joomla - how can I create new content types in joomla

I'm new to joomla. I have been using Drupal for quite some time.

I would like to created new content types for news and announcements. How may I accomplish creating new content type in Joomla without installing a new module.

Solution

  • You're coming from Drupal so I am thinking that what you're looking for and cannot find in Joomla is something like CCK (Content Construction Kit)

    Unfortunately this is not available by default in Joomla. You have to use extensions to create new types of content that contain specific fields.

    Best free CCKs available for Joomla :

    1. Form2Content (my favorite)
    2. K2 (most popular, highly recommended)
