Help5.x:Menu Item: Components Menu Container

2023-07-09T15:47:00Z

Alann: Create page from J4 version and amend for J5

<noinclude><languages /></noinclude>
<translate>
==Description==
The Components Menu Container is used to show a component container in the Administrator interface. A use case might be as follows:

Suppose you only wish to show certain users links to a subset of the Components on your site. Super Users will see links to everything of course. You can do this as follows:
* Create a new User Group named, say Branch, with Public as parent.
* Set the Global Permissions for this group to Allow Administrator Login.
* Create a new menu named, say, Branch Menu with no imported presets.
* Create a linked Module named, say, Branch Menu with menu to show as Branch Menu. Set Check Menu to No and Access to Public.
* Create a Components Menu Container menu item for the Branch Menu named, say, Branch Components.
** Hide any components that you do not wish the Branch users to see.
** Show those to which they should have access.
* Set the Component Permissions for the Branch Group to allowed for all except Configure ACL and Configure Options.
More information at: https://docs.joomla.org/J4.x:Adding_a_Custom_Administrator_Menu

For a Super User the Administrator menu will have an obvious duplication of links. However, a Branch user will only see the Branch Components menu and the Home Dashboard. You will need to adjust the Access permissions of the Quick Icon modules there too! And you really need to create a Dashboard module for any components Branch users have access to.

For users who need access to Articles you can add more menu items to the Branch Menu. In this way you can build a complete custom menu for Branch users.

==How To Access==
To create a new Component Container Menu Item:
* Select {{rarr|Menus,[name of the menu]}} from the Administrator menu.
* Select the '''New''' Toolbar button to create a new menu item.
* Select the Menu Item Type '''Select''' button [[File:Help-4x-Menu-Item-Type-Select-Button-en.png]]
* Select the '''List Component Container''' link from '''System Links''' in the Menu Item Type modal dialog.
To edit an existing Component Container Menu Item, select its Title in the Menu Items list.

Alann: Create page from J4 version and amend for J5

<noinclude><languages /></noinclude>
<translate>
==Description==

Overrides allow you to change a core Joomla string.

In the Joomla code, text strings that are to appear in the User Interface, either the Site interface or the Administrator interface, are expressed as string constants. For example, the string ''Your session has expired. Please log in again.'' is expressed as ''JLIB_ENVIRONMENT_SESSION_EXPIRED''. The text string can be translated into any language. The default language is British English. There are thousands of such strings in a Joomla installation.

If a string does not suit your site you can use the Language Override feature to replace the original.

==How to Access==
*Select {{rarr|System,Manage Panel,Language Overrides}}. Then...
**Select a '''Language and Client''' from the drop down list. Then...
***Select the '''New''' button in the Toolbar to create a new override. Or...
***Select the constant link in the '''Constant''' column to edit an existing override.

==Screenshot==

*'''Search Text.''' Enter the text to search for and select the '''Search''' button.
*'''Search Results.''' A list of strings containing the search term appears in a separate panel. Select the one you are looking for. The constant and text will be copied into the '''Create a New Override''' panel, labelled '''Edit this Override''' if you editing an existing override.

'''Left Panel: Create a New Override or Edit this Override'''
*'''Language Constant.''' This is the strings used in the code by the developer. If the value does not exist in the code the string will never be used.
*'''Text.''' This is where you override the default term with your version.
*'''File.''' This shows where the override file is located in the file system. You might need to know this for trouble-shooting.

==Toolbar==

Near the top of the page you will see the filter bar shown in the Screenshot above. The functions are:

*'''Save'''. Saves the item and stays in the current screen.

This tab is only present when the site is accessed using https. To set up passwordless login you need a hardware device, available from Amazon and similar outlets for about £15, or a device with fingerprint or face recognition or similar biometric software. You may add more than one authenticator. Once set up, you can login by clicking the Web Authentication button in the Login form and then pressing the button on the device when prompted.

This tab is present but cannot be used in the User edit form because passwordless login can only be set up by the individual user via the Edit Profile form.

=== Joomla API Token ===

This tab is used to manage the security tokens used for authenticating to the Joomla API application (remote access to your site). If you are not sure what this does chances are you don't need it and can safely ignore these settings.

The token is only visible for your own account.

=== Multi-factor Authentication ===
This tab allows you to set one or more methods to allow access to your account after login with Username and Password. It is only present when editing your own profile. There are several methods available. If you lose access to one method for any reason you can choose another method from the post-login verification screen. The alternative methods must have been set up in advance!

==== Backup Codes ====
This method generates a set of numbers that you can save or print. Each number can be used only once, so remember to amend your list after use.

==== Verification code ====
An extra form to fill out with alternative methods of setting up the code. Have a look and click the Cancel button if you decide not to proceed.

==== Yubi Key ====
This is for another type of hardware key that provides a code on a screen display. Have a look and select Cancel if you decide not to proceed.

==== Web Authentication ====
For a hardware device with a button to press. Have a look and select Cancel if you decide not to proceed. Note that this method will be bypassed if you use the separate WebAuthn Login method.

==== Code by Email ====

With this method a code is sent to your email address. You will be prompted to enter that code to gain site access. It is a one-time code. A new one is sent for every login. Have a look and select Cancel if you decide not to proceed.

== Toolbar==

Help5.x:Users: Edit Viewing Access Level

2023-07-09T13:19:53Z

Alann: Create page from J4 version and amend for J5

<noinclude><languages /></noinclude>
<translate>

==Description==
Access levels control which users can view which objects on your site. Objects include menu items, modules, categories, and component items (articles, contacts, and so on). Each object in the site is assigned to one access level. User groups are also assigned to each access level.

If a user is a member of a group that in turn has permission for an access level, then that user can view all objects assigned to that access level. It is important to understand that user groups can be arranged in a parent-child hierarchy. If so, then a child group has access to all access levels that the parent group has access to. So you don't need to assign a child group access to levels that its parent group already has access to.

==How to access==
* Select {{rarr|Users,Access Levels}} from the Administrator menu. Then...
** Select a link from the '''Level Name''' column to edit an existing level. Or...
** Select the New button to create a new access level.

==Screenshot==
[[Image:help-4x-users-user-manager-add-new-viewing-access-level-en.png|600px]]

== Level Details ==
*'''Level Title:''' Enter a Title for this Access level.
*'''User Groups With Viewing Access''' Check any Group to have this Access Level.

==User Groups With Viewing Access==
Select a check box to add a user group to a viewing level. In the example shown all Groups are children of Public so it not necessary to check any of the child groups. They inherit the Public access permissions.
This feature should only be used for custom groups!

== Toolbar==

At the top of the page you will see the toolbar shown in the [[#Screenshot|Screenshot]] above. The functions are:

*'''Save'''. Saves the item and stays in the current screen.

*'''Save & Close'''. Saves the item and closes the current screen.

*'''Save & New'''. Saves the item and keeps the editing screen open and ready to create another item.

*'''Cancel'''. Closes the current screen and returns to the previous screen without saving any modifications you may have made.

*'''Help'''. Opens this help screen.

==Quick tips==
*If you add a new group, you may need to edit any access levels that this group should have access to.

Help5.x:Users: New or Edit Group

2023-07-09T13:13:45Z

Alann: Create page from J4 version and amend for J5

<noinclude><languages /></noinclude>
<translate>
==Description==

Joomla! is installed with set of User Groups suitable for management of standard sites. The default groups should not be edited! New groups can be created for special purposes. For example, you may wish to create a group allowed access to one component only.

==How to access==
* Select {{rarr|Users,Groups}} from the Administrator menu. Then...
** Select the '''New''' button from the Toolbar. Or...
** Select a link from the '''Group Title''' column to edit an existing group.

==Screenshot==
[[Image:help-4x-users-user-manager-add-new-user-group-en.png|800px]]

== User Group Details ==
*'''Group Title:''' Enter a Title for the Group.
*'''Group Parent:''' (''Public''/''Guest''/''Manager''/''Administrator''/''Registered''/''Author''/''Editor''/...). Choose a Parent for this Group.

User Groups control what actions a user can take on the site. Actions include things like creating a new article, changing options for a component, or logging in. The site administrator assigns permissions for various actions to each group. Permissions for actions can be assigned at different levels in the component hierarchy (Global Configuration, component options, categories, and articles). If a user does not have permission for a given action, the user cannot perform that action.

User groups also control which objects a user can view on the site. Objects include categories, articles, modules, menu items, and others. When you create an access level, one or more user groups are assigned to it. Then, when you create an object (such as a menu item or module), the object is assigned an access level. If a user is a member of a group that is assigned to an access level, this user can view any object assigned to that access level. If not, then that user cannot view that object.

User groups can be arranged in a hierarchy. If so, then all child groups inherit the action permissions and access levels of a parent group. If used wisely, this feature can save a lot of time setting up your security system, since it means that you don't have to enter duplicate setup information.

== Toolbar==
At the top you will see the toolbar shown in the Screenshot above. The functions are:

*'''Save'''. Saves the item and stays in the current screen.

*'''Save & Close'''. Saves the item and closes the current screen.

*'''Save & New'''. Saves the item and keeps the editing screen open and ready to create another item.

*'''Cancel'''. Closes the current screen and returns to the previous screen without saving any modifications you may have made.

*'''Help'''. Opens this help screen.

==Quick tips==
*If a new group will have similar permissions to an existing group, you can save work by making the new group a child of the existing group. That way, you only need to change the permissions that are different for the new group.

The Home Dashboard consists of configurable panels providing access to many default Joomla functions and features.

==How to access==

{{rarr|Backend,Login}}

==Screenshot==
:[[File:Help-4x-Home-Dashboard-screen-en.png|800px|none]]

==Modules==

The sub-panels that make up the Home Dashboard illustrated above are Administrator modules. Each can be unpublished via its configuration icon or published via the list of administrator modules.

More modules can be added to suit the Administrator's purposes. [[Help4.x:Modules/en|Learn more.]]

===Examples===

'''Site'''

The left part of each icon links to the list of items. The right part, the Plus symbol, links to the form to create a new item.
*[[Help5.x:Users/en|Users]]. Create/delete users, change passwords, modify language and time preferences, and switch which WYSIWYG editor the user has access too. You can also assign users to User Groups, limiting to which aspects of the site they have access.
*[[Help5.x:Articles/en|Articles]]. Manage all of your current articles.
*[[Help5.x:Articles:_Categories/en|Article Categories]]. Create new categories, and publish/unpublish existing ones.

Help5.x:Menus

2023-07-09T12:47:17Z

Alann:

<noinclude><languages /></noinclude>
<translate>

==Description==
Menus allow a user to navigate through the site. A menu is an object which contains one or more menu items. Each menu item points to a logical page on the site. A menu module is required to place the menu on the page. One menu can have more than one module. For example, one module might show only the first level menu items and a second module might show the level 2 menu items.

The Menus list provides an overview of the menus available on a Joomla site. This includes the details of each individual menu's number of items published, unpublished and trashed, and the names of linked modules.

The process for adding a menu to the site is normally as follows:
# Create a new menu (using this screen).
# Create one or more new menu items for the menu. Each menu item will have a specific menu item type.
# Create one or more menu modules to display the menu on the site. When you create the modules, you will select which menu items (pages) the modules will show on.

==How to Access==
* Select {{rarr|Menus,Manage}} from the Administrator menu.

==Screenshot==
[[Image:Help-4x-menus-menu-manager-menus-en.png|800px]]

==Column Headers==
Clicking on the title of a column will sort the table view by the column. A down arrow next to the column title means ascending order and an up arrow means descending order. The default sort is by '''ID#''' in ascending order.
{{:Chunk4x:Help screen column header Checkbox/en}}
*'''Title'''. The name of the menu.
*'''# Published'''. Number of published menu items in this menu.
*'''# Unpublished'''. Number of unpublished menu items in this menu.
*'''# Trashed'''. Number of trashed menu items in this menu.
*'''Linked Modules'''. Lists any menu modules associated with the menu. The column shows the module's name, access level, and position on template.
{{:Chunk4x:Help screen column header Id/en}}

==Toolbar==

At the top of the page you will see the toolbar shown in the [[#Screenshot|Screenshot]] above. The functions are:

*'''New'''. Opens the editing screen to create a new menu.

*'''Edit'''. Opens the editing screen for the selected menu. If more than one menu is selected (where applicable), only the first menu will be opened. The editing screen can also be opened by clicking on the Name of the menu.

*'''Delete:''' Deletes the selected menus. Works with one or multiple menus selected. Deleting a menu also deletes all the menu items it contains and any associated menu modules. On clicking Delete you will be asked to confirm that you want to delete the selected menus. Clicking OK button will delete the menus. Click Cancel to abort the deletion.

*'''Rebuild.''' Reconstructs and refreshes the menu table. Normally, you do ''not'' need to rebuild this table. This function is provided in case the data in the table becomes corrupted.

*'''Options.''' Opens the Options window where settings such as default parameters can be edited. See [[S:MyLanguage/Help5.x:Components_Menus_Configuration|Menus Configuration]].

*'''Help'''. Opens this help screen.

==Quick Tips==
* It is expedient to give a descriptive title for new menus because, later, you will see it in the ''Backend Menus'' menu. It is a good idea to fill in the ''Description'' field with information about the menu. If you enter a short title in the ''Module title'' field, you can identify the menu's module using that title in the Module Manager.
* Though you can create a copy of a selected menu by clicking the ''Copy'' toolbar button, you can make another instance in the Module Manager as well.
* When you create a new menu, use only English alphanumeric characters without space in the Unique Name field. It is a good idea using only a-z, 0-9 and underscore (_) characters.
* If you don't enter a ''Module title'', no module will be created and the menu cannot be displayed in the front end. However you can use the Module Manager later to create a new mod_mainmenu module, and assign it to the menu.
* If you delete an existing menu, do not forget that all the menu items of the respective menu will be also deleted.
* The Main Menu has your default menu item, so it '''should not be deleted'''. The default menu item is defines the page that is displayed when you visit www.''yoursite''.com, and your site will not function if it is deleted. It is usually your Home menu item but it can be set to any menu item including a menu item in a hidden menu. If you change the default menu item, make sure that you don't delete that menu item either! The menu with the default menu item is marked with an asterisk (*) in the ''Menus'' menu.

:[[File:Help-4x-Home-Dashboard-screen-en.png|800px|none]]

==Modules==

The sub-panels that make up the Home Dashboard illustrated above are Administrator modules. Each can be unpublished via its configuration icon or published via the list of administrator modules.

More modules can be added to suit the Administrator's purposes. [[Help4.x:Modules/en|Learn more.]]

===Examples===

'''Site'''

The left part of each icon links to the list of items. The right part, the Plus symbol, links to the form to create a new item.
*[[Help4.x:Users/en|Users]]. Create/delete users, change passwords, modify language and time preferences, and switch which WYSIWYG editor the user has access too. You can also assign users to User Groups, limiting to which aspects of the site they have access.
*[[Help4.x:Articles/en|Articles]]. Manage all of your current articles.
*[[Help4.x:Articles:_Categories/en|Article Categories]]. Create new categories, and publish/unpublish existing ones.
*[[Help4.x:Media/en|Media]]. Manage files on your web server. You can delete existing files or upload different ones from your hard drive. You can also create new directories on your web server's file system.

*'''Number to Display.''' Shows the number of items in a list. The default for a site is 20 but this may be changed in the global configuration. Select from the drop-down list to change the number displayed. If you select too many complex items they will be slow to deliver and display.
'''Filter Options'''
*'''Filter by published status.'''

==Toolbar==

At the top of the page you will see the toolbar shown in the Screenshot above. The functions are:

*'''Actions:''' Reveals a list of actions for selected Items. Check one or more Item checkboxes to activate the list.

*'''Enable'''. Makes the selected item available for use on your website.

*'''Disable'''. Makes the selected items unavailable for use on your website.

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

Help5.x:Information: Database

2023-07-08T14:44:04Z

Alann: Create page from J4 version and amend for J5

<noinclude><languages /></noinclude>
<translate>
==Description==
This screen checks that your database table structure is up to date with your Joomla programs and lets you try to fix any problems that are found.
In a normal Joomla version update, changes to the database table structure (also called "schema") are done automatically to keep the database version synchronized with the Joomla version. If an update is done manually, or if some part of an automatic update fails, the database schema might not be updated to match the version of the Joomla program files. In this case you will see a list of database problems on the screen. You can normally fix any problems by clicking on the Fix button.

==How to Access==
*Select {{rarr|System,Information Panel,Database}} from the Administrator menu.

==Screenshot==
[[Image:help_5x_extension_manager_database_screen-en.png|800px]]

==Column Headers==
*'''Checkbox.''' Check this box to select one or more items. To select all items, check the box in the column heading. After one or more boxes are checked, click a toolbar button to take an action on the selected item or items. Many toolbar actions, such as Publish and Unpublish, can work with multiple items. Others, such as Edit, only work on one item at a time. If multiple items are checked and you press Edit, the first item will be opened for editing.
*'''Name.''' The name of the extension.
*'''Location.''' Specifies if this is a site or administrator extension.
*'''Type.''' The extension type - module, plug-in, template, language.
*'''Problems.''' Any problems will be mentioned here. A hover Tooltip provides more information.
*'''Database Version.''' The version number of the Database.
*'''Manifest Version.''' The version number of Joomla or Extension.
*'''Folder.''' If the extension is a plug-in, the subdirectory of your Joomla! installation's /plugins directory where the extension is located.
*'''ID.''' The ID number. This is a unique identification number for this item assigned automatically by Joomla!. It is used to identify the item internally, for example in internal links. You cannot change this number.

==List Filters==

'''Search bar'''. Near the top of the page you will see the search bar shown in the [[#screenshot|Screenshot]] above.
*'''Search by Text'''. Enter part of the search term and click the Search icon. ''Hover'' to see a ''Tooltip'' indicating which fields will be searched.{{-}}To 'Search by ID' enter "id:x", where "x" is the ID number (for example, "id:19").
*'''Filter Options'''. Click to display the additional filters.
*'''Clear'''. Click to clear the Filter field and restore the list to its unfiltered state.
*'''Ordering'''. Shows the current list ordering field. 2 ways to change the order:
**Select from the dropdown list. Ordering may be in ascending or descending order.
**Click a column heading. The column heading toggles between ascending and descending order.
*'''Number to Display'''. Shows the number of items in a list. Select from the dropdown list to change the number displayed.{{-}}The default for a site is '20' but this may be changed in the [[S:MyLanguage/Help5.x:Site_Global_Configuration{{#translation:}}#defaultlistlimit|Global Configuration]].
'''Filter Options'''

You can use one of the available filters or any combination of them to limit the number of extensions displayed to just the extensions which match your filter parameters.
*'''Select Location.''' Select Site, Administrator or API from the dropdown list of available locations.
*'''Select Type.''' Select the extension type from the dropdown list box of available types.
*'''Select Folder.''' Select a plug-in folder from the dropdown list box of available folders. There is a separate folder for each type of plug-in defined in your Joomla installation.

Page Controls. When the number of items is more than one page, you will see a page control bar near the bottom of the page shown in the Screenshot above. The current page number being viewed has a dark colour background.

*'''Start.''' Click to go to the first page.
*'''Prev.''' Click to go to the previous page.
*'''Page numbers.''' Click to go to the desired page.
*'''Next.''' Click to go to the next page.
*'''End.''' Click to go to the last page.

==Toolbar==

At the top of the page you will see the toolbar shown in the [[#Screenshot|Screenshot]] above. The functions are:
*'''Update Structure'''. This program attempts to fix any database table structure problems found in the Database check. It runs any database schema change scripts (from the folder <code>administrator/components/com_admin/sql/updates</code>) that were not run during the version update. It then re-checks whether or not the database is up to date. If it is successful, the message "Database table structure is up to date" will show.

*'''Options.''' Opens the Options window where settings such as default parameters can be edited.

*'''Help'''. Opens this help screen.
==Quick Tips==
* If you experience problems during an update, use this Database check to see if your database got updated correctly.
* It is strongly recommended that you use the [[S:MyLanguage/Help5.x:Joomla_Update{{#translation:}}|Joomla Update]] component to update your site. This way the database changes will be done automatically.

==Related Information==
* You can check for available updates in the [[S:MyLanguage/Help5.x:Joomla_Update{{#translation:}}|Joomla Update]] component or in the [[S:MyLanguage/Help5.x:Site_Control_Panel{{#translation:}}|Control Panel]].
