Wow Joomla is so bad

Wow for the past two hours I have been trying to use joomla on my site but everything is so hard to configure and I had to constantly google for instructions. The admin panel is way too complicated and extremely hard to navigate. So after 2 hours I am uninstalling and sticking with drupal.

 

whenever i tried to install drupal it gave me some errors
so me sticking with joomla

 

druapaler here
I don't like the way joomla does things like fortify

 

agreed Joomla is quite hard to configure, always coz me headache haha.
but, once u familiar, it's great!

 

joomla i like it!! get some experience in it...it is very much customizable!

 

Are you guys web designers?

 

I hate them both so much i went back to HTML/CSS

really frustrating the pair of them

1). Drupal you need to be a php wizard to do anything worthwhile
2). Joomla you need to be a brain surgeon to work out how to build a menu and add links..

 

Joomla so hard to use

 

I agree. I've used Xoops, Joomla , and a few other cms and they all take a while to learn. I was recently researching Typo3 cms. It's an excellent cms but some people were saying it takes several months and sometimes up to 6 months to learn typo3 cms, wow.. Trying to customize these cms takes a lot of effort too.

 

Haven't used joomla yet, and still don't want to use it anymore. it is nice to hear that Joomla is so bad. drupal is good one for me.

 

I'm using Joomla for four months now and it is easy to configure. It took me about a week to get used to it though (I've never used any CMS before), but since then it is easy and efficient.

I don't know PHP or CSS and still I was able to customize my sites without much work.

2 hours are nothing... you can't say that Joomla sucks without trying it properly.

 

Whoa, here we go again -- Joomla vs. Drupal

 

No, this is not joomla vs. drupal flame.

I'm just trying to point out that judging any CMS after two hours of setting up is a nonsense.

 

What I am trying to say is that Drupal is much easier to get started and has less of a learning curve

 

i try on joomla and give up cause is too complicated .... but i just purchase a joomla book from Amazon (two day ago) and will give it a try when the book arrived ...
for the moment i use wordpress with magazine theme )

 

Joomla definitely isn't for the faint of heart, but that doesn't make it "bad", its actually really powerful if you can get a grasp on it.

 

Joomla is.... Amazing for me but it didn't start that way. Once you understand the cells you have it made.

 

I will throw my 2 cents in. I run at this point about 70 sites on Joomla. At first I had difficulty and like anythign there is a learning curve. I don't want to say I have mastered Joomla but I no longer need help in building great sites. I could never get into Drupal or other CMS's. I can only tell you that Joomla offers a lot but you need to commit yourself to understanding the simple framework for content. Simple things like:

All content starts in Sections, then all sections have categories, all your content belongs to a certain category. Menus are very easy once you learn where the normal 4 go. I have taught many people how to use Joomla very quickly. Don't give up, I promise the end result is beyond worth it.

 

You said it best.. Amen

 

jup, Joomla is great. It's like a video game, put some effort in it, the better you become.
