Test Your Joomla 1. 5 even when the website is Offline

There are times during website development when you as a developer need to make changes to your website. Uploading the entire or even part of the website is not an easy task. Joomla 1.5, like its prior versions provides you the facility to test your website for all running scripts and codes even when it is offline.

Website developments as become a tradition for every other computer guys out in the common. The advent of Joomla made it faster and simpler and now the Joomla 1.5 has made it even easier. This stable release of Joomla has all features in store for its users. One feature I am highlighting here today is to test your website even when it is offline.

Many web development program, instead shall I say all development programs, and offer a feature where you can view any page in a browser window to have an idea how it will perform when online. Then what does Joomla 1.5 gives you new? This feature is already available to the developers. Even the most simples programs like Microsoft FrontPage comes with this feature built in. Although these features have been available since long, but Joomla 1.5 has revolutionized it a bit more.

It was not earlier possible to 100% predict how the webpage will look once it is online. There are many external scripts that don’t work even in the browser preview window. However in Joomla 1.5 you get an exact image of how your website would function online and can thus easily make amendments or additions to your website.

To do this all you have to do is, while making backend changes you will have to log in to the site URL you wish to use and preview the live changes. You can test it at that time as well. As for the other users browsing the website will get a message that the website is temporarily down for maintenance, thus you can ensure 100% working and apt running of your website by testing it online before your users visit it and find bugs. The only thing to take care of while doing this that, you must have two windows or tabs running under the same browser session. This wont be possible if you use two different browsers for each tab. Best of Luck with your testing!
