User's Manual

Details

Title. The Title for this item. This may or may not display on the page, depending on the parameter

values you choose.

· Alias. The internal name of the item. Normally, you can leave this blank and Joomla! will fill in a

default value. The default value is the Title or Name in lower case and with dashes instead of spaces.

You may enter the Alias manually. The Alias should consist of lowercase letters, and no blank

spaces are allowed. Use a hyphen (-) instead. The Alias will be used in the URL when SEF is

activated.

the Published state for this item.

list box to change the Order. You can select 'First' or 'Last' to make this the first or last Category.

You can also select a Category from the list. In this case, the current Category will be listed just after

the Category you select. Note that the Order can also be changed in the Category Manager screen.

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.
