Time Narration
00:01 Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Creating Articles in Joomla.
00:07 In this tutorial, we will learn about :

Article Manager,

create a new article,

edit an article,

make a copy of an article and

delete an article.

00:22 For this tutorial, we will be using:

Ubuntu 14.04,

Joomla 3.4.1,

Apache, MySQL and PHP obtained through XAMPP 5.5.19.

00:40 To follow this tutorial, ensure that Joomla 3.4.1 is installed in your system.
00:49 Let's open Joomla administrative panel first.
00:54 So, go to the browser and type: http colon double slash localhost slash joomla slash administrator.
01:08 Press Enter.
01:10 Enter your User Name and password and click on Log in button.
01:16 I will enter my username as admin and password as admin123.
01:25 Click on Log in
01:28 We are now on the Joomla Control Panel.
01:32 We can see the Control Panel menu on the left-hand side of the screen.
01:39 Let's go to the Article Manager page.
01:43 There are 2 ways to reach the Article Manager page.
01:47 Click on Article Manager menu, in the Joomla Control Panel.
01:53 Or, click on Content in the top menu and then click on Article Manager.
02:02 Notice there are some buttons on the toolbar.
02:07 You can use these to create, modify and delete articles.
02:13 You can also archive, publish and unpublish them.
02:19 Let us now learn how to create an article.
02:23 There are 2 ways to create an article in Joomla, from the Article Manager page.
02:30 Click on the New button on the toolbar of the Article Manager page.
02:36 Or, click on Content in the top menu, then Article Manager and then the sub-menu Add New Article.
02:47 I will click on the New button in the toolbar on the top left.
02:53 We are now on the new article creation page.
02:58 This page has few buttons on the toolbar.
03:03 Values for a few fields are to be provided in the panel, below the page title.
03:10 Title and Category are the mandatory fields while creating an article.
03:17 These are indicated by the all too familiar black asterix.
03:24 Let's create an article now.
03:27 Type Sodium as the title of the article.
03:32 We will put some text into the text box: Article Text.
03:37 You can put any text of your choice here.
03:41 I will copy the text that I have in my Gedit text editor and paste it in the Article text.
03:51 Next, select the Category field on the right-hand side of the screen.
03:57 Default value of the field is Uncategorised.
04:00 Let's leave it as it is.
04:04 There is a field called Featured which is a toggle button, with options Yes and No.
04:12 A featured article is one which will be displayed on the homepage of a website.
04:19 I will select Yes in the Featured menu.
04:24 Let's now save and close the article.
04:28 Go to the toolbar at the top left corner of the page.
04:33 There are various save options here.
04:37 Out of the given options, I will click on Save & Close.
04:43 Save & Close option will save the article and take us back to the Article Manager.
04:51 Let's open our webpage and see the article we have created.
04:57 On the top right on the administrative panel, there is a link Digital India. Click on it.
05:06 This is the site name that we gave for the website, during installation of Joomla.
05:14 We are now on our homepage and you can see the article Sodium that we created on the homepage.
05:24 Let's close the browser window and go back to the administrative panel.
05:30 Now, let us learn to edit an existing article.
05:34 We will edit the article that we have just created.
05:40 Look for the article in the Article Manager and click on its title.
05:47 Right now, we have only one article. So, we will click on the article Sodium.
05:54 It opens the page with the title: Article Manager: Edit Article.
06:01 I am going to add a line at the beginning of the text:
06:06 Sodium is one of the essential minerals required by our body.
06:12 This time, let us choose another option to save the changes in the article.
06:19 Click on Save in the toolbar.
06:24 It will save the article and load the page with Edit Article
06:30 which indicates that, the article is still open for editing.
06:35 Let's go to the website and verify our changes.
06:40 Click on Digital India link on the top right of the page.
06:45 Scroll down to see that the article is edited.
06:50 Close the browser window and go back to the administrative panel.
06:57 To make a copy of an existing article, there is an option Save as Copy in the toolbar.
07:06 Let us try it.
07:08 Click on Save as Copy button.
07:11 This creates a new article which is a copy of our original one- Sodium.
07:19 Note that the system has generated a new title, Sodium (2), for the copied article.
07:29 Let us give the copied article a title of our choice.
07:35 In the Title textbox, type: Benefits of Sodium.
07:43 Now select the Status as Published. Then click on the Save & Close option in the toolbar.
07:56 We are back to the Article Manager page.
08:00 See here, we have got a new article named Benefits of Sodium in our list.
08:09 Go to the webpage and verify that we have 2 articles on the homepage.
08:16 Click on the Digital India link, on the top right.
08:21 Scroll down to see 2 articles: Sodium and Benefits of Sodium.
08:29 Here is a small assignment for you.
08:32 Pause this tutorial and do it.
08:35 Click on the title Benefits of Sodium.
08:39 Append XYZ at the end of the text.
08:44 This time, choose the last icon, Close, from the toolbar.
08:50 In the Article Manager, open Benefits of Sodium again.
08:56 Verify that, this time the changes were not saved.
09:01 Close the article by clicking on Close again.
09:06 Now go back to the administrative panel.
09:10 We will now see how to delete an article in Joomla.
09:15 Since we have two articles, Benefits of Sodium and Sodium, let us delete one of them.
09:24 First, click on the check box on the left of the article Sodium.
09:31 In the toolbar, click on the button: Trash.
09:36 In the Article Manager, verify that the article Sodium is no longer in the list.
09:44 The article has been permanently deleted.
09:48 Go to the webpage and verify again if the article is present.
09:54 Click on Digital India link on the top right.
09:59 See that we have only 1 article here - Benefits of Sodium.
10:07 Let us recap. In this tutorial, we learnt about :

Article Manager,

create an article,

edit an article,

save a copy of an article and

delete an article.

10:23 Here are 2 small assignments for you.
10:27 Create two new articles as instructed below.
10:32 Go to the Create New Article page by clicking on the Content , then Article Manager and then sub-menu Add New Article.
10:44 Give the title Vitamin A to the new article.
