Developers Notes

The filtering parameters in config.xml have the new parameter menu="hide". This hides the filters from the

Menu Item's Component pane as you do not want cascading overrides to occur at the menu item level.

Quick Tips

In Joomla! versions prior to 1.5, there were separate processes for creating a Static Content Item and

normal Content Items. Both processes are now done just by adding Articles. Normal Content Items

are now just called Articles, and Static Content Items are now called Uncategorized Articles.

· To create a static content item, create a new Article in the same way as for normal content and assign

it to the 'Uncategorized' Section and Category. You can then use the Menu Item Type called Article

Layout to show the Article in a page.

· Joomla! 1.5 changes the method you must use to create the 'Read more...' link. When you are adding

or editing an article, just press the 'Read more...' button located at the bottom of the screen, next to

Image and Pagebreak buttons. This inserts a 'Read more...' break in the Article. The text before the

break will display as the Intro Text, and the text after the break will display when the 'Read more...'

link is pressed.
