Hey everyone again! I'm gonna try to make this a short but complete tutorial. Hopefully u already familiar with CMS - content managment systems, or maybe you aren't but theres alot of tutorials on that too i'm sure. i'll cover a few extra steps tho...
-we are going to be using JOOMLA! 1.0.x
-u can down load it free at
official web site and install it on your hosting server that supports php and mysql
OR-u can get a free webhosting account here:
http://www.000webhost.com/ i created another article about it
here. But u should see for ur self that u WONT find even simmular deal on hosting! i mean FREE, NO ADDS, PHP, MYSQL, Cpanel, Autoinstaller??
anyways, create account,
create a ur first sites name (u can register unlimited amount of websites in a format of: http://name.net[two numbers].net
sample: http://allshine.net63.net http://nwd.net23.net
go to ftp dirrectory and delete default.php file
go to cpanel
click on Autoinstaller
Click install JOOMLA 1.0.x
wait for 1-2 min for the installation to complete
type in the address of ur site
bam! u see ur front page with all the news and menus and every link in a menu is actually linking u to the working page?! well if u did everything right than it will
if not PM me ill try to help.
ok now click Administrator link on that page
log in with credentials u made when u installed joomla
ok ur in? sweet, now go to the drop down menu on top and click:
system>> system info>> permissions [down below one of the 3 tabs]
so now u want to make sure that all of those dirrectories are WRITABLE !
to do so go to cpanel>> filemanager>> [now select all of those folders, which is most of them
and click CHMOD]
u want change ur chmod to rwxrw-rw or even 777 (PLEASE MAKE SURE U CHANGE PERMISSIONS BACK WHEN U DONE CONFIGURING!!! *security issue*)
so now check the system>> system info>> permissions page and make sure it worked (press f5 to refresh)
im going to assume it did
now go to http://extensions.joomla.org/ and search jSMS or here is official page w/ instructions:

>go back to joomla backend >topmenu dropdown "installers"> components> choose file> [com_SMS.1.3.zip]> install! if u changed the permissions right u will see "sucess"
>now repeat the last step but now u'll be installing a module [mod_****.zip] sucess? hope so, cool..
well ur pretty much done, u can go to modules> site modules> Text SMS Subscription > make sure its published (try left or right positions, and display on all pages till u figure out where its going to be positioned.
