Web time schedule for content management system Joomla!

Scheduling software offers us significant advantages over the conventional manual assembly of a schedule. There are several different systems for management of content, so called CMSs. In this diploma thesis we are focusing on the Joomla! system. It is an open source content management system, it represents a powerful framework for building websites and it is one of the most powerful and most popular systems for content management in the world. In this thesis we offer a detailed presentation of the system Joomla! in the context of its functionality, its characteristics, types of extension and its variations. We also present the instructions for the installation of Joomla! and instructions for using EasyCreator tool, which is suitable of producing an extension of the system itself. With this tool we implemented the component JUrnik for web time schedule, which allows us to compose a timetable for the educational institutions. We considered the facts of a good and balanced schedule that allows us: subsequent adjustments of the schedule, preparation of informations about substituions in any past period, faster assembly of the schedule, almost complete removal of overlapping in the first phase of composing, an optimal allocation of departments in the classrooms, and avoiding the gaps in the schedule. The JUrnik component is also evaluated and tested against different users. This brings us to the conclusion that the web time component JUrnik is well developed
