Hi all,

First of all nice to meet you, its my first time with joomla. I bought jomsocial and installed it without any problem but... i have a site without any page or widget ... i can go on my jomsocial extention in my admin but i am very confused right now i dont know how to build my mainpage and add widget i want.

I want a website like the demo. It should be really easy i am too much on wordpress i guess so a new software is confusing on the first hand. Can anyone help me with that ?

Hi, Jason.

Sure no problem. You say, you want to have site similar to our demo: demo.jomsocial.com/
You'll need to watch or read some tutorials for Joomla:

- how to assign modules
- how to create menus

and so on.

Also you should have access to FREE JomSocial tutorials. Above forum you should see a huge banner how to access it.

Our support forum is limited to JomSocial only but you may ask some things regarding Joomla! too.

But first you should watch some tutorials:

www.joomlatutorials.com/joomla-tutorials/joomla-3-0-tutorials
docs.joomla.org/Tutorials:Beginners
www.siteground.com/tutorials/joomla-video/introduction.htm

If you have specific question shoot... or check forum.joomla.org

Hi, Jason.

:D in past I remember when I've got new cell phone after I used another for a while. I was lost too... I had to learn where are some settings, how to change things. And that's it - one have to LEARN things. Don't expect that every CMS looks and works alike ;)

Wordpress is a very very very easy CMS and as it is it lacks some features. Have only few tables in database.

Joomla is a much bigger CMS that allows you to do a lot of things.

I can't learn you how to use it - you need to do it yourself.

But basically a page in Joomla! can be anything :) Pages are created by components. Joomla! has built-in components like articles, contacts links and so on. Also you can add components. JomSocial is a component.

So it depends from you what page you want to have. You want to display articles as a page? Create menu item, select it type to article (you can set whole category of them or only featured articles), choose article and save.

Then you need to create a Menu Module, set menu to be displayed in that module and assign it to certain module position.

Saying that Joomla! is "not user friendly" is like to complain that real car is not user friendly after playing Collin Mcrae PC game :D

You just need to learn, gain new skills. I can assure you that you'll be happy with Joomla! and freedom/features it gives to users :)

So, relax, read tutorials, play with Joomla! Believe me a lot of users on this forum started to work with Joomla! without any clue... not even to mention that they saw Wordpress frontend only ;) so you have skills just open your mind and don't expect that Joomla! is Wordpress.

As I said before - I can't learn you how to use Joomla! not here. But you may ask dozens of "stupid" questions on forum.joomla.org and Joomla! community will help you. Just ride on! ;) and use Google and YouTube ;)
