      Land Development is a large category and much of Steve's experience through the 90's and early 2000’s, during the development boom (the real estate bubble as it was called by some) was devoted to the land development category.

      ---

      Working closely with Land Planners, he helped many large developers gain entitlement approvals. Then he and his teams, most often lead by the developer, which often included Civil Engineers, Surveyors, Mappers, Hydrology and Hydraulic Engineers, Dry Utility Consultants, Lighting Consultants, and the like, refined the concepts in the design development process. The construction document phases followed swiftly and effectively and the plans gained the necessary approvals from the local agencies. Construction of some of these projects lasted years, while others lasted only months. Steve still considers this ne of the most challenging, and rewarding, areas of landscape architecture because of its inherent complexity.

  • Extensions

    Article Count: 0

    The Joomla! content management system lets you create webpages of various types using extensions. There are 5 basic types of extensions: components, modules, templates, languages, and plugins. Your website includes the extensions you need to create a basic website in English, but thousands of additional extensions of all types are available. The Joomla! Extensions Directory is the largest directory of Joomla extensions.

    • Components

      Article Count: 7

      Components are larger extensions that produce the major content for your site. Each component has one or more "views" that control how content is displayed. In the Joomla administrator there are additional extensions such as Menus, Redirection, and the extension managers.

    • Modules

      Article Count: 0

      Modules are small blocks of content that can be displayed in positions on a web page. The menus on this site are displayed in modules. The core of Joomla! includes 24 separate modules ranging from login to search to random images. Each module has a name that starts mod_ but when it displays it has a title. In the descriptions in this section, the titles are the same as the names.

      • Content Modules

        Content modules display article and other information from the content component.

      • Display Modules

        Article Count: 6

        These modules display information from components other than content and user. These include weblinks, news feeds and the media manager.

      • Navigation Modules

        Article Count: 2

        Navigation modules help your visitors move through your site and find what they need.

        Menus provide your site with structure and help your visitors navigate your site.  Although they are all based on the same menu module, the variety of ways menus are used in the sample data show how flexible this module is.

        A menu can range from extremely simple (for example the top menu or the menu for the Australian Parks sample site) to extremely complex (for example the About Joomla! menu with its many levels). They can also be used for other types of presentation such as the site map linked from the "This Site" menu.

        Breadcrumbs provide users with information about where they are in a site.

    • Templates

      Article Count: 1

      Templates give your site its look and feel. They determine layout, colours, typefaces, graphics and other aspects of design that make your site unique. Your installation of Joomla comes prepackaged with three front end templates and two backend templates. Help

    • Plugins

      Article Count: 9

      Plugins are small task oriented extensions that enhance the Joomla! framework. Some are associated with particular extensions and others, such as editors, are used across all of Joomla. Most beginning users do not need to change any of the plugins that install with Joomla. Help

  • Park Blog

    Article Count: 2

    Here is where I will blog all about the parks of Australia.

    You can make a blog on your website by creating a category to write your blog posts in (this one is called Park Blog). Each blog post will be an article in that category. If you make a category blog menu link with 1 column it will look like this page, if you display the category description then this part is displayed.

    To enhance your blog you may want to add extensions for comments, interacting with social network sites, tagging, and keeping in contact with your readers. You can also enable the syndication that is included in Joomla (in the Integration Options set Show Feed Link to Show and make sure to display the syndication module on the page).

    These are my photos from parks I have visited (I didn't take them, they are all from Wikimedia Commons).

    This shows you how to make a simple image gallery using articles in com_content.

    In each article put a thumbnail image before a "readmore" and the full size image after it. Set the article to Show Intro Text: Hide.

    Article Count: 2

    We search the whole countryside for the best fruit growers.

    You can let each supplier have a page that he or she can edit. To see this in action you will need to create a user who is in the suppliers group.  

    Create one page in the growers category for that user and make that supplier the author of the page. That user will be able to edit his or her page.

    This illustrates the use of the Edit Own permission.
