Beginner's Guide

FIRST EXAMPLE: A STATIC CATALOG OR BOOK STRUCTURE
Sometimes you need a navigation for a book, a catalog or a guide. You'll find this configuration in the
example data in the About Joomla menu. Let's say we're writing a short book consisting of three chapters.
The navigation should be linked to all pages and look like figure 2.

Preparation
Create a book structure with a few chapters.

The Joomla book
•

•

•
How to use B
•
Templates
Before creating menu items, you have to create individual articles (pages) first. Go to Content → Article
Manager → Add new article (Figure 3). You may assign the uncategorized category to these articles or you can
create a book category in advance and assign it to the chapters.
