|-
|| 00:01
|| Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on '''Article Options in Joomla.'''

|-
|| 00:06
|| In this tutorial, we will learn about: Status of an '''article''', Publishing Options for an '''article''' and
Global Options for '''Articles'''

|-
|| 00:17
|| For this tutorial, I will be using:'''Ubuntu''' 14.04, '''Joomla''' 3.4.1, '''Apache''', '''MySQL''' and '''PHP''' obtained through '''XAMPP''' 5.5.19

|-
|| 00:34
|| To follow this tutorial: Ensure that you know how to create '''articles''' in '''Joomla'''. If not, check the relevant '''Joomla''' tutorials on the '''Spoken Tutorial''' website.

|-
|| 00:46
|| Earlier, we learnt to create, edit, copy and delete an '''article''' in '''Joomla'''.

|-
|| 00:53
||Now, let’s learn some other options for these '''articles'''.

||-
|| 00:57
||| Let’s switch to the '''Joomla Control Panel .'''

|-
|| 01:00
|| Click on '''Article Manager. '''

|-
|| 01:03
||Here are our previously created '''articles''': '''“Benefits of Sodium”''' and '''“Vitamin A”'''

|-
|| 01:10
|| Let us check if they are visible on the '''homepage.'''

|-
|| 01:14
|| Click on '''Digital India''' at the top right of the page.

|-
|| 01:22
|| You can see '''“Benefits of Sodium”''' here but not '''“Vitamin A”. '''Why is this so? This is because we had made '''“Benefits of Sodium”''' a '''featured article.'''

|-
|| 01:33
||Let us now make the '''article “Vitamin A”''' also as '''featured.'''

|-
|| 01:38
||Go back to '''Article Manager page.'''

|-
|| 01:42
||Click the '''Featured''' attribute, i.e, the star in the featured column, for the '''article “Vitamin A”.'''

|-
|| 01:49
|| Let me undo this change by clicking on the '''Featured''' attribute once again.

|-
|| 01:54
||We can also '''feature''' an '''article''' by: checking the checkbox in the first column to the left of the '''article title'''

|-
|| 02:01
||And then clicking on '''Featured''' button in the top menu.

|-
|| 02:05
||Notice that the yellow star has appeared in the '''featured''' column.

|-
|| 02:09
||Now, switch to the '''Digital India''' homepage tab and press '''F5''' to refresh it.

|-
|| 02:15
||We can see that both the '''articles''' are visible now.

||-
|| 02:19
||Let us get back to the '''Article Manager ''' page.

|-
|| 02:22
||We will now learn a few more '''Article attributes.'''

|-
|| 02:26
|| Click on the '''article “Vitamin A”''' to reach the '''Edit Article''' page.

|-
|| 02:31
|| Here is a field named '''Status.''' What does it indicate?31

|-
|| 02:36
|| Whenever an '''article''' is created, the status takes the default value '''“Published”. '''

|-
|| 02:42
|| A '''featured''' article is displayed on a website because its status is '''Published.'''

|-
|| 02:48
||So are our two '''articles''', as of now.

|-
|| 02:51
||What happens if the status of an '''article''' to '''Unpublished?'''

|-
|| 02:56
||Switch back to the '''Article Manager ''' page.

|-
|| 02:59
||We are in the '''Edit Article''' of '''“Vitamin A”.'''

|-
|| 03:02
||Let us change the status of our article '''“Vitamin A”''' to '''Unpublished. '''

|-
|| 03:07
|| Click on the '''Save & Close''' button.

|-
|| 03:10
|| Switch to the '''Digital India''' web page and refresh the page.

|-
|| 03:14
||Notice that the '''article “Vitamin A”''' is no longer visible here.

|-
|| 03:19
|| Switch to the '''article manager''' page again.

|-
|| 03:23
|| Let us learn about the third value of '''Status''', i.e. '''Archived.'''

|-
|| 03:28
||For a change, let's now modify the status of '''“Benefits of Sodium”''' to '''Archived.'''

|-
|| 03:34
||Click on the title '''“Benefits of Sodium”.'''

|-
|| 03:38
||Now click on the '''Status''' drop-down and set the '''Status''' to '''Archived.'''

|-
|| 03:43
||Click on save and close button.

|-
|| 03:46
|| Come back to the '''Article Manager.'''

|-
|| 03:49
||'''“Benefits of Sodium”''' has now been removed from the '''Articles''' list of '''Article Manager'''.

|-
|| 03:55
|| Verify that it is also no longer displayed on the '''homepage''', either.

|-
|| 04:00
|| So where has the '''article''' gone?

|-
|| 04:02
|| Come back to the '''Article Manager.'''

|-
|| 04:05
|| To view '''archived articles''', we will need to use a filter.

|-
|| 04:10
|| To the right of search box, we can see '''Search Tools''' button.

|-
|| 04:15
|| Click on it. It will show a number of search filters.

|-
|| 04:20
|| Click on the '''Select Status''' filter.

|-
|| 04:23
|| Let's set the filter to '''Archived.'''

|-
|| 04:26
|| Now we can see our '''article “Benefits of Sodium”''' listed here.

|-
||04:31
|| An '''article''' when archived becomes a part of the historical data.

|-
|| 04:36
|| You can re-publish it whenever required.

|-
|| 04:40
|| The status of an '''archived article''' can be directly set to '''Unpublished''' or '''Published''', as well.

|-
|| 04:47
||To do so, first hover the mouse over the '''Status''' column, as shown.

|-
|| 04:52
||You can see a small tooltip here, which says '''“Unpublish Item”'''.

|-
|| 04:57
||Click on the left icon in the '''Status''' column.

|-
|| 05:00
||Notice that we cannot see the '''article''' now.

|-
|| 05:00
||This is because the '''Status''' filter is still set to '''Archived'''.

|-
|| 05:09
||Let’s remove the filter by clicking on the '''Clear''' button next to '''Search Tools'''.

|-
|| 05:15
||We can now see the '''article “Benefits of Sodium”''' listed here.

|-
|| 05:20
||Notice that the '''status''' icon has now changed.

|-
|| 05:24
||The newly acquired status indicates that the '''article''' is now ready for publishing.

|-
|| 05:30
||In a similar manner, you can get the list of '''Published, Unpublished''' and '''Trashed articles'''.

|-
|| 05:37
||Let me first change the status of the '''article “Benefits of Sodium”''' back to '''Archived'''.

|-
|| 05:43
||Click on the checkbox to the left of the title.

|-
|| 05:46
||Now click on the '''Archive''' button in the toolbar on top.

|-
|| 05:51
||A misset appears which says the article has been archived

|-
|| 05:56
||An '''Archived''' or '''Unpublished article''' can still be viewed and edited in the '''Article Manager'''.

|-
|| 06:03
||Let’s change the '''status''' filter back to '''Archived'''.

|-
|| 06:07
||Click on the archived '''article “Benefits of Sodium”.'''

|-
|| 06:11
||Let’s append this sentence at the end of given text.

|-
|| 06:15
||'''“The daily consumption of sodium, however, depends on a number of factors.”'''

|-
|| 06:21
||I will change the status of this '''article''' from '''Archived''' to '''Published.'''

|-
|| 06:26
||Then click on '''Save & Close.'''

|-
|| 06:29
||Let us now select '''All''' in '''Select Status''' filter.

|-
|| 06:34
||This will show all the '''articles''', irrespective of their status.

|-
|| 06:39
||Notice the status of all the '''articles''' here.

|-
|| 06:42
||Also notice the '''article “Sodium”''' that we had deleted or trashed in the earlier tutorial.

|-
|| 06:49
||Explore whether you can change its status on your own.

|-
|| 06:53
||The other available filters here are '''Category, Levels, Access, Author, Language''' and '''Tag.'''

|-
|| 07:02
||We will learn about them in later tutorials. Let’s move ahead.

|-
|| 07:08
||Click on '''“Vitamin A”''' from '''Articles''' list.

|-
|| 07:12
||We are in the '''Edit Article''' page.

|-
|| 07:15
||Let’s change the status of the '''article''' to '''Published'''.

|-
|| 07:19
||On the right of the '''Content''' tab, we can see the tab '''Publishing'''.

|-
|| 07:24
||Click on it. This records the meta-data of the '''article'''.

|-
|| 07:29
||We will look at some of the important ones.

|-
|| 07:33
||The option '''Created by''', displays the name of the creator.

|-
|| 07:37
||In our case it is '''Super User'''.

|-
|| 07:40
||We will learn to change it by using '''Select User''' button later.

|-
|| 07:45
||Notice 3 different date fields here- '''Created Date''', '''Start Publishing''', '''Finish Publishing'''

|-
|| 07:53
||'''Created Date''' by default, is the date on which the '''article''' was created.

|-
|| 07:58
||'''Start Publishing''' is the date on which the '''article''' will be published or made visible on the homepage.

|-
|| 08:05
||That means, the date from which its status will be automatically set to '''Published'''.

|-
|| 08:11
||By default, this date is set to '''Created Date'''.

|-
|| 08:16
|||'''Finish Publishing''' is the date on which the '''article''' will cease to be visible on the homepage.

|-
|| 08:22
||That means, the date from which its status will be automatically set to '''Unpublished'''.

|-
|| 08:28
||By default, it is set to blank.

|-
|| 08:31
||It means, an '''article''' is available forever, by default.

|-
|| 07:36
||Notice here, that '''Created Date''' and '''Start Publishing''' date are the same.

|-
|| 08:41
||To change these dates, open the '''calendar''' by clicking the '''calendar''' icon, on the extreme right.

|-
|| 08:48
||Let me change the '''Created Date''' to today’s date: 18 January 2016.

|-
|| 08:55
||Click on the '''Save & Close''' button.

|-
|| 08:58
||Go to the '''homepage''' and refresh it.

|-
|| 09:01
||The date of creation of the '''article''' is now 16 January 2016.

|-
|| 09:07
||Here are 2 small assignments for you.

|-
|| 09:10
||'''Assignment 1''' is to open the calendar of '''Start Publishing''' date.

|-
|| 09:15
||Select the date as a future date. Save the changes.
|-
|| 09:20
||Go to the Homepage and refresh it.

|-
|| 09:23
||Check the '''article''' list and understand what has happened.

|-
|| 09:28
||'''Assignment 2'''. Now come back and change the date to a date prior to the '''Creation Date'''.

|-
|| 09:35
||Once again, save the changes and observe the changes on the '''Homepage.'''

|-
|| 09:40
||Understand what has happened.

|-
||09:43
||Before exploring further, let us learn a few more details regarding an '''article'''.

|-
|| 09:50
||Switch to '''homepage''' and refresh it.

|-
|| 09:54
||All the '''articles''' are listed here, along with their details in the header.

|-
|| 09:58
||What exactly has been shown?

|-
|| 10:01
||Observe that the '''Title''' of an '''article''' is clickable.

|-
|| 10:05
||Let me click on '''Vitamin A'''.

|-
|| 10:08
||Now the article '''Vitamin A''' has opened on a full page.

|-
|| 10:13
||At the bottom, there is a link to the '''Next article'''.

|-
|| 10:17
||Category of this '''article''' says it is '''Uncategorised''' and this is also a hyperlink.

|-
|| 10:24
||I will click on '''Uncategorised.'''

|-
|| 10:27
||And now we are re-directed to a page with all the '''articles''' belonging to the category '''Uncategorised'''.

|-
|| 10:34
||Here are our '''articles''' and they are both '''Uncategorised''', by default.

|-
|| 10:39
||Let us now see how we can remove this '''header information''' from all the '''articles'''.

|-
|| 10:45
||Come back to the '''Article Manager''' page.

|-
|| 10:48
||Here click on the '''Options''' button in the toolbar, towards the extreme right.

|-
|| 10:54
||It will open another page with the title '''“Article Manager Options”'''.

|-
|| 11:00
||On the top left, are the options to '''Save, Save & Close''' and '''Cancel''' the changes made on this window.

|-
||11:08
||These settings are '''global''' options and apply to all '''articles''', unless changed specifically.

|-
||11:15
||'''Show Title''' shows the '''Title''' of the '''article'''.

|-
||11:18
|||By default, it is set to '''Show.'''

|-
||11:21
||Let's set it to '''Hide''' and click on '''Save'''.

|-
||11:25
||Go to the '''Digital India''' web page and refresh the page.

|-
||11:29
||Notice that the '''Title''' is no longer visible.

|-
||11:33
||Go back to the '''admin panel'''.

|-
||11:36
||Set '''Show Title''' to '''Show'''.

|-
||11:39
||Next let’s set '''Linked Titles''' as '''No'''.

|-
||11:43
||This will remove the '''Title hyperlink'''.

|-
||11:46
||We will skip '''Show Intro text ''' option for now.

|-
||11:50
||'''Show Category''' and '''Link Category'''. Show the '''category''' in the header and also makes it a hyperlink.

|-
||11:58
||Let's choose'''No''' option for '''Linked Category.''' '''Hide''' option for '''Show Category'''

|-
||12:05
||Save these changes.

|-
||12:07
||Go to the '''Digital India''' tab in the browser. Press '''F5'''.
Highlight the title.

|-
||12:11
||Observe that the '''category''' information is no longer visible. And the '''Title''' is no longer a '''hyperlink'''.

|-
||12:19
||Go back to the '''article manager.''' page

|-
||12:22
||Explore all the other options in the '''settings''' on your own and note what happens.

|-
||12:28
||Now scroll down to see the last section of the '''settings''' window.

|-
||12:32
||These options enable us to show or hide the '''print''' and '''email''' icons.

|-
||12:38
||Let’s go to the '''Digital India''' web page

|-
||12:42
||On the extreme right side of the '''article''', notice a button with a small wheel and down arrow.

|-
||12:49
||Click on this button.

|-
||12:51
||We can see 2 options: '''Print''', '''Email'''.

|-
||12:55
||Click on the '''print''' icon.

|-
||12:57
||This will open a new window with only the '''article''' and '''print''' button on the right.

|-
||13:03
||Clicking on the '''print''' button will open the default '''print''' dialog box.

|-
||13:08
||The further procedure is the same, as for any print job.

|-
||13:12
||Let's cancel the printing now.

|-
||13:15
||We will learn about the '''email''' option in another tutorial, later.

|-
||13:20
||Return to the '''control panel'''.

|-
||13:24
||The '''Show Icons, Show Print Icon''' and '''Show Email Icon''' are all set to '''Show''', by default.

|-
||13:29
||You can change the settings as per your requirement.

|-
||13:33
||Notice, there is an option here to show the number of '''Hits'''.

|-
||13:37
||This indicates the number of times the '''article''' has been viewed.

|-
||13:41
||We will discuss '''Show Unauthorised Links and Positioning of the Links''' in another tutorial.

|-
||13:47
|||Let’s save all the '''settings''' now by clicking on '''Save & Close'''.

|-
||13:52
||Go the web page and refresh the page, to see all the changes that we made.

||13:59
||Let us recap. In this tutorial, we learnt about: Status of an '''article''', '''Publishing''' options for an '''article''' and '''Global options''' for '''articles.'''
