Joomla Meta Keywords & Category Manager

Joomla Meta & the Section Manager

Meta Information

In this tab you can enter a specific description and keywords for every page as metadata for matching to the web design. The texts entered here are then inserted into the meta tags in the HTML source code of the message in addition to the metadata specified in the global configuration. An expert web developer will be able to research and input these terms for you.

Link to Menu
Automatic links to a menu, for example, the Main Menu, can be created here (see Static Content Manager section). The site displays multipaged content (Figure 5.17 and Figure 5.18):

The evaluation and other parameters can also be faded individually.

Category Manager
In the Category Manager you can work on categories. Here you will also see familiar information in the overview table: how many of the categories are active, and how many are in the trash can (Figure 5.20):

Frontpage Manager
The Frontpage Manager has a special task. The frontpage is the title page of your websites. Selected content is here represented in blog form. Blog form means the representation of several pieces of information with their introduction text and a Read More link in several columns. You can select your content for the frontpage from all of the content management system, regardless of category and section. Whether content appears on the frontpage is specified by you in the Content Manager.

Figure 5.21: Frontpage Manager
The Frontpage Manager as illustrated above has the same structure as the Content Items Manager (Figure 5.8). You can also sort the individual content items within the Frontpage Manager.

Archive Manager
The idea of archives is not to delete outdated content, but to preserve it for posterity:

Figure 5.22: Archive Manager

Laid out like the Content Items Manager (Figure 5.8), the Archive Manager (Figure 5.22) collects all content that is archived by clicking the Archive icon. Archives can be displayed by the Menu Manager in, for example, a New Archives menu. In addition, there are the following possibilities, as illustrated in Figure 4.48 of Chapter 4:
Blog - Content Category Archive: Display of a particular archive category
Blog - Content Section Archive: Display of a section
