Global default settings for menu types which display tags in different layouts and formats.

How to Access[edit]

  • Click the Global Configuration button in the Control Panel and click the Tags button on left side panel, or
  • Select Components  Tags  Options from the drop-down menus.

Description[edit]

Used to set global defaults for menu items that display tags. These default values will be used when "Use Global" is selected for an option in an Tags menu item. For example, to show the 'Tag Name' for an Tagged Items List in your Tags menu items, then set that option to "Show" here and it will be the default value. You do not need to set any of these options. Your Joomla site will work with the default settings.

To change the permissions, do the following.

  1. Select the Group by clicking its title.
  2. Find the desired Action. Possible Actions are:
    Configure. Users can access this screen (Tags Manager→Options).
    Access Administrative Interface. Users can access the Tags Manager.
    Create. Users can create new articles.

    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.

Quick Tips[edit]

  • If you are a beginning user, you can just keep the default values here until you learn more about using global options.
  • If you are an advanced user, you can save time by creating good default values here. When you set up menu items and create tags, you will be able to accept the default values for most options.
