more flexible module assignment
It would be sensible to allow the assignment of modules at or underneath a certain menu item (either including or excluding the menu item). If provided, you don't need to investigate and reconfigure the modules when creating a new sub-Menuitem. This feature is important for large sites (>200 Menu-items)
Additionally the menu assignment should be done by means of an expandable tree - currently the list takes severall pages with a scollbar. Moreover, since there are 2-columns, you is not clear where the menu to be assigned is located.27 votes -
Better RSS Feed management
Currently the frontpage has its own RSS Feed, and other feeds can be added to single pages with the RSS module.
What about a better RSS feed management and creation, like Ninja RSS feed? I mean, If I want to publish a feed of all articles published on the site, now I only have the choice to publish all articles on the frontpage...
Add a way to create RSS Feeds with choice of what to publish in each feed.27 votes -
Articles should have a page title tag setting in its options and be set in the article not the menu
One of the major missing feature is the ability to set a title tag for a joomla article. You can set it by using a menu item but this can bit a nightmare to manage.
For an article, what should happen is you set all SEO data including the page title tag, robots info and all other required data for SEO meta kyewords (using mainly internally now), meta description and ability to add custom meta information. If the information is not filled in the default info can be used like now (globally setting here would be useful ie use article…

CCK in core
It is important to have this feature so users don't have to be dependent on third party CCK components and if they get updated or not. Most websites today depend on more than just a TITLE and BODY article (Content Item/Node). In addition, CCK in the core has been aaopted by Drupal 7...Why not Joomla. Thank you all.

Custom Database Relation Model
A plugin or tool that will allow Joomla users develop their own business data models according to their business rules. This should allow the creation of custom tables and perform basic database interaction queries on the fly like view, update, edit, etc... or based on custom sql

Hardcoded module dependency (mod_custom)
Why is the editor for the module "mod_custom" with a hard-coded condition included?
Adminstrator/components/com_modules/views/module/tmpl/edit.php (Joomla 1.6.1)
17: $hasContent = empty($this->item->module) | $ This-> item-> module == 'custom' | $ This-> item-> module == 'mod_custom';
I think it would be a good idea to control this content editor of a parameter in an XML file of own modules.

featured finished publishing date

Authentication Bridge to Apache htuser and htgroups
It's possible to direct access via URL the pictures ore downloads you place in a Joomla closed area for people with no Joomla account. This, for me, is some kind of security bug.
To avoid this, you normaly use Apaches htacces and htuser, htgroups files so that direct access via URL needs Login into Apache as a htuser.
It would be a great idea, to have a synchronisation between Apache htusers and groups with Joomla users and groups and to implement a single sign on (SSO) for this users.
