  • Press the 'Add New Article' button in the Control Panel
  • Select Content  Article Manager  Add New Article from the drop-down menus

To Edit an existing article, in Article Manager click on an Article's Title or click the Article's check box and then click the Edit button in the Toolbar.

Description[edit]

This is the back-end screen where you can add and edit Articles. The same screen is used for adding a new Article and editing an existing Article. You can also select the Section and Category for an Article and indicate whether or not it is Published and if it is selected to appear on the Front Page.

The Article's content is edited using the default editor selected in the User Manager - New/Edit. The Joomla! default editor is called TinyMCE.

  • Version Note. Optional field to identify this version of the item in the item's Version History window.

Article Text[edit]

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 None.

Editor Buttons[edit]

Five buttons are located just below the edit window, as shown below:

File:Help30-Article-Image-Pagebreak-Readmore-ToggleEditor-buttons.png

Article: This button opens a modal window that allows you to easily create a link to any article on the current site. The link is created using the article's title as the link text. The modal window is the same as for selecting an article for a Single Article Menu Item.

Help30-article-quick-link-button-en.png

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.
  • Click on the title to select the desired article in the modal window. You can use the filters and search to help find the desired article.
  • A link with the article's title will be inserted at the current cursor location.
  • If needed, you can edit the link text.

<translate> 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:</translate>

[[Image:Help30-editor-image-button-<translate>

en</translate>.png|600px|border]]

  • <translate>

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.</translate>

  • <translate>

Up. Navigate to the parent directory. Note that the top directory for this function is 'images'. You can not navigate to a higher directory.</translate>

  • <translate>

Insert. Insert the selected image. The insert point will be the current cursor position. You will see the image display inside the edit window.</translate>

  • <translate>

Cancel. Cancel the operation and close the popup window. You can cancel also in clicking the X at right top corner.</translate>

  • <translate>

Thumbnail Browse Area. Click on an image thumbnail to select the image. Click on a folder icon to navigate to that subdirectory.</translate>

  • <translate>

Image URL. Click on one of the image thumbnails and the URL for the image will be entered for you.</translate>

  • <translate>

Image Description. Enter a description for the image.</translate>

  • <translate>

Caption. If entered, this will displayed as a caption below the image.</translate>

  • <translate>

Image Float. This will apply the classes 'pull-left', 'pull-center' or 'pull-right' to the '<figure>' or '<img>' element.</translate>

  • <translate>

Image Title. Enter a Title for this image. This displays when a User hovers the mouse on the image.</translate>

  • <translate>

Caption Class. This will apply the entered class to the '<figcaption>' element. For example: 'text-left', 'text-center'.</translate>

  • <translate>

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.</translate>

  • <translate>

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. </translate>

<translate> 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:</translate>

[[Image:Help30-editor-pagebreak-button-<translate>

en</translate>.png|border]]

  • <translate>

Page Title. Enter the title to display for the new page (for example, 'Page 2').</translate>

  • <translate>

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.</translate>

  • <translate>

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.</translate>

[[File:Help30-Read-More-button-<translate> en</translate>.png|100px|right|border]] <translate>

  • Read More. This button inserts a 'Read more...' break in the Article.</translate> <translate> 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.</translate>
    <translate> 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.</translate>
    <translate> 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.</translate>
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.

Publishing Options[edit]

Note: This slider can be hidden by users with Admin Permission for the article manager.

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.

This section lets you display images and links in your articles using standardized layouts.

  • Link A. The URL for the first link to be displayed in a fixed location in the article text. This must be a full URL, not relative. For example, it normally would start with https://.
  • Link A Text. The text used for Link A. If blank, the URL will be displayed.
  • URL Target Window. Sets the default value for the target for the first Link in the article. Choices are:
    • Use Global: Use the value set in Articles  Options.
    • Open in parent window: Opens the link in the main browser window, replacing the current Joomla article.
    • Open in new window: Opens the link in a new browser window.
    • Open in pop up: Opens the link in a pop-up browser window (without full navigation controls).
    • Modal: Opens the link in a modal pop-up window.
Note: Same options for the second 'Link B' and the third 'Link C'.

Article Options[edit]

Note: This tab can be hidden by users with Admin Permission for the article manager.

This is a set of options you can use to control how this article will show in the Featured or Category blog layout. Joomla allows you to set these options at the following levels:

  1. In Article Manager→Options
  2. When you set up a Category Blog or Featured Articles menu item.
  3. When you create the article here.

When you create the blog menu item, you can set each of these options as follows:

  • Use Global: Uses the setting from Article Manager→Options
  • Yes/No or Hide/Show: Use the setting in that menu item.
  • Use Article Settings: Use the setting set here for the specific article. This allows you to show different articles with different options in the same blog page. For example, one article might show the author and a different article might not show the author.

The following Article Options can be set:

  • Read More Text. Optional field that allows you to customize the text that shows for a "read more" link. The default wording for English is "Read more".
  • Alternative Layout. If you have defined one or more alternative layouts for the Single Article menu item, you can select the layout to use for this article. See Layout Overrides in Joomla 1.6 for more information about alternative layouts.

Configure Edit Screen[edit]

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

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

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.

Article Permissions[edit]

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.

Article Editors[edit]

TinyMCE Editor[edit]

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'.

Code Mirror Editor[edit]

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.

Quick Tips[edit]

  • 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 below the edit area. For adding new images in an Article, it is easier to use the Image button (below the edit area). 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.
