Project Overview: Revamping the ACM Site with Joomla

Our project aimed to improve the Old ACM site by transitioning to Joomla! 1.5 after initial compatibility issues with Joomla! 1.6. With Mr. Meade’s approval, we sourced a new template, maximizing available plugins and resolving various access permission problems through a shell script. Key features include a Gmail event calendar, categorized photo galleries, a game repository, and efficient article and file management systems. Despite some unmet requirements, future enhancements like a blog and forums are planned to keep the site dynamic.
