Edit Add a page Add Joomla 3. How to edit Joomla template. Change of appearance. Dediks on Intel Xeon E5620 are available at a promotional price.

"We learned how to create partitions and categories, change templates and set a quick start of Joomla. Now let's talk about how to position the materials on the main page of your site (on the same example you can arrange on all other pages). For this I will use Articles of this blog, and you can create your categories and write your articles for a more detailed study. After all, only having done everything yourself, you can quickly understand and remember the entire process.

In this article we will look at material location on the main page And learn how to change the type of display of articles and on other pages of the site. If you want to first just learn to write articles and figure out their settings, then visit.

First, when writing articles carefully examine the Joomla text editor. It is quite functional and has many settings that will be enough for the usual site (for example, for my blog). In the following articles, we will consider it in detail and wonder its basic functions. If you need to create, for example, various tables or other more complex functions for your articles, then you should pay attention to third-party components such as JCE EDITOR.

After creating the necessary partitions and categories, go to the "Materials" \u003e\u003e "Material Manager", and you will find a list of articles (or most likely their absence. If you have not installed a quick start). At the right upper part, click "Create". Write a few trial articles for training. I, for example, copied three articles in a trial site from my blog. Here's how they look now on the Joomla main page:

We see that the first article is located across the entire width of the page, and the other two are displayed in the columns on the left and right. This is the standard setup of the site page display if the menu item mode is selected, which is called "Blog Categories on the main". But, in addition to displaying articles in the form of a blog, there are still many ways to feed the material of your site on the pages. In order to see all possible options. withdrawal articles in joomlaYou need to go to the site administrative panel and click "All Menu" \u003e\u003e "Main Menu":

By clicking on the "Main Menu", we fall into menu items. We have only one point there - this is "Home" (another menu when installing a clean joomla is not there yet. But when installing a quick start, there will be many other items):

We will experiment on the main page, since there is no particular difference. Mechanism material locations It will be the same for any pages of your project. So, let's first click on the "main" and see how you can withdraw information on the site. After clicking on the "main", you will fall into the settings of this menu item. But it is best to do the procedure for setting up the main page from scratch. To do this, press the "Change Type" of the menu item:

In other words, we will now create a menu item again. After clicking on the type of change button, you fall into the selection window of various menu items. This is how it looks in Joomla 1.5:

But it looks like this window if you use a newer version of Joomla 1.6 or 1.7:

As you can see, there are no differences. Is that in new versions of Joomla all windows are immediately disclosed. And in Joomla 1.5 you need to press first on a specific component, and only then you will see all possible options for displaying the materials of this extension on the site page. If you look at my blog, you will see that I have a top menu, in which in addition to the main page there are many more points, such as "On the blog", "Subscription for news" and others. But we will talk about installing new menu items just below. And now let's return to the setting of the main page. On the main page, it is customary to withdraw precisely the materials in a different form: you can display articles from all categories right with the main, archival materials and so on. By clicking on the "Materials" menu, you will see this list:

I will try to describe all available options. withdrawal articles in joomla:

List of materials in the archive - articles will be displayed, which were archived and searched by the date of creation or time of publication;
Standard material template - this menu item will display only one article to choose from (for example, as I have an article about the author);
Material send template - allows users of your site to add materials to the site, but only if they are assigned a category of the author or higher;
Categories Template - This template displays materials in the form of a blog (both on the main page). This is the most common view of the menu item, as it is suitable for displaying almost all categories on the site pages;
Category List Template - Displays all published articles of a specific category that you select, as a simple list;
Materials blog template Home - Displays materials from selected categories in a blog format on the main page of the site;
Section blog template - shows all published articles from a specific section of your site in the form of a blog;
The standard partition template - displays a list of published categories of the selected partition.

List of materials in the archive

If you decide to choose this option, you will need to hold only small settings for the output of materials. First of all, pay attention to the main parameters:

Here you need to configure the sorting of materials on the selected page of your site. Options are available by sorting by date, header, author, the largest or smallest number of clicks and the order of location. Next, go to the component parameters:

I will not explain all settings of the parameters of the component, since they are all intuitive and quite simple in the setting. You will simply configure the display of some items from the materials on the site. For example, you can prohibit display the title of the article, the author, the name of the section and other parameters. In the end you will need to configure the parameters of the system. This data is needed to display the page title on the site, the pages class suffix settings and display the image of the menu item.

This is how the list of materials in the archive will look like:

The main page displays a filter to search for materials according to the specified parameters. Namely by month, year and date. And the articles will be displayed in this order in which you were configured in the parameters of this menu item.

Standard material template

This type of information output is used if you want to display a specific article on the site. For example, I used this type of menu item to create the "Blog author", "" and "My Services" pages. Now for training, let's click on this menu item in the settings. To do this, you need to click on the "Edit Type" button or simply create a new menu item. That's what we will see in the settings of the parameters of this page when choosing a standard material template:

In the basic parameters, only one setting is the ability to select the article you need, which will be displayed when you click on a specific menu item. For example, select any item you need. For example, if you need to create a page about the site of the site, it is this article and choose in these settings. After selecting the material to display, you will still need to configure the parameters of the component:

Here the settings are similar to all menu items. You can also disable or allow the display of various items on the page with the selected material. Then you will only need to configure the system parameters (header display, page class suffix, displaying the menu item picture and so on) and everything, the page is ready! It will look like this:

I, when setting up the display of this page, canceled the show of almost all unnecessary elements (date of creation, category, author of the article and other). So I just have a headline and material itself. More no extra elements for displaying this page I needed. I advise you for the future: try to use as few settings as possible withdrawal articles in joomlaSince this will reduce the number of database requests and speed up the page load as a whole.

Template sending material

When you press the corresponding menu item, you will see that there are no basic settings. There are only settings for the display of the materials themselves. And again everything is similar to the settings in the preceding paragraphs. So configure the output of the articles and save. This is how this page will look like the possibility of adding material through the facial part of your site:

When adding an article from the site's front, you first need to come up with and enter the title of the article, and then write, in fact, the text of the material itself. As can be seen from the screenshot, you will be available to the same text editor as when adding an article from the site administrative panel. Also, you can insert an image and add a "page break" or "More". After writing the necessary data, go to the following settings that are located just below the visual text editor:

In these parameters, you can configure the articles belonging to a specific section and category, put the status "Published" and "Display on the main thing", write a pseudonym author of the author, configure the date of publication and the level of access to this material. Then you will only have to make a meta-data, namely the page description and keywords for which it will be advanced on the Internet.

The withdrawal of materials in the form of a blog

This type of material output is most often used in Joomla if you create a blog, news portal, etc. Ie, the site on which is planned to constantly lay out a new material. And all the articles that you will write in different categories, the first thing will be on the main page of the site. The withdrawal of materials in the form of a blog can be used both for individual categories or partitions and for the main page. I will not rub off every way, but only show the general settings for all these menu types.

So, by selecting a "Category" blog template, "section blog template" or "Materials blog template on the main", you will see on the right side of the screen. These are settings for displaying articles:

In full swing - the number of articles displayed in full width without splitting on the column;
Introduction - the number of articles broken into columns;
Speakers - the number of columns for the output of articles with entry;
Links - The number of articles displayed as references at the bottom of the page.

I usually put 5 articles in full width, and leave the remaining parameters to zero. For blog, it seems much more convenient for me. If you want all articles to be displayed in full width, then set the value "full width" - 5, "Introduction" - 0, "columns" - 1 or 0 (this is no longer important). And vice versa, to display all the articles in two columns, put the "full width" - 0, "Introduction" - for example 4 or 6 and "speakers" - 2. Try experimenting with the display and choose the optimal option that is suitable for your Site.

In these parameters, the order of categories (by title) is configured, the main order (by date, header, author, etc.), the order when the articles are displayed in several columns. Also configured page navigation and reference to the news channel of your site. The remaining parameters of this menu item are configured similar to previous methods of displaying information on your project pages.

Articles Categories or Categories of a Defined Partition in the form of a list

I practically did not use these types of mapping materials on the site. There is a small difference between them:

"Articles of the category in the form of a list" - here the list of articles from a specific site category is displayed. You can select only one category, but the list of articles can be done any size. Here you are no longer limited.
"List of categories of one section" - Displays no list of articles, but a list of categories of a specific section. It is convenient if there are many different categories on your site and need to be displayed on one page so that the user can immediately see them immediately.

Two of these menu items are almost the same. You choose the number of links and the desired category or section from which you need to take information. It will look like this.

The main page of the Joomla site, opens at the main address of the site, its domain. We can say that through the main page, visitors go to the site. That is why, the main page in the optimizer environment is called "Dorvey" (Doorway-entrance door), and in the Russian medium, "muzzle" or "hamster" (home page).

Being a "face person", the main page of the site has an increased value in holding the visitor on the website and thoughtful direction of the visitor on the site (site navigation).

How is the main page of Joomla

On Joomla's website, the toolkit for creating the main page is very good. Tools are understandable, do not have complex settings and are simplified as much as possible. The general principle of creating the main page of the site is:

At least one material should be created on the site;

Create a menu and menu item of the desired type ("Menu Manager" tab);
When creating a menu item, assign it "main page" or "home" or as you like;
Everything! The main page of the site, in the simplest execution, created.

How is the main page

The general principle of re-creation of the main page of the site is:

Option 1

If you have several menu items, and you decide to change the main page of the site. To do this, in the list of menu items, activate the new Joomla main page with the "Star" button or the "Home" checkbox.

After that, the system will automatically re-create the main page of the site. After cleaning the cache site (if its use is enabled), the changes will switch to the user part (frontand) of the site.

Option 2.

When creating or editing the menu item, simply turn on the "Home" button.

Dynamic main page "Favorite materials"

The site has the "Favorite Materials" tool. This is a group of materials for which you can create a separate menu item, such as "Favorite materials". If you can create a menu item, you can assign this menu item to the main page.

Very often, using the "Favorite Materials" group, create the main page of the Joomla website in the form of a blog of favorites. That is, we get a dynamic (constantly updated) main page of the site. For comparison, on WordPress sites, this is an analogue of the Public Publications.

Static home page Joomla

If you are using CMS Joomla, not for the information, but a commercial site (online store, corporate site), then it is quite reasonable to make the main page in the form of a peculiar showcase: extended information about the goods of the shop or company services.

This page creates on a similar algorithm:

First you need to create a page with a material in a text editor. Material needs colorfully and most importantly, informatively, arrange;
Then the menu item is created by the type "Separate Material". When choosing a material for this menu item, the created page is selected;
This menu item is assigned to the main page.

As a result, on the opening of the domain, the user will see an important information material that has been fought by information modules, which can be controlled by the information modules.

Modules on the main page

The display of information modules on the main page can and need to be adjusted. There are all the necessary tools for this. When creating the module, there is a visibility tab. On this tab, you can specify, show the module only on the main page or vice versa, delete the module from the main page.

Using this particular tool, you can create the main page of the most different type:

In the form of separate modules with minimal content;
In the form of a large material about the site with navigation without side speakers;
In the form of registration pages;
In the form of pages of contacts, etc.

This is how Lyding Page on CMS Joomla is being created.

How to update the static main page

The main page of the site is the beginning not just viewing the site, but also the start of the search site by search engines. The search engines should see the "muzzle" update and precisely on this, the main page should be constantly updated. You can use the following modules for the update by placing them on the main page:

Module "Recent entries";
The RSS ribbon module, including RSS feeds of its constantly updated news or RSS tape of the blog of "Favorite Materials".

Landing Page

It is worthwhile to note (there will be a separate material in detail) that CMS Joomla allows you to quickly and easily create a colorful Landing Page site. To do this, use the toolkit of the main page of the site and the ability to use two templates on the site: a general template for the main site and a single-page template for Landing Page.

Addition

In the online stores created on Joomla, the issue of setting up the appearance of the main page is determined by the extension settings for the store. It can be a showcase of goods or lists of goods by partitions or a separate page. However, all these settings are based on the Base Joomla general toolkit and the purpose of the main page is not much different from the actions described in that article.

Many novice web masters and website owners made on Joomla very often stand up before the problem when you need to change some text on the site, but absolutely no understanding how to do it. In this article, I will try to tell in detail about where all the texts of the site are stored, as well as how to search them, add, change and delete.

The topic of managing any text container Joomla is quite simple, but causes a lot of questions from beginners. For a start, let's understand where the texts on the site run on the joomla are stored at all.

Text on Joomla. Where are the texts stored?

There are only two places in which texts on the joomla-site can be stored:

language files
database

Why is it true? The thing is that all the text content of the site can be divided into two categories:

Texts created by users. This includes any information that you have added to the site through the administrator, or a frontend. This category includes all articles, category names, modules, all that you added and saved.
Texts created by developers. This category includes all texts that do not imply a change in a user or administrator. This category includes all Joomla settings and extensions, as well as some unchanging constant (like text "Add to cart" on the online store button).

If you want to find some kind of text, then the first thing that is required is to understand what two categories it refers. How to do it? Very simple! Answer the question: " Who created this text?", Having two options for answers:

Users or administrator.
Joomla / Joomla expansion developers.

Text on Joomla. How to find, add, modify, delete text created by users or administrator.

Let's start with the first category of texts. If the text is created by users or administrator, it is possible to edit it through the administrative panel in the section where it was created. For example, the text of the article can be edited in the settings of this article, the text of the category - in the category settings, the menu item text is in the settings of the corresponding menu item. To quickly find such texts, you need to navigate well in the Joomla structure. A universal way that will specify you directly on the edit page, no. The text in the titles of the page "Title" also refers to this category.

To add, change, delete texts in this category, it is sufficient to save changes after editing by pressing the corresponding button. Nothing difficult.

Text on Joomla. How to find, add, change, delete text created by developersJoomla / ExpansionJoomla.

It may seem that this category of texts to manage is much more complicated than the first, but in fact it is not. Everything is much easier here.

This category of texts is stored in the so-called Joomla language files. In Joomla 1.5 and earlier, these texts were edited only in the corresponding language files. Those. It was necessary to open the FTP file, find the text and make corrections to it. This required to know in what of the files to search. There are quite a lot of them.

In the latest versions of Joomla (2.5, 3.x), the developers have embedded the "Override Constant" function. It is very useful and convenient.

In order to find, add, change or delete the text of the language constant, to which all the texts of this category include, we act according to the following algorithm:

That's all, the text is fixed. Please notice, in the language file, the text remained the same. Override was created. If you delete it from the list, the initial text will be back.

The second addition - in the "Text" field, as itself in language files, is permissible to use HTML tags, as well as the Language variable "% s" (for those who are aware of).

I think you will agree that in Joomla, the text management is one of the simplest among all CMS. Of course, it would be easier to correct texts directly on the site, but this is possible not in all cases.

Even after reading the article, you could not find some text on the site, write in the comments. I try to help.

Create a page with content and the menu item leads.

How to create material

Create materials directly from the admin panel conveniently, because Joomla offers a functional and convenient visual editor for this purpose, the basic formatting tools in which are not hidden deep and most users will not cause questions. However, there are some possibilities of mentioning.

The editor can work both in visual mode and in the source code of the material. To activate it, click Tools -\u003e Source Code.

Pay attention to tabs. The most popular action, except for the editing of the text - adding pictures to it. This feature is available in the Advanced form on the tab. Images and links.

Simple inserting pictures (without wide possibilities) is not so far hidden: Insert -\u003e Paste / Edit Image.

However, instead of downloading a picture file, this approach implies an insertion address of the link leading to the drawing.

On the tab Material There is a button ModuleWith which you can withdraw all sorts of contents (archives of articles, the last, most popular posts, etc.) directly in the material. Press the button Module And select, what exactly want to withdraw by clicking on its name.

Check the boxes next to unnecessary items and click In garbageClick on the left point in the field Menu header Page opened instead HOME. Enter the main and press Save. As a result, the top menu of the site will completely change the structure.

3. To add a item in the Top menu editor, click Create.
