Advanced web hosting users ‘will rejoice at Joomla 1.6 release’

Advanced web hosting users who have opted for Joomla will be rejoicing once version 1.6 has been released as it is said to be a massive step forward for the project.

Writing for CMSWire, professional search engine optimisation and Joomla consultant Kristoffer Sandven reported that the new version of Joomla will have a significantly enhanced internal security system.

Administrators will be able to set up groups and assign content as well as functionality to them, he explained.

Mr Kristoffer gave the example of a group that can produce articles, weblinks and almost anything one can create on Joomla. By giving users in such a group global "create" permission, but not the "edit state" one, administrators can prevent them from publishing the content, he added.

Writing on the Joomla blog, Ron Severdia recently admitted that the organisation has not been particularly forthcoming with keeping its milestones for version 1.6. He said this is partly because they have been discussing various new features that could make their way onto the new Joomla system.
