Glossary

AKA Also known as
 
CMS
 
Content Management System. A content management system, in the Jomres context, is a software application designed to simplify the publication of web content to web sites and mobile devices — in particular, allowing content creators to submit content without requiring technical knowledge of HTML or the uploading of files. Whilst Jomres is designed to be CMS agnostic, it's main focus is the Joomla content management system.
 
CMS Agnostic.
 
Jomres is coded in such a way that it is possible for third parties to write software that allow it to be integrated with CMSs other than it's main CMS, which is Joomla. Because it is designed to be self contained, and use as little of the host CMS's framework as possible, we describe it as CMS agnostic.
 
It can also refer to Jomres plugins that don't depend on a particular CMS to function (Also known as Internal plugins).
 
CMS Specific.
 
This term generally refers to plugins that are designed to use Jomres in conjunction with a specific CMS, eg Joomla.
 
Discover
 
Joomla includes a feature whereby plugins can be installed by means other than simply it's own installer. Once a plugin has been installed via the Jomres plugin manager you can go to Joomla's installation manager, click Discover then click Discover again in the manager's toolbar. This will find any plugins that can be installed and will install them for you.
 
This is only relevant to Jomres plugins that are specific to Joomla. At the time of writing those plugings are jomres_asamodule, jomres_booking_form_in_content, jomres_language_plugin_bot, jomres_ngm_popular, jomres_ngm_random, jomres_ngm_recently_viewed, jomres_selfregister and jomsearch_m1/m2/m3/4.
 
MOST Jomres plugins do not require that you use the Joomla discover feature.
 
 
MRP.
 
Multi-room property. Businesses like hotels, guest houses and bed and breakfasts that rent out rooms in a property.
 
Property Manager.
 
Also known (depending on the language context selected by the site manager) as a Business Manager, Boatyard Manager or other similar phrases.
 
Site Administrator/Manager.
 
This is typically the individual or group tasked with maintaining the system so that it can be used by Property Manager's who are listing their businesses/properties
 
SRP.
 
Single room property. Cottages, villas, apartments. Jomres uses the same mechanism to book these out as for MRPs by having one invisible (to the user) room, therefore these are collectively known as SRPs.
 
Support Key
 
When you purchase Jomres Silver or Jomres Gold you will be given a license number, which you can access through the license server. If the number is valid (i.e. has not expired) then you will be able to download plugins from the Jomres Plugin Manager.
