Overview

The Web Links Category Manager allows you to manage categories that can be used to classify Web Links.

How to Access

Select Components → Weblinks → Categories from the drop-down menu of the Joomla! Administrator Panel, or select the "Categories" link on the Web Links Manager screen.

Description

The Web Links Category Manager is where you can edit existing Web Links Categories and create new ones. Note that Web Links Categories are separate from other Categories, such as Categories for Articles, Banners, News Feeds, and Contacts. From this screen, you can also navigate to the Web Links Manager screen.

• Title. The name of the item. You can open the item for editing by clicking on the Title.

• Published. Whether the item has been published or not. You can change the Published state by clicking on the icon in this column.

• Ordering. Up-Down Arrows. User specified ordering, default is order of item creation. When active, drag and drop ordering by 'click and hold' on the bars icon then 'release' in desired position.

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

• Publish. Makes the selected web link categories available to visitors to your website.

• Unpublish. Makes the selected web link categories unavailable to visitors to your website.

Archived web link categories can be moved back to the published or unpublished state by selecting "Archived" in the Select Status filter and changing the status of the web link categories to Published or Unpublished as preferred.

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by selecting 'Trashed' in the 'Select Status' filter and changing the status of the web link categories to Published or Unpublished as preferred.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