Being a member of CodeCall for a while now, I have been wondering: what exactly is this "Joomla"? No-one has ever told me. And what's "ionFiles"?
What is Joomla?

Joomla is a CMS (Content Management System) and ionFiles is a download component built by CodeCall members for that CMS.
I'm also moving this to the correct forum.

A CMS allows the adminstrator to add blog like content to the site, edit menus, and edit pieces of text displayed from an admin panel. Leaving no need to open up a HTML file every time a change is necessary. This is just my personal definition of CMS because these are the ways I use it on my site. I hear that they do other things though like run polls and stuff.

I believe CodeCall simply uses vBulletin, but I could be wrong.

Our forum is built on vBulletin; our homepage (CodeCall Programming) uses Joomla.

We've managed to fuse the two so they share users, content and more.

Very clever! How about all the forums and all that? How do you store the users/posts?
In a MySQL database.

I'm not sure what file i/o has to do with connecting to a database? Even so, most server-sided scripting languages such as PHP/ASP/Ruby/Perl have the ability to modify files on the file system.
