Content organization in Joomla - removal and creation of articles in admin, as well as setting parameters for all materials. Organization of content in Joomla - Delete and create articles in the administrator, as well as setting parameters for all materials plugin JL NO D

Hello, dear blog readers Website. Today we will continue the series of lessons according to the Joomla.

The topic of today's publication is the organization, presentation and management of the contents of the site (content). We also consider detail the nuances of deleting sections, categories and materials, as well as study the possible settings of the parameters that can be done when adding a new material.

Content Structure and Hierarchy in Joomla

The organization and conclusion of content on the page of the project is carried out using the components that are. To work with articles, uses a built-in component for working with content. True, access to its settings is somewhat different from the usual and for this you will need to choose from the top menu not the item "Components", but the item "Materials".

It allows you to organize articles in sections and categories or leave them not classified. Joomla also has other components that are able to withdraw their content on site pages.

This, for example, the built-in default component of contacts or output of the weblink list. You can also use third-party extensions, for example, which is used to organize all kinds of photo gallery. Under the link you will find detailed publication Upon this fascinating process.

Content output is also possible with modules that display their contents on the periphery of the main part of the page. In this article, we will consider in detail the output methods using the built-in component designed to work with articles.

The texts of the articles are stored in the database, and not in the folders on the hard disk of the hosting. Such an organization allows you to very quickly reorganize content in Jumle. Instead of moving files with texts from one directory to another, it suffices to install new attributes for the article and it will instantly be attributed to another section and category.

As I mentioned earlier, the pages in the form of files with the extension ".html" are not stored in the CMS, as it has previously been done in static sites. Joomla generates a webline at the time of clicking on the link, which makes it easy to modify the documents being viewed by changing the links in the menu. The information content itself remains unchanged.

In the simplest case, one of the link from the menu can open one only article from the composition of those that you have already added to. But it will also be possible to organize the output on the contents of the contents of a whole category or section (a list of all materials contained in them in one form or another).

And in this case, you will also just just follow the link from the menu. To configure what it will be displayed when you click on the link in the menu, you can in admin by selecting the option you want. But we will talk about it a little later.

The easiest way to organize content is the use of not classified articlesthat will not belong to any sections and categories. This method can be relevant and in demand when creating a business card site on Jumle, for example, when the hierarchical organization will simply be unnecessary and unnecessary.

At the same time, on each menu link, you can hang a separate article, by creating items in the admin panel called " Standard template material. In this case, you spend the minimum amount of time to create a site, because You do not have to deal with all the subtleties and conclusion methods. It will be enough for you to write a few articles and hang each of them on the link in the menu. All - we can assume that the business card is created.

But it will be convenient and relevant only if items will be no more than a dozen. And if they are more and you plan to add them over time, then without a hierarchical organization of content can no longer do. For these purposes, sections and categories (two-level hierarchy) are served, according to which you can scatter both existing materials and those that will be added with time.

The top level of the hierarchy is partitions that cannot be directly located to place the contents (materials). For the placement of articles, it is already categories that, in turn, must necessarily belong to some section. Simply put, sections contain within themselves only categories, but already categories contain an article (content) within themselves.

Hierarchy will look something like this:

The option will be optimal when you think in advance the structure of the partitions and the categories invested in them. So it will be much easier than to carry a bunch of materials between them. I have already considered a scheme of nesting in a detail, so I will not repeat. I also talked about their creation and settings.

Now I want to stay on the process of filling the site content. Here everything seems to be simple - feed the texts in the visual editor, insert the pictures and save the result. But at the beginning there can be small difficulties and misunderstanding of how to do something or another action. Still, Jumlow has no 100% intuitive interface, which means there will be a job for me.

Removing sections, categories and materials in admin

But before learn to create content, I suggest you learn to delete it correctly. There, again, there is nothing cunning and complicated, but there are nuances that may arise. The contents can be on a new project for the reason that you, for example, did not remove a tick that prescribes the addition of demo data.

Of course, they will allow you to visually see all the possibilities of the engine and control engine. You will see actually placed in the positions for the modules of yours, look at the organization of materials in the jaumla admin and, finally, create to start adding your own articles, categories and sections, but for this you will need to be pre delete all demo data.

In the case of the installation of the engine, there are many different sections, categories and articles that you will not be needed in the future. They will need to remove. It seems to be nothing complicated, but you need to know a few moments that may interfere.

First, the removal must be started from the nose of the hierarchy, i.e. From articles. For it is impossible to remove the category in which there are articles and cannot be deleted a section in which there are categories.

Secondly, the article may be blocked and to delete it will have to drop locks. Well, in addition, you need to know that when you deleted from the manager, they will not finally erased, but will fall into the basket, from which they will also need to be removed. But first things first.

To delete articles in Joomla, you will need to select Materials from the top menu - "Material Manager" from the top menu. In the window that opens, you can withdraw only a specific partition or a specific category using filters.

If you are in this list opposite some publications, you see the lock icon instead of the switch, then this means that it is currently not editing. Those. The browser opened a window with the editing page of this article. Or you closed it, but at the same time they forgot to click the "Close" or "Save" button on the edit page. Therefore, it is considered open and cannot be removed from the Jumli database.

In this case, in order for the locked publication to be deleted, you will have to choose "Tools" items from the top menu - "Resetting blocks". After that, all materials will be unlocked and can be removed:

In the Material Manager, you can select individual ones to delete, putting a tick, or remove the whole pack right away. You can also use the filter to display materials only a specific partition or category, and then select the "All" option in the bottom of the list at the bottom:

Now you will sufficiently put a tick in the topmost field of the column adjacent to the title, and click on the "Add to Cart" button, located at the top of the window. All articles dedicated by you will be transferred to the basket:

To finally delete them, you need to select "Materials" from the top menu - "Basket" from the top menu and in the window that opens allocate all articles that are there, and then click on the Delete button, located at the top of the window:

Everything, with the materials is finished, now it will remain only to go in turn into managers of categories and sections (from the top menu of the admin) and delete all unnecessary categories in which there are no more articles, and then unnecessary sections in which there are no categories.

Well, we have learned to delete content from Joomla, now it's time to learn how to create it. It is known to destroy how it is easier than to build. I will not talk about the creation of partitions and categories, because It was devoted to this a whole article (a link to which is presented a little higher), and I will go right away for the addition of a new material.

Adding and distribution of content in Joomla

To do this, you will need to choose from the top menu admines "Materials" - "Manager". The window will open, where the headlines of all you have on the articles will be displayed. If you just deleted all the demo data, then this list will be empty. Let's run on the toolbar of the Material Editor window and consider the purpose of the buttons existing there:

The first two buttons "from the archive" and "to the archive" serve to unpack articles from the archive and to place them in the archive. Very rarely used opportunity to work with archives, in my opinion, is practically useless and not needed in work.

Buttons "Show" and "Hide" allow you to make a massive publication (withdrawal of materials on site pages) or massive removal from publication. To do this, you will need to put the ticks opposite those articles to which you want to apply this action, and then click on one of these buttons.

You can configure the output of materials in relation to individual articles in the list by clicking on a red cross or a green tick at its row:

The "Transfer" button allows you to move the dedicated materials (opposite which you put ticks) to another category or section Joomla. The "Copy" button allows you to copy them. "In the basket" allows you to move the selected materials to the basket, from which they can then be restored or finally deleted.

"Change" allows you to open a dedicated article to edit (tantamount to pressing the title of the material in the manager list). "Create" allows you to open a window for adding a new material where you can write the text of your article.

The "Parameters" button allows you to specify the default settings for all materials. They will be used by default for all new materials that you will add to Jumlu in the future, as well as for those articles that you have already added:

Almost the same settings for materials (except for some) you will be able to change when writing or editing each individual article (read more about it at the end). Of course, it is much more convenient to ask need settings By default, and when writing articles to change them only as needed if they are not suitable for this particular publication.

Creating a new article in Admin

To add a new material, we will need to use the "Create" button. As a result, a window will open, allowing you to enter its text and make various settings for it:

You will have to fill in the "Title" field, where you need to enter the desired name, which will later display on the pages of the site. The "Pseudonym" field should be filled in if you are. There you will need to enter Latin letters without gaps actually a piece of the future URL (addresses) of the page, if it is displayed separately by reference from the menu.

In the case of using third-party components for the organization CNC, the field "pseudonym" will not be filled. I already wrote. By the way, this component will help you still create an error page 404 of the proper form, which is also welcome.

For a new article you need to choose any section and category in the appropriate fields. If you wish, you can make it not belonging to any of them, i.e. not classified (may further be used to create so-called static pages). To do this, in the fields "Section" and "Category" you need to choose the option "not specified".

A tick in the "Published" field will mean that after saving it will immediately be published and may appear on the site pages if the corresponding menu item will be created for its output. This publication can be removed, for example, as part of the category for which you created the appropriate menu item (as a blog or list).

For example, by creating the menu item "News" of the "Blog Category" menu and adding a new article into it, this material will be available on the site when you click on the link "News" in the menu of your project. The most difficult for the novice user understand that in Joomla there are no pages as in a static website, and all the contents (content) added by you in the admin package is stored in the database. The same contents are displayed only if there are links from the menu.

Thus, you must first add content, and then create links to it in the Website menu. They define not only what should be displayed on the page, but also how the contents should be located. But this we have already ran a little forward and we will need to return to the creation of a new material in the jumla admin.

At the top of the window, another field "On the main thing" remained, where the default tick is active in the no position. This means that this article will not be displayed on main page Your site.

All publications, when creating or editing which you put a tick to the "Yes" position of this field, will be displayed on the main blog. You can manage articles from the top menu of the admin package "Materials" from the top menu.

In the main part of the window of adding a new material, you can enter the text of the future article using the possibilities of the visual editor embedded in Joomla. Personally, I prefer to use another visual editor - JCE. On how to install JCE and make it the default editor, read by just above the link.

In principle, the work in the visual editor is similar to work in the word Word, with the exception that in Joomla you sometimes have to go directly to editing the HTML code (there is such an HTML button on the default toolbar used by default).

Your ability to understand and make changes to HTML The code of the article will help you easily and quickly destroy any visual editor. Therefore, if necessary, I advise you to familiarize yourself with the contents of my blog "".

Personally, I, for the most part, I do not use the visual editor at all, for at first it was simply trained in the practice of HTML code, and then I got used to do only. But this is the case of taste and personal preference. We assume that with the creation of the text of the article and adding to it if necessary, as well as images, etc. You understand things yourself.

Settings (parameters) that can be set when adding an article

Let's consider the settings of the new material that we can do using three tabs from the right window. The first is called "Parameters - Articles" and you can choose in the "Author" field of the user who will be considered its author.

In the field "Pseudonym" you can enter a pseudonym under which this material will be published if you do not want to show the real name of the author. Information about the authorship will be displayed in the upper part of it, but only if you specify this in the settings for this material, but we will talk about it slightly below.

In the "Access" field you can choose the group of users who can see this article (or all, or only registered users or only administrators). In the "Creation Date" field, you can specify the creation date and it will be displayed on the article page, unless it is prohibited in the settings for this material.

In the "Published" field, you can introduce, if necessary, the date of the deferred publication. In this case, after you save this article, it will appear on the site only with the onset of the date and time you specified in this field.

Thus, it is possible to add a lot of materials before leaving on vacation at once in the Joomla admin. But configure their alternate publication at interval per day and thereby create the appearance of your presence. By default, the current date and time will be spelled there.

In the "Expicts" field, you can set the date of the removal of this article with publication. This may be needed, for example, when conducting any one-time action, at the end of which it will not be needed. By default, the option "Never" is chosen in this field, which means that this material can be removed from the publication only into manual. In this and in the previous field, you will need to click on the calendar icon located on the right.

Advanced Article Settings (Materials) in Jumle

On the "Parameters - Extended" tab, the settings of the materials will be involved only when this article is fully displayed on the site (for example, when the visitor clicks on the link "More details" below the announcement of the article when displaying the Category Blog in Joomla). Often, these extended parameters generally changed in general, because Either do not know how to do it, or do not consider it necessary.

Personally, I still think that some of these extended parameters should be changed. But, first, it can be done immediately for all the article by clicking on the Material Manager page by the "Parameters" button and selecting the desired settings for the same parameters.

As a result, these extended settings for articles will be applied by default (the default option looks like "to use global") when writing all new materials. But you can create some of them when creating or editing content.

Let's detail consider all settings On the "Parameters - Extended" tab, which you can do when creating or editing the material in Joomla:

The following settings tab in the new material creation window is called "Meta-data":

Here you can ask an invisible information on the article that is primarily intended for robots. search engines. In fact, some fields on this tab also have a rather strong meaning to search engine optimization. I wrote in detail about it in detail, so I do not consider it necessary to repeat. Ibid.

Good luck to you! To ambiguous meetings on the blog pages Website

How to Clean Demo Data

Demo data can only be on the site only in one way, when installing Joomla and that if you put a checkbox in a checkbox "Install the demo data". Establish demodata is not necessary, but if it happened to be removed. You can do this immediately or after familiarization with them. In general, demodata is needed to familiarize yourself with the device and structure of the Joomla site. They include various information, including references to third-party resources that are definitely not needed.

Demodata posted in all units of site content: in articles, sections, menus, modules. As well as in system components: banners, contacts, news ribbons, links.

Cleaning Joomla site, general principle

The general principle of data deletion is not complicated.

Go to the desired component or content manager;
Allocate checkboxes of the removable demonstration material;
Send them to the basket;
Next, filter the data on the "state selection" → "In the basket" and clean the basket.

Show examples, delete various data:

Delete the menu and delete the menu item

Clear Basket Menu

Remove material, category, selected materials

Remove banner, banner category, banner clients

Clear basket banners

Remove module

Clear basket modules

Delete users

How to clean the cache site

If you set any caching of the site data, then after changes to the site settings or add new content, you need to clean the site cache.

class \u003d "Eliadunit"\u003e

The cache site is cleaned on the tab: System → Casha Cleaning. You can clean the cache directly in the site catalog. To do this, delete all files in the directory cache. Site, with the exception of the index.html file.

Note: The cache cleaning button is present on the system update page and on the Extensions Manager page → Management. True called this button "Refresh Cash".

How to remove unnecessary extensions

Unnecessary extensions are deleted on the tab Expansion Manager → Management. Allocate the extension and click the "Uninstall" button.

Note: Extensions type SYSTEBLODs from removal. They are "hanging" the castle.

How to remove traces of uninstalled extensions

After removing some extensions, they remain "traces". These can be the extension catalogs and tables in the database.

Expansion catalogs are deleted by FTP compoundBy expansion name (expansion directory) from the root folder of the site and directories: components, Modules, Plugins, as well as directories Administrator / Components, Administrator / Modules, Administrator / Plugins.

How to clean the joomla garbage basket

Joomla garbage basket is not a catalog. If you put something (article, menu, category, module, link, news ribbon., Banner, etc.) in the basket, this is assigned to TRASH. Data on the basket can be restored (photo below). If the material is removed from the basket, "cleaning basket", it is deleted forever.

Why clean basket?

I repeat, any material material from the basket can be restored. This means that the material remains the name, Alias \u200b\u200band other parameters. Create another material with the same name (alias) will not work, as long as you do not delete the material from the basket. For example, you created a menu item: Nature, then deleted it to the basket. Then they decided to create a menu item again with the same name: it would not work, the Alias \u200b\u200bparameter is busy and to free Alias, you need to clear the Menu Cart.

Clearing search results

By default, the search component is enabled in the SSTEM and the smart seat is turned off. Collection of search results statistics is also enabled (Tab General Settings-Search). To clear the search results, log in to the Craton tab \u003e\u003e\u003e Search and the "Reset Search Results" button Clean the search.

Good day Dear site visitors Site! Today we will talk about how to maximize the tracks of Joomla with your Internet project so that competitors cannot understand what CMS system is your site. These measures to hide traces of Jumla are needed so that your competitors or hackers can hack your site in order to lower your project in the results of the search for Google and Yandex. The Joomla website management system software code is open, so and hack the system is easier than any other. Therefore, we recommend that you update your Joomla sites as soon as possible as soon as updates for this CMS.

To remove all traces of Joomla engine, we will need to make the following items:

Remove the copyright from the joomla engine
We remove the possibility of displaying blocks in the template through the command http: //vash-site.ru/? TP \u003d 1
Cleaning Meta Tags from all Joomla references
We carry out work on protecting Admin Panel Joomla

1. How to remove copywrites or references from a PHP script in CMS Joomla, which will score our website management system that our Internet project is running joomla system?

This measure is essentially the simplest, on each template, copywrites are removed differently from different files. Let's consider just a template, that is, we will look at how to remove the copywrit from template Joomla Premium Templates:

Enters your FTP server. and open Template / your template / index.php and find approximately the following code:

Joomla!.
Xhtml CSS.

This code from the file you can easily delete, or in the code simply change links to your own (for example: my clear site)

2. If you enter the http http: //vash- oscil. Kg/? Tp \u003d 1 in the browser, then all available positions of modules (blocks) are displayed in the template.

To hide the display of modules, you will need to edit the following file: /Librurseys/Joomla/application/Module/helper.php

In the file looking for strings 96-103:

if (Count ($ result) \u003d\u003d 0) (

if (jrequest :: getbool ("tp")) (
$ result \u003d jmodulehelper :: getmodule ("mod _". $ position);
$ result-\u003e title \u003d $ position;
$ Result-\u003e Content \u003d $ Position;
$ Result-\u003e Position \u003d $ Position;
}
}

and we are still looking for 199-201 lines:

if (jrequest :: getbool ("tp")) (
$ ATTRIBS ["Style"]. \u003d "Outline";
}

Now you can remove the above code. If you need to see the location of the blocks in the future, it is better not to delete the above code, but simply to commemorate it to substitution before each beginning of the string // or / *.

3. Let's remove with you or correct the Meta Joomla tags on your site. Each site can see source Pages where you at the beginning of the page and you can see all meta-data, and the Meta tag of Joomla will also be registered there:

Meta Tags "Title", "Description" and "Keywords" are prescribed to the admin panel of your site in the settings.

To remove the Joomla traces mention in the Meta-Name "Generator" - you must open the following file via the FTP client: Template / My_slock / index.php and before Register a small code:

sETGENERATOR (""); ?\u003e

We prescribe the code, save and see the resulting result.

4. Now we will protect the Admin Panel Joomla from various kinds of hacking attempts, or that people simply could not get to the login and password page of your site. All webmasters who make sites on CMS Joomla know that the entrance to the administrative panel http: //vash-site.ru/administrator

To prohibit access to the admin panel, you will need to install a free Jsecure plugin. After installing the plugin and turn it on, in the Key field it will be necessary to register any word - for example poc-Chettkij.Next, we keep the changes and try to enter the administrative part of the site. Only after the above gestimation, the address of your admin will be the next http: //vash-site.ru/administrator/? Poc-Chettkij

The CNC command - is responsible for optimizing the redirection of URLs ("Url") addresses of the site pages for search engines, speaking simple language Setting the SEF (CNC) rebuilds links to pages in readable links, both for users and search engines. It is no secret that search engines are currently taking into account the name of the ulles at search results And when indexing the pages of the site, so many addresses are written on translitement (transliteration), the Russian word - Latin letters.

We remove the ID (numbers) from the URL of the pages in Joomla 2.5.x / 3.x.x.x

Ways to delete the ID from the URL of the page addresses:

install Artio Joomsef or SH40SEF plugin

The first way to remove page identifiers and categories by installing special extensions is quite convenient, but has one important negative item, SEF (CNC) The components rather significantly increase the load on the server, therefore such a method is used extremely rarely and at extreme cases when without additional modules or plug-ins It is impossible to do. I.e a large number of Installed plug-ins on the Joomla platform increases the time of downloading the site, which adversely affects the relationship to the site of users and search engines (especially for Google).

The second method adds to the admin panel additional setting, Additional choice, show ID page or hide. At the same time, negative consequences are also possible in the form of an error 404 (for example with categories) and it will be necessary to make additional changes to the configuration files. But after making all changes, the site will work in normal mode and without identification numbers in reference

The third method, the most convenient and simple. Replace one configuration file. others, or register additional command Lines. The minus of the method is to automatically replace the file when updating joomla versionFor the rest of the site's performance, no influence does not turn out. When updating the CMS version, remember this file (Router.php) and save it under a different name, after the update simply replace the original PHP file.
