Article Text

This is where you enter the contents of the article. The editor you use depends on the settings for your site and your user. Joomla core includes three editor options: TinyMCE (the default), Code Mirror, and No Editor.

Editor Buttons

Eight buttons are located at the bottom row of the editor toolbar and one below the content, as shown below:

Help35-Module-Article-Image-Pagebreak-Readmore-buttons-en.png

Module: This button opens a modal window that allows you to easily create a link to any module on the current site. The link is created using the module's title as the link text.

To create a link to the desired article:

  • Place the cursor at the point in the article where you want the linked article title to be inserted.
  • Click on the Article button to open the modal window.

  • A link with the article's title will be inserted at the current cursor location.
  • If needed, you can edit the link text.

Image. This button provides an easy way to insert an image into an Article. Images may be inserted from the 'images' folder and may also be uploaded. When you click the Image button, a window pops up, as shown below:

Help30-editor-image-button-en.png
  • Folder. The current directory on the host server. This is the 'images' directory under your Joomla! home directory. Use the drop-down list box to select a subdirectory.
  • Up. Navigate to the parent directory. Note that the top directory for this function is 'images'. You can not navigate to a higher directory.
  • Insert. Insert the selected image. The insert point will be the current cursor position. You will see the image display inside the edit window.
  • Cancel. Cancel the operation and close the popup window. You can cancel also in clicking the X at right top corner.
  • Thumbnail Browse Area. Click on an image thumbnail to select the image. Click on a folder icon to navigate to that subdirectory.
  • Image URL. Click on one of the image thumbnails and the URL for the image will be entered for you.
  • Image Description. Enter a description for the image.
  • Caption. If entered, this will displayed as a caption below the image.
  • Image Float. This will apply the classes 'pull-left', 'pull-center' or 'pull-right' to the '<figure>' or '<img>' element.
  • Image Title. Enter a Title for this image. This displays when a User hovers the mouse on the image.
  • Caption Class. This will apply the entered class to the '<figcaption>' element. For example: 'text-left', 'text-center'.
  • Upload file. Click this button to browse to an image file to upload from your local computer. A file dialog will open allowing you to select a file.
  • Start Upload. Once you have selected a file, press this button to upload the file to your Joomla! 'images' folder. The thumbnail for the new image will now show in the thumbnail area.

Pagebreak. This button allows you to insert a pagebreak inside an Article. A pagebreak allows for page navigation when the article is displayed on a layout. This is useful for long articles. When this button is pressed, a popup window is displayed as shown below:

Help30-editor-pagebreak-button-en.png
  • Page Title. Enter the title to display for the new page (for example, 'Page 2').
  • Table of Contents Alias. Optional field to display in the table of contents for this page. In a multi-page article, Joomla! displays a 'table of contents' for the page that allows the user to select any page. If this field is blank, the Page Title will be used. If you want a different title in the table of contents, enter it here.
  • Insert Page Break. Click this button to insert the pagebreak with the entered fields. The Pagebreak will display as a gray dashed line across the Article. Note that a pagebreak cannot be edited. If you need to change a field in the pagebreak, click on the Article just past the pagebreak, press Backspace until the pagebreak is deleted, then insert a new pagebreak with the desired information.
Help30-Read-More-button-en.png
  • Read More. This button inserts a 'Read more...' break in the Article. This shows as a red dotted line across the Article. If an Article has a 'Read more...' break, only the text before the break, called the Intro Text, will initially display, along with a 'Read more...' link.
    If the User clicks this link, either the entire Article or just the part after the 'Read more...' link is displayed. This depends on the setting of the 'Intro Text' parameters for the Article and in the Global Configuration. The 'Read more...' break allows you to save space on pages by just showing the Intro Text.
    Note: The 'Read more...' break only shows in the Frontend, and Category Blog layouts. If you want to insert breaks for an Article shown in an Article Layout, use the Page Break button.
Help30-Toggle-Editor-button-en.png
  • Toggle editor. If you are using the TinyMCE editor, a Toggle editor button will show just below the edit window. This button allows you to toggle between the TinyMCE editor and No Editor.

  • Browser Page Title. Optional text for the "Browser page title" element. If blank, a default value is used based on the Menu Item Title.

Help30-Content-Article-Manager-Edit-Fields-options-subscreen-en.png

Publishing

Note: This tab can be hidden by users with Admin Permission for articles.

This section allows you to enter parameters and metadata for this Article. Metadata is information about the Article that is not displayed but is available to Search Engines and other systems to classify the Article. This gives you more control over how the content will be analyzed by these programs. All of these entries are optional. Metadata is shown inside HTML meta elements.

Help30-Content-Article-Manager-Edit-publishing-options-subscreen-en.png

These entries are optional. Joomla automatically creates default entries for these values.

  • Start Publishing. Date and time to start publishing. Use this field if you want to enter content ahead of time and then have it published automatically at a future time.
  • Finish Publishing. Date and time to finish publishing. Use this field if you want to have content automatically changed to Unpublished state at a future time (for example, when it is no longer applicable).
  • Created Date. This field defaults to the current time when the item was created. You can enter in a different date and time or click on the calendar icon to find the desired date.
  • Created By. Name of the Joomla User who created the item. This will default to the currently logged-in user. If you want to change this to a different user, click the 'Select User' button Help30-select-user-en.png.
  • Created by Alias. This optional field allows you to enter in an alias for this Author for this item. This allows you to display a different Author name for this item.
  • Modified Date. (Informative only) Date of last modification.
  • Modified By. (Informative only) Username who performed the last modification.
  • Revision. (Informative only) Number of revisions to this item.
  • Hits. The number of times an item has been viewed.
  • Meta Description. An optional paragraph to be used as the description of the page in the HTML output. This will generally display in the results of search engines. If entered, this creates an HTML meta element with a name attribute of "description" and a content attribute equal to the entered text.
  • Meta Keywords. Optional entry for keywords. Must be entered separated by commas (for example, "cats, dogs, pets") and may be entered in upper or lower case. (For example, "CATS" will match "cats" or "Cats"). Learn more about Meta Keywords.

  • Key Reference. Used to store information referring to an external resource.
  • Robots. The instructions for web "robots" that browse to this page.
    • Use Global: Use the value set in Global Configuration  Site  Metadata Settings.
    • index, follow: Index this page and follow the links on this page.
    • noindex, follow: Do not index this page, but still follow the links on the page. For example, you might do this for a site map page where you want the links to be indexed but you don't want this page to show in search engines.
    • index, nofollow: Index this page, but do not follow any links on the page. For example, you might want to do this for an events calendar, where you want the page to show in search engines but you do not want to index each event.
    • noindex, nofollow: Do not index this page or follow any links on the page.
  • Author. Optional entry for an Author name within the metadata. If entered, this creates an HTML meta element with the name attribute of "author" and the content attribute as entered here.
  • Content Rights. Describe what rights others have to use this content.
  • External Reference. An optional reference used to link to external data sources. If entered, this creates an HTML meta element with a name attribute of "xreference" and a content attribute equal to the entered text.

Configure Edit Screen

Note: This tab by default is only visible to those with Admin permissions for the Article Manager permissions.

Help30-screenshot-article-edit-configure-edit-screen-en.png

On some installations you may need to save the Content Options in order for these options to work.

  • Show Publishing Options. (Use Global/No/Yes). If No, the Publishing Options tab in this screen (Article Manager: Add/Edit Screen) will not show. This means that back-end users will not be able to edit the fields Created by, Created by alias, Created Date, Start Publishing, or Finish Publishing. These fields will always be set to their default values.
  • Show Article Options. (Use Global/No/Yes). If No, the Article Options tab in this screen (Article Manager: Add/Edit Screen) will not show. This means that back-end users will not be able to edit the fields in this tab. These fields will always be set to their default values.
  • Administrator Images and Links. (Use Global/No/Yes). If Yes, the Images and Links will show in this screen (Article Manager: Add/Edit Screen).
  • Frontend Images and Links. (Use Global/No/Yes). If Yes, the Images and Links fields will show in the Front End article editor screen. These fields allow users to optionally enter two images and three links in an easy-to-use form in the front end. When used with a single-article override, this can allow the site administrator to create a simple form for users to create standard article layouts.

Permissions

Joomla lets you set permissions for articles at four levels, as follows.

  1. Globally, using Global Configuration.
  2. For all articles, using Article Manager→Options.
  3. For all articles in a category, using Category Manager.
  4. For an individual article, using this screen.

This is where you can enter permissions for this one article. The screen shows as follows.

Help30-screenshot-article-edit-permissions-en.png

To change the permissions for this article, do the following.

  1. Select the Group by clicking its title.
  2. Find the desired Action. Possible Actions are:
    Delete. Users can delete this article.
    Edit. Users can edit this article.
    Edit State. User can change the published state and related information for this article.
  3. Select the desired permission for the action you wish to change. Possible settings are:
    Inherited. Inherited for users in this Group from the Global Configuration, Article Manager Options, or Category permissions.
    Allowed. Allowed for users in this Group. Note that, if this action is Denied at one of the higher levels, the Allowed permission here will not take effect. A Denied setting cannot be overridden.
    Denied. Denied for users in this Group.
  4. Click Save. When the screen refreshes, the Calculated Setting column will show the effective permission for this Group and Action.

Editors

TinyMCE

TinyMCE is the default editor for both Frontend and Backend users. TinyMCE is a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor that allows users a familiar word-processing interface to use when editing Articles and other content.

TinyMCE can be configured with 3 different sets of toolbar buttons

  • Set 2 is assigned to 'Public'.
  • Set 1 is assigned to the 'Manager' and 'Registered'.
  • Set 0 is the most extended toolbar and is by default assigned to the 'Administrator', 'Editor' and 'Super Users'.
Help30-editor-tinymce-advanced-en.png

Learn about Toolbars, Editor Buttons and Accessibility of TinyMCE.

Code Mirror

The CodeMirror editor is designed to make it easy to enter HTML code in an article or description. CodeMirror supports syntax highlighting and auto-completion, as shown in this screenshot.

Help25-screenshot-editor-codemirror-example-en.png

CodeMirror offers some of the same advantages of using No Editor, but makes it somewhat easier to work with raw HTML code.

To set options: CodeMirror Editor Plugin

No Editor

If 'No editor' is selected for a User, then a simple text editor displays. This allows you to enter in raw, unformatted HTML. You can use the toolbar 'Preview' button to preview how the HTML will display.

Note that the 'No Editor' option can be useful if you are entering in 'boilerplate' or custom HTML, for example to create a PayPal link. TinyMCE automatically re-formats and strips some HTML when a file is saved. This can cause complex HTML to not work correctly.

If this happens, you can temporarily change the editor to 'No Editor' and create the desired content. Note that if you wish to edit this content in the future, you should be careful to change your editor to 'No Editor'. Otherwise, if you open and save the content with TinyMCE, you may lose your custom HTML.

Toolbar

At the top you will see the toolbar:

Help32-Save-SaveClose-SaveNew-SaveAsCopy-Version-Close-toolbar-en.png

The functions are:

  • Save. Saves the article and stays in the current screen.
  • Save & Close. Saves the article and closes the current screen.
  • Save & New. Saves the article and keeps the editing screen open and ready to create another article.
  • Save as Copy. Saves your changes to a copy of the current article. Does not affect the current article.
    Note: This toolbar icon is only shown if you edit an existing article.
  • Versions. Opens the article Version History window to show any prior versions of this item. This allows you to view older versions of this item and, if desired, restore from an older version. Learn more about Version History.
  • Close. Closes the current screen and returns to the previous screen without saving any modifications you may have made.
  • Help. Opens this help screen.

Note: Add New Article does not have the Save as Copy or Versions toolbar buttons.

Quick Tips

  • The hierarchy of display parameters is as follows:
  1. Parameters - Advanced for the specific Article. A setting other than 'Use Global' here always controls the setting.
  2. Parameters - Component for the Menu Item. If the Parameters - Advanced above is 'Use Global' and this setting is not 'Use Global', then this controls the setting.
  3. Global Configuration settings in the Article Manager/Parameters section. Settings here only apply if both of the above are set to 'Use Global'.
Example: The 'Title Linkable' setting in the Article's 'Parameters - Advanced' section is set to 'Use Global'. The Menu Item is an Article Layout, and 'Title Linkable' in the 'Parameters - Component' is 'No'. The Global Configuration 'Title Linkable' is set to 'Yes'. The result will be 'Yes', since the Menu Item overrides the Global Configuration.
  • You can add images using either the TinyMCE Insert/Edit Image icon or the Image button. For adding new images in an Article, it is easier to use the Image button. This is because it lets you browse to the image file and also lets you upload images. However, for editing an existing image, you need to use the TinyMCE icon. The Image button only supports adding new images.
  • 'Read more...' breaks allow you to save space on the Front Page or on any blog layout page by showing just the first portion of an Article. 'Pagebreaks' allow you to provide multi-page navigation for long Articles. You can use both on one Article, if desired. For example, you could put a 'Read more...' break after the first paragraph of a multi-page article, and have Pagebreaks after each page. No page navigation would display on the Front Page until the User selects the 'Read more...' link. At that time, the Article's table of contents would display showing links to every page.
  • You can insert a Joomla! Module inside an Article by typing "{loadposition xxx}", where "xxx" is the position entered for the desired Module. Note that the position name must not conflict with a position used by your Joomla! template. It can be any name (e.g., "mymoduleposition1") as long as it matches the position name typed in for the Module. The Menu Assignment for the Module must include the Menu Item where the Article is displayed, and the Plugin called "Content - Load Module" must be enabled (which it is by default). This feature allows you, for example, to insert a Custom HTML Module anywhere in an Article.
