SEBLOD is a free software released under the GNU General Public License.

It can be installed & used on an unlimited number of domains. There is no limitation.

All future versions of SEBLOD will remain free.

SEBLOD 3.x is compatible with both Joomla! 2.5 & Joomla! 3.x

Joomla has more CCK extensions than craters on the moon. So.. what’s different about SEBLOD and how does it stand out?

Flexibility, integration and options. SEBLOD doesn’t stop at simply giving you the ability to create a few content types and custom fields. It does that, but it allows you to take control of all of Joomla’s options and use precisely what you need and leave out what you don’t. It also offers a powerful and user filterable search feature, as well as many new tools and options for creating interactive applications, multi-site, multi-lingual sites and more.

Theming is a breeze, with a drag and drop position system and template parameters, position variations, and the position override system for those who need further control.

Best of all, SEBLOD does all of this while integrating seamlessly with the Joomla! core. That means most 3rd party extensions will be compatible, and no entirely new interfaces for managing content are necessary.

Seblod 3.x works with Joomla! 2.5 or 3.0.

Seblod shares all of the same system requirements as Joomla, however Php 5.3 or above is required.

You could, but it’s probably not a good idea. As with any time you add substantial functionality to your site, it is always recommended to first try in a testing environment. Once everything checks out as you like, then make a full back up of your production site before moving it over. At a minimum, it’s always wise to at least make a backup before adding components or making substantial changes.
Many creative and professional sites are based on SEBLOD. For now there is a post on the old forum where users have shared some of their SEBLOD creations but a showcase is coming soon.
Once you install SEBLOD, by default all new content you create using the normal Joomla interface will be associated with SEBLOD. However, existing content will not be assigned a SEBLOD content type until you open it and save it at least once. After you’ve done that, it will be assigned the Article type which you can then extend and customize in the SEBLOD Forms & Content type Manager.
Content types are groups of common fields and their data, as well as options like show article title or date, send an email on submission, etc. Out of the box, Joomla has a limited number of content types. SEBLOD lets you extend Joomla’s core content types like Article, Category and User and/or create your own.
For example, you might have one content type for a blog posting with a title field, date, author, intro/full text, blog image. So far that’s pretty similar to what standard Joomla offers. But maybe as the admin you could hide many of the options that the person adding the blog post doesn’t need or should have access to such as category (you could assign a default), show title, show created date, etc. SEBLOD allows you to completely customize you forms exactly the way you want!
You could also create custom fields for your content types that are individually searchable, easy to fill in, and themable. A product for example could have fields for a title, description, image gallery, price, color, size, weight, etc. or a testimonial type could have fields for name, company, phone number, years known and testimonial text.
