Three newbie questions wihtout forum answers... - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

-

hey there,

new joomla--

would convert series of small static sites joomla. of these sites have "updates" page contains news updates handled old cgi, remainder of site purely static blog/user/contributor stuff go largely unused.

what trying figure out is:

1) best practice sectioning/categorizing (or not) static content?

2) how create top-level menu item not link anything, has second-level entries do?

3) best way handle "configuration.php" permissions/access problem?

a: chown apache
b: engage ftp
c: other solution

existing answers question 3 not complete/best practice solutions.

i have complete control of box.

welcome joomla!

1) best practice sectioning/categorizing (or not) static content?

you can leave content uncategorised if there aren't many pages or if you're not going make use of category blog or section blog layouts etc. or choose categorise merely ease of wading through content if there lot of it, or might lot in future. other reason might want categorise (or organise menus if nothing else) seo purposes if using sef urls create nicer looking url (ie http://www.mysite.com/mycategory/newitem.html)

2) how create top-level menu item not link anything, has second-level entries do?

create menu link , choose external link layout type, enter # link (so page links itself). way still act link not go anywhere.

3) best way handle "configuration.php" permissions/access problem?

depends on exact nature of problem talking about.
