While our CMS has grown up and is younger and more active than ever, the documentation based on MediaWiki is getting on in years and will be going into retirement before long. We are currently developing new documentation based on Joomla! to demonstrate the power of our CMS.<br />Until the official release of the new documentation (scheduled for October 2025), some pages may not be up to date with the current release of Joomla. In the meantime, the unofficial user guide <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="https://jdocmanual.org"><b>Jdocmanual</b></a> and the official <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="https://manual.joomla.org/"><b>Joomla! Programmers Documentation</b></a> may help you as an alternative.<br /> <b>Your help with the update is very welcome and appreciated!
