I'm to begin experimenting building websites with Joomla! CMS and just wanted to ask some questions. I've already installed the 1.5 version and I got used to the new enviroment. I know to create categories, sections, articles, manage menus, users, etc... Now let's say I have a website about PC tech and I want to add articles in the "Graphics Card Reviews" category.
1) I want to have a sector in the CMS where I can upload my Graphics Card Manufacture Companies (Ati, nVidia, Gigabyte, Asus, etc).
2) I want to add a drop-down menu when I want to add an article in the Graphics Card Reviews category, where I'll be able to choose the said Companies. I know to write the PHP code, but well... I don't know where!
3) Can I configure somehow the Article Manager, so I can add a new link to have the specific "Graphics Card Reviews Add Article" and not having the dropdown menu, to every article I add, no matter what category it is.
4) Generally how can I alter the articles by adding new content, such as input fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, forms, etc affecting my database.
Sorry for the long post
