Unfortunately, if we went over all of the options on this screen, the Joomla tutorial would get way too long. However, if have ever used a word processor, everything should look very familiar.
In addition, you can hover over any of the icons to get a description of what it does. This way, you should be able to quickly figure out how to write and format text, insert headings, images, and other media, and anything else it has to offer. When you are done, make sure that when you save, Status on the right is set to Published and that you pick the correct template location under Position pay attention that you also select your active theme!
In this case, we also want to hide the module title. Then, go to Menu Assignment the tab below the title and use the drop-down menu to choose the pages you want to show this module on. You can use this same method to insert other things into Joomla pages like blog posts we will talk about that later in the tutorial , banners, menus, images, and iframes. In addition, you can also add new modules via extensions more on that below as well. For example, this is what the homepage looks like when we add the main image in form of a slider at the hero-section position with the help of a plugin and move the text module to content-top :.
Now for something easier: pages. The first thing to learn here is that you create them in one place and make them appear in another. In this CMS, pages are simply called articles. Alternatively, use the shortcut on the control panel. Both will get you to a very similar editing screen as you used before. Create and format content the same way as you did earlier.
When you are done, under Alias you are able to determine a permalink meaning page URL. It often makes sense to put a keyword here instead of using the article title.
Under Status make sure that it is set to Publish before saving. For that, under Menus , find the one with the house icon assigned to it. That is your currently active one. To assign a new link to it, hover over it and pick Add New Menu Item.
Doing so will take you to the screen below. Then, under Select Article, you can choose existing content on your site via Select and then clicking on the title of the one you want to assign. Now you only need to input a Menu Title at the top which is the text that will appear in the menu and make sure the menu to assign it to is selected on the right.
When you now save and close, you can use the three-dot icon on the left to drag menu items around and change their order.
Publishing blog posts in Joomla basically works the same way as creating pages. The only difference: you assign your blog posts to a category. For that, we first need one. It takes you to the same editor as before. In this case, you only have to input a name at the top e. Blog then save and close. After that, you can assign the category to your menu the same way you did with the page before. Make sure to select your Blog category under Choose a Category.
Save and close to get it on your site. From now on, any article that you assign to your Blog category will show up in the form of a blog post under that menu item.
The final thing we want to talk about in this Joomla beginner tutorial is extensions. With their help, you can bring new features and functionality to your site. You find them in the official Joomla extension directory.
Just input a search term, use the categories or the advanced search to find what you are looking for. With more than 6, available extensions, it can be difficult to make a choice, so you can start with collections like this:.
Once you know what to install on your site, you have several ways of doing so. When you are there for the first time, at the top, use the option to set up Install from web. When you do, it gives you access to everything in the Joomla extension directory right from your back end.
Click on any extension and then hit the Install button twice to automatically load it onto your site. Should this not work for you for some reason, you can simply download the extension or copy the URL where it is located. From here, you are also able to deactivate and uninstall extensions you no longer need. For this example, we have installed the popular JCE content editor. The goal was to create a headstart for you so you could instantly start working on content, not dealing with the headaches of setting up and confiuring the site.
