommended on that basis as well.

The book "Building job sites with Joomla!" concerned primarily only one issue, the construction sites with job offers. It's true that the author added some more general topics such as about SEO, but do not change the fact that it is addressed to a very narrow audience.The first chapter I was very disappointed, as usual, several pages how to install Joomla! and ... how to install the commercial component of Jobs!. The author wrote only that it is commercial, and gave the address page. I wish I had made an effort to specify exactly why he chose this instead of another extension, because we have more than one (ex. JA Job Board) to build this kind of web page.And was any word why Joomla! is the best possible CMS, the construction of such sites, because there is some scripts build ony for this.Thus the impression that the subsequent chapters is simply advertising and documentation of this component, not a case study site, which is already working on this component.Chapter 3 what about how build a template, it is quite chaotic and too little practical, looks like a rewritten documentation. There are a lot of unnecessary information, and is not the most important, being guided by building or selecting a template for such sites.The next chapter is about the administration of a duplication of information from other books for beginners.I think a person who reaches out for the title already knows the basics of CMS, therefore, considers it a waste of paper.The last chapter of SEO - is also weak, the author mentions only one extension, as if forgetting the other, in my opinion, more useful for administration of Joomla.Information were also taken notice, and where this whole marketing and HR coating. In a word, I'm disappointed. Only 2 or 3 chapters are useful with description extension, but the rest of the content is very far-fetched, sorry.
