  • Language. Item's language. If you are not using the multi-language feature of Joomla, default is 'All'.

At the top you will see the toolbar:

The functions are:

  • Publish. Makes the selected category available to visitors to your website.
  • Unpublish. Makes the selected category unavailable to visitors to your website.

Archived category can be moved back to the published or unpublished state by selecting "Archived" in the Select Status filter and changing the status of the category to Published or Unpublished as preferred.
  • Check-in. Checks-in the selected category. Works with one or multiple category selected.
  • Batch. Batch processes the selected category. Works with one or multiple items selected.

  • Trash. Changes the status of the selected category to indicate that they are trashed. Trashed category can still be recovered by selecting 'Trashed' in the 'Select Status' filter and changing the status of the category to Published or Unpublished as preferred. To permanently delete trashed category, select 'Trashed' in the 'Select Status' filter, select the category to be permanently deleted, then click the 'Empty Trash' toolbar icon.

List Filters

Filter by Partial Title

You can filter the list of items either by typing part of the title or the ID number.

If you have a large number of items on the list, you can use this filter to find the desired item(s) quickly. Enter either part of the title or an ID number and press 'Search' to display the matching items. You can enter in whole words or part of a word. For example, "ooml" will match all titles with the word "Joomla!" in them.

Filter Status, by Access, Language, Tag and Max Levels

In the upper right area, above the column headings, there are 4 drop-down list boxes as shown below:

The selections may be combined. Only items matching both selections will display in the list.
