 Site Administrators - Simplicity & Control

At first glance, you will appreciate user interface improvements. The Joomla! 1.5 Administrator is more refined and the main menu simplified.The global configuration was substantially reworked for simpler presentation and greater control. [9] An important improvement for our international community is having Joomla!'s entire Administrator available in one's own language using language packs made available at joomlacode.org.

Joomla! administrators will find a number of improvements in ease of site management. A single installer is available for all extension types, including languages. [5]  The media manager is improved visually and functionally. Images, documents, presentations, and more, can now be stored. Other improvements include multi-delete capability, batch file uploads, and an ability to view media in icon and list formats. [4]

The core article manager is simpler.[6] Gone are dual editor areas from Joomla! 1.0. Now, a single editor with a "Read More" button for separating the introduction from the full article, supports a more natural writing process.[8] A very popular improvement is Joomla!'s new image manager enabling you to browse media folders to select and insert images directly into your article as you write. [7]There is also more control of article pagination than before.  

The complexity of choices and steps in the menu manager for Joomla! 1.0 have been completely redesigned for 1.5 in favor of simplicity and elegance.[1] Usability improvements, such as the ability now to change the menu type[3], make changing your site much simpler. Any menu item can now be used to designate the default page. Selecting menu types is now an elegant drill down process supported by a new navigation tree; collapsible parameter sections simplify choices and increase productivity. Other helpful interface improvements include contextual tooltips and the ability to sort any menu manager column. [2]

One of the more significant functional improvements are search engine friendly URLs, easily implemented within the global configuration. With SEF URLs in place, system generated duplicate content is eliminated, greatly improving site search engine optimization.
