Joomla Idea Pool

Welcome to the Joomla Idea Pool. Please add your suggestions here for future versions of Joomla and vote on current suggestions.

What features would you like to see in future versions of Joomla?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

      • Submit button for "New Idea"?

        The new idea button here should have a submit button. Right now it's confusing how how to submit a new idea.

                • Event date in articles

                  The possibility to assign an event start date and an event end date in an articles. Then a module with next events, one with calendar, etc. Of course these modules take data only from calendarized articles.
                  So we can have calendarized articles not in separate components.
                  (excuse me for my bad English)

                    • Clickable developer's URL

                      The developer's url should be clickable wherever the extension appears in the admin panel. In the extension itself & all lists. A popup is not sufficient. It needs to be a clickable link. URL preferred, but I guess a clickable email address would be okay.

                      • Keeping 1 backup of template and css in the database.

                        Sometimes i make a mistake and i copy paste edit then i paste the template code into the CSS file and save... what that means is i accidentally edit the css file thinking its the template index.php file. My suggestion is that to have this information stored in the database just as a backup, so it can be retreived at any time if the template and css file is removed.

                          • Menu assignment for Modules on a per menu basis.

                            I want the ability to assign a module to and entire menu not just individual menu items. This way when I add new items to that menu the module is automatically displayed.

                              • Add Seattle to Server Time-Zone Options

                                I would really love to see Seattle, WA added to the list of options for the server-time zone settings in the Joomla admin. I know of a lot of other Joomla website designers who would agree. It's a little confusing not to have a major city like Seattle making the list. Please consider!

                                • debug output for file access layer errors

                                  Various components and Joomla core components use the file access layer (libraries/joomla/filesystem). However if anything is wrong, the same non-descript message is shown: "File is not a folder"

                                  When debug output is turned on, messages from this subsystem should show more details, for example by formatting a debug backtrace in a suitable format. This would at least allow to determine the folder, file and/or component that causes the error

                                  • Simple article management in frontend for "publisher" users

                                    Article management is simple for users that have rights for backend login, but is a pain for users in frontend.
                                    Sure, publishers can open an article and choose to publish it, but Joomla lacks a way to notify a publisher the list of articles awaiting to be published. In my opninion Joomla needs two things:
                                    1. As option, when an article is created by a writer or an editor a mail should be sent to publishers/manager/administrators to notify that an article awaits approval.
                                    2. A module, or a component, available as a link in publishers profile that shows a list…

                                    • 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...
