A list of Joomla1.5 core links

Written by Marco Conti Tuesday, 07 April 2009 12:35

I created a list of Joomla core links that should make it easier, among other things, to work on a live site with SEF URLs turned on. The list is not complete yet and it may be repetitive at times, but I find it very useful.

While I was at it, I included some of the internal administrative links. Lately I have had to use them when a site's admin menu no nonger worked and my list was the only way I had to reach some areas of the administration until I could fix the site.

The links below can come in handy in a variety of situations:
Changing the core modules link (as I did when I created a login module for Jomsocial)
Inserting a login link in the infamous "you are not authorized to view this resource" page (hint: look in the language files for the text)
To place a link in an article when using SEF URLs. The benefits of the core links in Joomla is that they never change while the SEF links do.

Here are some of the links I compiled.
