What checks and planning did you do?Īt the beginning of the year, I like to take stock of what I have done in the previous year and set a series of goals to meet them in the new year.įor this year, 2021, the main goal was to have everything ready to make the migration and design change when the stable version of Joomla 4 was released. With the release of Joomla 4, I set myself the goal of migrating the website and a complete redesign by developing a new template (this time based on Bootstrap 5).Īs for third party extensions, the truth is that I used very few, almost more focused on management than on content presentation: JCE, Akeeba Backup, jComments and a little more. The website had a custom template based on Bootstrap 3 that I had used for a long time. I have my portfolio and a blog, where I try to write every week about our favourite content management system: tutorials, recommendations, tips. I introduce myself as a web developer and offer my services. Tell us a bit of the site you migrated: what it is about, what kind of template it had, third party extensions, etc.Īs I mentioned before, the website that I have migrated is mine. This way, you always have a controlled view of the steps to follow in the migration. In the end, to go deeper into it, you have to get down to work, and I decided to migrate the website that I know the most of all the ones I have developed and maintained, which is my own website. So, as soon as I had time, I started to analyse the first releases to see what this awaited Joomla version had to offer. We always have to be up to date with the latest features we want to implement in our projects. Why did you decide to migrate to Joomla 4? We use Joomla as a CMS in 90% of the cases. Almost all my work is focused on developing and maintaining web projects related to the SEC. I'm from Fuentesaúco (a town in Zamora, Spain), although I live in Madrid, where I work as Front end & Back end Developer in the Spanish Society of Cardiology (SEC). Could you tell us a little more about yourself?įor those who don't know me, my name is Sergio Iglesias. Thanks, Sergio, for joining us in this interview. In this issue, Sergio Iglesias, one of the organizers of JoomlaDay Madrid, tells us how he made his first migration to Joomla 4. A couple of months after the release of Joomla 4, some of us already have experiences with the migration of sites created with previous versions.
