      • offline/online contents workflow

        A project mechanism that provides an integrated workflow environment with Offline "staging" and Online "live" systems on the same server. All content is maintained in projects. The number of projects is unlimited. Changes to the contents can be reviewed, thoroughly tested and approved in the Offline "staging" project before the content is published. If changed content is to become "live", that is visible to the public, it is simply published to the Online view.

        Content managers that are not allowed to publish content can assemble a list of resources they have modified and perform a release action. Then a responsible…

        • Use a standardised language file format

          Joomla currently uses a language file format which is only used for Joomla and
          cannot be processed by other translation tools. Joomla translation files
          have grown quite large and translation tools would come really handy.

          If Joomla instead used a standardised format like XLIFF, the translation tools
          could be used on them rightaway.

            • Replace all Joomla icons (especially icons in Components -> Contacts) with Font Awesome

              Hi:

              Image icons in Joomla! are now outdated - especially those default Contact page icons in Components -> Contacts -> Options -> Icons.

              Joomla! 3 is using Bootstrap, so why not standardise on Font Awesome?

              • Migration of Mootools dependencies and tools to Jquery

                Actually we have a lot of stuff in joomla running under Mootools: user registration, forms validations, article submission, send mails and more...

                Switch to Jquery 2.0 would let a lot of fresh young developers to see Joomla to a really good and flexible cms to work with. In fact Jquery superiority in terms of community, ease, market share and convenience is indisputable.

                Also, Bootstrap and the best plugins out there are coded in Jquery, so there not going to need to overload sites with different frameworks, or no-conflict stuff.

                Anyway I think that this may be under review. Since joomla…

                • Show/Hide Article ID Switch

                  A control panel switch to show/hide the article ID in a URL. It's currently cumbersome to have to add articles to hidden menus in order to remove the id, for example (http://site.com/page1 is much better than http://site.com/27-page1). Will save lots of time for heavy users who do not wish to use custom SEF plugins.

                  • Joomla Eclipse plugin

                    It might be convenient to create a simple Eclipse plugin for Joomla! in order for developers to quickly start writing their extensions, without much hassle. Plugin would hopefully provide at least the following functionality:
                    - Create a new Joomla! component/module/plugin/template (generating the correct folder structure for views/models/tables/etc)
                    - Package the extension into an installation zip file, including of semi-auto generation of the install xml file
                    - Code completion (this actually will work already, thanks to PHP Development Tools plugin) with inline help (this will also work out-of-the-box thanks to Javadoc comments)
                    Optional features:
                    - Download the latest stable/testing version of…

                    • The ability to embed YouTube videos

                      YouTube is one of the world's biggest video sharing platforms, and if Joomla! runs on 2.8% of the internet, why can't we embed our videos into articles without an extra extension? I think this is a great idea!

                        • Admin - Extension Title on Browser's Title Bar

                          I usually work on more than 1 Joomla website at day, on each website, I often need to open several tabs of the admin interface.

                          e.g.

                          I need to have the menus open in one tab and the modules open on another, and maybe articles, I sometimes have 4-5 tabs of the same admin site opened.

                          All tabs currently read: SiteName - Administration, making it really difficult to identify which tab is the one you need to go next.

                          I really need the Extension Name in the beginning of the Tab Title rather than the site name. I can have…

                            • Set sort order/column of articles in article manager

                              Set sort order/column of articles in article manager. It would save a lot of time to have the option to sort articles in article manager by date created, category, etc as a DEFAULT instead of having to do it every time you login. Right now the default seems to be article title which is not ideal for me or my clients most of the time. Currently the sorting works fine, but it would be nice to have this stick instead of having to click date twice to see most recent articles at the top every time I login.

                              • Management of the contents in Joomla is not user-friendly.

                                Idea:
                                Management of the contents in Joomla is not user-friendly.
                                ID of the contents cannot be changed.
                                Articles need to be classified with a "Windows MY Computer" structure and view.
                                Manipulation, replacement, and other article / content management needs to be as user does the same in his desktop "My Computer" file management.

                                If these occur, then changing, migrating, ... will be very simple in addition to simple site building and management.

                                  • Integrating social login and commenting as part of the Joomla core.

                                    Can we have users gain the ability to use their social accounts (Twitter, Facebook, OpenID, etc.) to login to the Joomla frontend?

                                    Disqus is also quite a great commenting system - can we integrate this, too? Would help a lot...

                                      • Catch User information from another DB..

                                        In my case i have another app for the company where we save data from users in a mysql db.. (name, username, mails etc) would be great an option to (import) or better that joomla takes the user info info from an external DB. People can login as users and mass mail. and they can sign up from joomla as a second option but that catch the user info from joomla db..

                                        • extra fields and filter for articles

                                          Joomla articles should natively have extra fields possibility (text, radio, check box, list, select, file etc.) and ability to create powerful filter based on extra fields.

                                          Is this common sense funktionality ever gonna be in joomla?
