hi jeyaseelan

At First user have to download the joomla package for the site Joomla! then the user have to unzip that package in the server. Then the user have to access that package through the browser like <p>http://localhost/joomla/</p> that package ask some configuration details for our site. After fillup all the configuration detail the package ask the user to rename the installation folder to no acesses that folder. After rename that folder our site will lauched. Then we can access our site using the url <p>http://localhost/joomla/</p>

Thanks

hi jey

yes you need to install your own template, component and module in server to view your website. All the three items can install through the admin panel. The admin has all control to dynamically change the template or modules and admin can install and uninstall all the three items

Falcon

hi jey

When you are installing a template or component or module XML Page must be important otherwise joomla wont accept your template or component or module to install. You have to mention the filenames and also you have to mention that what you are going install template or component or module and its name in that XML Page

Hi Pugalanthi

For registration, We have to get the password from the input field then we have to create a salt(key) in 16 digit value dynamically then encrypt the password using that salt(key), then concatenate that encrypted password and salt(key), then inserted into your table, for example

$vPassword=$_POST['txtPassword'];
$salt = mosMakePassword(16);
$crypt = md5($vPassword.$salt);
$vPassword = $crypt.':'.$salt;

For Login, Get the username or userid fetch the password from the user table split the password into two part using explode and List function take the salt(key) value for that splited data then encrypted that given password using that salt(key). Check the ecncrypted given password and splited password or equal if its not equal send the error message invalid password. use the same concept for change password also, Example for login password check

$vUsername=$_POST['txtUsername'];
$vPassword=$_POST['txtPassword'];

$vSql="select password from #__users where username = "$vUsername;
$database->setQuery($vSql);
$database->loadObject($vRow)

list($hash, $salt) = explode(':', $row->password);
$cryptpass = md5($vPassword.$salt);
$check = strcmp($hash,$cryptpass);

if($check != 0)
{
echo "Invalid Password";
}
