o Page Title. Enter the title to display for the new page (for example, 'Page 2').
o 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.
o Insert Pagebreak. 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.
· Read more... This button inserts a 'Read more...' break in the Article. 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
Into Text, will initially display, along with a 'Read more...' link. 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. Note that the 'Read more...' break
only shows in the Front Page, Section, and Category Blog layouts. If you want to insert breaks for an
Article shown in an Article Layout, use the Page Break button.
TinyMCE editor
The default editor for both front-end and back-end users in Joomla! is the TinyMCE editor. Ripplenet have
installed the JCE editor, which is better suited to pages that have embedded coding.
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. The 3-row toolbar below provides many
standard editing commands:
· Top Row.
o Buttons in the upper left allow you to make text bold, italic, underlined, or strikethrough.
Next to that are buttons for align left, right, center, and full.
o Styles. Caption and System Pagebreak styles can be set. Highlight the desired text and select
the style. This will allow this text to be formatted based on CSS rules.
o Format. Select pre-defined formats for Paragraph, Address, Heading1, and so on.
o Font Family. Select the desired font.
· Second Row.
o Unordered List, Ordered list, Outdent (move left) and Indent (indent right).
o Undo (Ctrl+Z) and Re-do (Ctrl+Y).
o Insert/Edit Link. To insert or edit a link, select the linked text and press this button. A popup
dialog displays that lets you enter details about the link.
o Unlink. To remove a link, highlight the linked text and press this button.
o Insert/Edit Image. To insert and image, place the cursor in the desired location and press this
button. A popup dialog displays that lets you enter in the Image URL and other information
about how the image will display.
o Cleanup Messy Code. This button allows you to clean up HTML code, perhaps from HTML
text that you copied in from another source.
