The second one would be correct.

There is no such thing as a Joomla!  Turkiye Official Site. It would tend to cause confusion.

Re: The term Joomla! conference and Joomla!Day are protected

Trademarks are established by use and use only. Even a registered trademark is lost if you don't use it. Clearly the Joomla! trademark is in use to refer to a framework and content management system  in every geographic area of the world. Mod edit: removed attorney's name Yes, if you want to ha...

Phil, I'm really not going to get into it with you, but the Joomla! trademark registration application has not been turned down at all anywhere. You can go to the USPTO office and follow the application procedures and you will see that your statement is factually incorrect. The only registration app...

I disagree, because the newsflash already does that it the default installation. The point of this task is to show that the newsflash module doesn't have to be for only "news" or for a "flash." If can display jokes or proverbs or customer testimonials. To make it work you put all of the content that...

Re: How To Use The Newsflash Module To Display A Random Or Rotating Selection Of

I don't think it is making it complicated to change it to select the section and category that your content is in. Actually, having done this myself, I would say, the first step is to start by creating the content that you want to display into its own category. Can you log someone in to a joomla! si...

Hi Sam, Also well done. The one comment I would have is that the module will not necessarily show up on the right. This depends on which template is being used.  In step 7, instead of "now" I would put "for example."  You should also point out explicitly that the link can be internal or ex...

Re: How To Use The Newsflash Module To Display A Random Or Rotating Selection Of

Great Sam,

The one thing I would say is that you don;'t HAVE to use the News section or Newsflash category. You can use any section/category combination that you want.  This way, you can  have different copies of the module displaying content from different caegoeries.
