Welcome to JoomooWebsites.com, the home of Joomoo Extensions!

What are Joomoo Extensions? They are software packages that extend Joomla, which is a free, open source Content Management System (CMS).

  • With the exception of the Site Map, everything on this site is either Joomla or one of the Joomoo Extensions!

Joomoo Extensions offer:

  • Configurability - Joomoo extensions give administrators many options to set in joomla's back end
  • Compatibility - although Joomoo extensions use javascript and mootools, they provide basic functionality to users who have javascript disabled in their browser
  • Affordability - Joomoo Extensions are free!

Why call these "Joomoo extensions?" Well for one reason, it's fun to say! But the truth is, there's more it:

Joomoo extensions extend the Joomla Joomla Logo Content Management System and the MootoolsMootools Logo Javascript Library to provide webmasters with an integrated set of extensions to core joomla functionality that support basic Web 2.0 functions.

Adding one or more joomoo extensions to your joomla website can help make it more fun!

I originally wrote these extensions to support groja.com and seeourminds.com. Joomla Logo Those two sites are my "main" sites. They use the answers to a personality test to draw images, such as this one, of people's personalities.

I began thinking that these extensions are more generic, and could be useful to people other than me. So after investing a lot of work into these projects I decided, what the heck, why not give these away for free? After all, I am using plenty of free software, specifically Linux, Apache, My Sql, and PHP aka. LAMP, which is all free.

That, anyway, is the short answer. To learn more about why I decided to write each of these, instead of downloading an extension written by someone else that does essentially the same thing, click on Read more.
