Looking for information about Joomla 1.7 ACL? How about Joomla 2.5 ACL? My new title, Joomla 1.7 Access Control Lists (ACL) In Depth, will likely work with Joomla 2.5 as well. Here are a few free videos to check out. You can subscribe to see the full title at lynda.com.

People are asking questions about how the upgrades from Joomla 1.5 to 1.6 are going for client sites. They're also debating whether to build sites in Joomla 1.5 or 1.6 as of this writing (February 2011).

Well, maybe explained is a strong term. But I do the best I can.

For my talk at Joomla Day NYC, here are my slides (PDF).

The two exercises will be based on my articles at community.joomla.org:

• Setting access levels to control who can read which content
• Setting permissions to control who can create/edit/delete content

Part 2 of my series of 3 articles on ACL in Joomla 1.6 is posted.

This one covers creating, editing, deleting, and editing state (i.e. publish/unpublish/trash) of your Joomla content; logging into the front or back end; managing; and being the admin for your Joomla site.

The article also covers what to do if you manage to lock yourself out of your Joomla admin entirely.

I wrote an article for community.joomla.org on the new access levels available in ACL in Joomla 1.6.

Thanks to AyudaJoomla for translating it to Spanish!

Later this week I'll be finishing an article on the editing, deleting, publishing, and management aspects of ACL.
