Joomla basic questions, SQL and Logging in

[JohnBroome]

Hi All,

I am staring a new web site in Joomla for music session booking and web information on what is playing where.

My friend plays at many gigs and sees a need for it.

1. How do I create accounts for people so that they only see what they have access to see? I am reading Beginning Joomla by Dan Rahmel.

2. Can Joomla hold data in mySQL and run statements like select etc? Or call SQL and than have values passed back to it?


Cheers,

This is easily done via the admin control panel in the User management section. You can grant users all sorts of privileges including full admin access, content-writer access and various other levels.

Joomla stores all its data in MySQL yes, you don't have to worry about any of the SQL.
