List Filters[edit]

Filter by Partial Title

You can filter the list of items either by entering in part of the title or the ID number. You can also select a combination of State, Access, and Language.

  • Filter. In the upper left corner just above the column headings is a Filter field and two buttons, as shown below:
    Article manager filter1.png
    If you have a large number of items on the list, you can use this filter to find the desired item(s) quickly. Enter either part of the title and press 'Go' to display the matching items. You can enter in whole words or part of a word. For example, "ooml" will match all titles with the word "Joomla!" in them. You can also search for a specific item id by entering "id:" followed by the id number. For example, "id:123" will find the item with an id of '123'.

Filter by Status, Access, Language

In the area in the upper right, above the column headings, there are 3 drop-down list boxes as shown below:

The selections may be combined. Only items matching all selections will display in the list.

  • Select Status. Use the drop-down list box to select the published state: Published, Unpublished, Trashed, or All. For Articles, you may also select Archived. Important: With the default setting of -Select Status-, the screen only shows Published and Unpublished items. If you have the filter set to -Select Status- and you change items to Trashed, the Trashed items will disappear from the screen. However, they have not been permanently deleted. To do that you need to:
  1. Change the filter to Trashed. The Delete icon will now show in the toolbar.
  2. Select the items you want to permanently delete.
  3. Click on the Delete icon.
You can see all items, regardless of their published state, by selecting All for this filter. You can also re-publish Trashed items by selecting them and clicking on the Publish icon in the toolbar.

Chunk:Help screen column header Select Access

  • Select Language. Use the drop-down list box to select the desired Language. Only items in this Language will display.
  • -Select <Column Variable>- In each box is the default setting and reveals all items relating to the particular list.
