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

|-
|| 00:06
|| In this tutorial, we will learn about: '''Category Manager''' in '''Joomla''', Creating and editing '''categories''' and creating '''sub-categories'''

|-
|| 00:16
|| We will also learn how to: Assign '''articles''' to '''categories''', Move or copy '''articles''' to a different '''category.''', And delete or unpublish a '''category.'''

|-
|| 00:27
|| This tutorial is recorded using: '''Ubuntu Linux OS''' 14.04, '''Joomla''' 3.4.1, '''Apache, MySQL''' and '''PHP''' obtained through '''XAMPP''' 5.5.19

|-
|| 00:43
|| Learner of this tutorial should know how to create an '''article''' in '''Joomla'''

|-
|| 00:48
|| If not, pls refer to the relevant '''Joomla''' tutorials on the '''Spoken Tutorial''' website.

|-
|| 00:55
|| Let’s switch to the '''Joomla control panel.'''

|-
|| 00:58
|| Click on '''Article Manager''' in the left menu.

|-
|| 01:01
|| We currently have 2 '''articles - Vitamin A''' and '''Benefits of Sodium.'''

|-
|| 01:08
|| In order to understand '''categories''' in '''Joomla''', let’s create a few more '''articles'''.

|-
|| 01:14
|| Pause this tutorial and do this assignment.

|-
|| 01:17
|| Open the '''assignment-text''' file provided with this tutorial.

|-
|| 01:21
|| Follow the instructions to create 4 new '''articles''': '''Vitamin B''', :'''Benefits of Nutrients''', :'''Fish''' and, :'''Green Vegetables'''.

|-
|| 01:31
|| We now have 6 '''articles''' in '''Article Manager:''' :'''Vitamin A''', :'''Vitamin B''', :'''Benefits of Sodium''', :'''Benefits of Nutrients ''', :'''Fish''' and, :'''Green Vegetables'''.

|-
|| 01:43
|| The 2 '''articles''' on '''Vitamins''' are similar in content.

|-
|| 01:47
|| So, we should group them together.

|-
|| 01:50
|| '''Categories''' in '''Joomla''' help to organize the '''articles''' in a logical order.

|-
|| 01:55
|| Click on '''Categories''' in the left menu.

|-
|| 01:59
|| Alternately, click on '''Content Menu''' at the top and then on '''Category Manager.'''

|-
|| 02:06
|| Notice that the '''Category Manager''' has a similar layout as that of the '''Article Manager.'''

|-
|| 02:11
|| It has a '''Search''' box and '''Search Tools''' button to filter the '''Categories.'''

|-
|| 02:17
|| By default, we have one '''category''' called '''Uncategorized.'''

|-
|| 02;21
|| Recollect that all our '''articles''' appeared as '''Uncategorized.'''

|-
|| 02:26
|| To create a new '''category''', click on the '''New''' button on the top left.

|-
|| 02:31
|| The only mandatory field to create a '''category''' is the '''Category Title.'''

|-
|| 02:36
|| I will write '''Vitamin''' as the title in the title textbox.

|-
|| 02:40
|| Click on '''Save and Close'''

|-
|| 02:43
|| You can see that the new '''category''' has now been created.

|-
|| 02:47
|| To edit or rename a '''category''', click on the title of the '''category.'''

|-
|| 02:52
|| I will rename the title to '''Vitamins.'''

|-
|| 02:56
|| This time let’s click on '''Save and New''' button.

|-
|| 03:00
|| We are prompted to add a new '''category.'''

|-
|| 03:03
|| Let’s type '''Minerals''' as the title.

|-
|| 03:06
|| Then click on '''Save and Close.'''

|-
|| 03:09
|| Now, '''Minerals''' and '''Vitamins''' are nutrients that our bodies need.

|-
|| 03:13
|| Let us put them in a broader '''category Nutrients.'''

|-
|| 03:17
|| Click on New and type '''Nutrients''' as the title.

|-
|| 03:23
|| Then click on '''Save and Close'''.

|-
|| 03:26
|| Let us put '''Vitamins''' and '''Minerals''' under the category '''Nutrients'''.

|-
|| 03:31
|| A '''category''' under another '''category''' is called '''subcategory.'''

|-
|| 03:36
|| Select the two '''categories''' by clicking the check-box to the left of the '''status''' column.

|-
|| 03:42
|| We can batch process these 2 '''categories'''.

|-
|| 03:45
|| Batch processing means working on things in groups.

|-
|| 03:48
|| Click on '''Batch''' button in the toolbar at the top.

|-
|| 03:52
|| A new window with the title '''Batch Process the Selected Categories''' opens.

|-
|| 03:58
|| It has many options.

|-
|| 04:00
|| For now, we are only going to change the '''parent category''' of these '''categories'''.

|-
|| 04:05
|| So, select '''Nutrients''' in the '''Select Category for Move/ Copy''' drop-down.

|-
|| 04:11
|| There are 2 '''radio buttons''' below the drop-down, namely: '''Copy''', '''Move'''

|-
|| 04:17
|| '''Copy''' will make a copy of the selected '''categories''' in the selected '''category'''.

|-
|| 04:22
|| '''Move''' will move the '''category''' from their previous '''category''' to the selected '''category'''.

|-
|| 04:27
|| Let's select '''Move''' and then click on '''Process.'''

|-
|| 04:31
|| Notice a hyphen in front of '''Vitamins''' and '''Minerals categories'''.

|-
|| 04:35
|| This indicates that they are '''subcategories''' of the main '''category Nutrients.'''

|-
|| 04:41
|| Pause the tutorial here and do this assignment.

|-
|| 04:44
|| Create a new '''category Carbohydrates''', Click on '''Parent''' drop-down on the right and select '''Nutrients''', Click on '''Save and Close'''.

|-
|| 04:54
|| Notice that this is another way to assign '''categories''' and '''subcategories''' to a '''parent category.'''

|-
||05:01
||Now, we have a '''Category tree.'''

|-
|| 05:03
|| There are 2 main '''categories''': '''Uncategorized''', and '''Nutrients'''.

|-
|| 05:09
|| Under '''Nutrients'''. we have 3 '''sub-categories''': '''Vitamins,''' '''Minerals''' and '''Carbohydrates'''

|-
|| 05:16
||Now, let us learn how to organize various '''articles''' under different '''categories'''.

|-
|| 05:22
|| From '''Category Manager''', click on '''Articles''' in the left menu.

|-
|| 05:22
|| Select the two '''vitamin articles''' by clicking the check-box to the left of the '''Status''' column.

|-
|| 05:34
|| Click on '''Batch''' button in the toolbar on top.

|-
|| 05:38
||A new window with the title '''Batch Process the Selected Articles''' opens.

|-
|| 05:44
|| Select '''Vitamins''' in '''Select Category for Move/ Copy''' drop-down

|-
|| 05:59
|| Let's select '''Move''' and then click on '''Process''' button.

|-
|| 05:53
|| Notice that the '''category''' for our '''articles Vitamin A''' and '''Vitamin B''' has changed.

|-
||06:00
||Let us change the '''category''' of '''Benefits of Sodium''' to '''Minerals'''.

|-
|| 06:05
|| Click on the title '''Benefits of Sodium.'''

|-
|| 06:09
|| In the '''Category''' drop-down on the right, select '''Minerals''', then click on '''Save and Close.'''

|-
|| 06;17
|| Note that the '''category''' of '''Benefits of Sodium''' has been changed to '''Minerals.'''

|-
|| 06:23
|| Pause the tutorial here and do this assignment. Click on '''Benefits of Nutrients article''', Change the '''category''' to '''Nutrients.''', Click on '''Save and Close.'''

|-
||06:35
||Now it’s time to check all these changes on the '''Digital India''' webpage.

|-
|| 06:40
|| Before that, ensure that '''Show Category''' is set to '''Show''' for the '''articles.'''

|-
|| 06:45
|| Click on '''Options''' button in the toolbar at the top right corner.

|-
|| 06:50
|| Set '''Show Category''' to '''Show''' and '''Link Category''' to '''Yes.'''

|-
|| 06:57
|| Click on '''Save and Close.'''

|-
|| 07:00
|| Now, click on the '''Digital India''' link at the top right.

|-
|| 07:05
|| Notice that the '''articles''' have different '''Category''' names in their '''header.'''

|-
|| 07:10
|| Click on the '''Category Nutrients''' in the '''article''' header of '''Benefits of Nutrients'''.

|-
|| 07:16
|| Observe that it lists one '''article''' and 2 '''subcategories''' –
'''Vitamins''' and '''Minerals.'''

|-
|| 07;23
|| This is how we had organized the '''categories.'''

|-
|| 07:27
|| Note that the category '''Carbohydrates''' is not visible here.

|-
|| 07:31
|| A '''category''' having neither '''articles''' nor '''subcategories''' is an empty '''Category.'''And hence it is not visible on the webpage.

|-
|| 07:40
|| Can we relax this restriction?

|-
|| 07:42
|| Let us see how to change the settings to get the empty '''categories''' displayed.

|-
|| 07:48
|| Switch to the '''Article Manager''' webpage.

|-
|| 07:51
|| Click on the '''Categories''' in the left menu to go to the '''Category Manager.'''

|-
|| 07:56
|| Click on '''Options''' button in the toolbar on right.

|-
|| 07:58
|| Note that the '''Category Manager Options''' page is the same as '''Article Manager Options.'''

|-
|| 08:06
|| Even the title says '''Article Manager Options.'''

|-
||08:10
||There are tabs in this page to control the settings of '''articles, categories, menus''' etc.

|-
|| 08:17
|| Click on the tab '''Category.'''

|-
||08:20
||The tab will show the settings of the page, which shows all '''articles''' under a particular '''category.'''

|-
|| 08:26
|| Scroll down to see the option '''Empty Categories'''.

|-
|| 08:30
|| Set this as '''Show.'''

|-
|| 08:32
|| Click on '''Save and Close'''

|-
|| 08:35
|| Switch to the '''‘Digital India’''' webpage and refresh it.

|-
|| 08:40
|| Look, the '''Carbohydrates subcategory''' is now visible.

|-
|| 08:44
|| Go back to the '''Category Manager''' webpage.

|-
|| 08:47
|| The '''subcategory Carbohydrates''' does not have any '''articles''' under it.

|-
|| 08:52
|| We can either: '''Unpublish''' it or Delete it.

|-
|| 08:57
|| Let’s understand the difference between the two options.

|-
||09:01
||When we '''unpublish''' a '''category''': No new '''article''' can be assigned to that '''category'''.

|-
|| 09:07
|| All its '''subcategories''' are automatically unpublished and '''Articles''' under the '''category''' are no longer visible on the website, even if they are published.

|-
|| 09:18
|| When we delete a '''category''': It is moved to '''Trash''', along with all the '''articles''' under it.

|-
|| 09:24
|| A deleted '''category''' can be restored again or the same could be trashed permanently.

|-
|| 09:31
|| Come back to the '''Category Manager''' webpage

|-
|| 09:34
|| Since we are not using the '''category Carbohydrates''', let's unpublish it for now.

|-
|| 09:40
|| Locate the '''category Carbohydrates''' from the '''Categories Manager''' page.

|-
|| 09:45
|| Now select it by clicking the check-box to the left of the '''Status''' column.

|-
|| 09:50
|| Click on the '''Unpublish''' button in the toolbar on top.

|-
|| 09:54
|| Immediately, a success message appears.

|-
|| 09:58
|| Observe that the status of the '''category Carbohydrates''' has changed to '''Unpublished'''.

|-
||10:04
||Let us go back to the '''Digital India''' webpage and verify this.

|-
|| 10:08
|| Switch to the '''Digital India''' webpage and refresh it.

|-
||10:12
||Notice that the '''category Carbohydrates''' is no longer visible.

|-
|| 10:16
|| This is because it has been '''unpublished.'''

|-
|| 10:20
|| Let us summarize.

|-
|| 10:22

|-
|| 10:32
