Title. The name or title of the feed. Make it as descriptive as possible.
Access. This column shows the Access Level assigned to the news feed.
Language. The language used for this feed category.

ID. The ID number. This is a unique identification number for this item assigned automatically by Joomla!. It is used to identify the item internally, for example in internal links. You can not change this number.

Toolbar[edit]

At the top you will see the toolbar:

The functions are:

New. Opens the editing screen to create a new category.

Edit. Opens the editing screen for the selected category. If more than one category is selected (where applicable), only the first category will be opened. The editing screen can also be opened by clicking on the Name of the category.

Publish. Makes the selected category available to visitors to your website.

Unpublish. Makes the selected category unavailable to visitors to your website.

Archive. Changes the status of the selected category to indicate that they are archived. Archived category can be moved back to the published or unpublished state by selecting "Archived" in the Select Status filter and changing the status of the category to Published or Unpublished as preferred.

Check-in. Checks-in the selected category. Works with one or multiple category selected.

Batch. Batch processes the selected category. Works with one or multiple items selected.

Rebuild. Reconstructs and refreshes the relevant table. Normally, you do not need to rebuild this table. This function is provided in case the data in the table becomes corrupted.

Trash. Changes the status of the selected category to indicate that they are trashed. Trashed category can still be recovered by selecting 'Trashed' in the 'Select Status' filter and changing the status of the category to Published or Unpublished as preferred. To permanently delete trashed category, select 'Trashed' in the 'Select Status' filter, select the category to be permanently deleted, then click the 'Empty Trash' toolbar icon.

Help. Opens this help screen.

Options. Opens the Options window where settings such as default parameters can be edited. See News Feed Manager Options for more information.

List Filters[edit]

Filter by Partial Title

You can filter the list of items either by typing part of the title or the ID number.

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 or an ID number and press 'Search' 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.

Filter by Access, State, and Language

In the upper right area, above the column headings, there are 4 drop-down list boxes as shown below:

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

Select Access. Use the drop-down list box to select the access level.

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:

Change the filter to Trashed. The Delete icon will now show in the toolbar.
Select the items you want to permanently delete.
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.

Select Language. Use the drop-down list box to select the language.
