Tutorial<br>Custom Fields - Creating a Checkboxes Field</translate>}}
{{incomplete}}
<translate>
== Introduction ==

The Checkboxes Field provides one or more checkbox items which can be selected or deselected. It's useful for creating a consistent list of optional attributes for an item.

== Creating the field ==

We will create a Checkboxes Field for use in our articles.

From the Sidebar Menu in the Backend choose '''Content''' then '''Fields'''.

Before clicking the '''New''' button, check the dropdown list below the New button is set to '''Article''' - this is the default setting for use in the Article view.

[[File:j5.x_new_article_custom_field.png|Access article fields via the sidebar menu|300px]]

'''NOTE:''' Although this tutorial covers creating a checkboxes field for use in an article, the following steps are the same if you were creating one for use in the Contacts Component (remember to set the view before clicking new), the Users Component, or any other component which supports custom fields..

Click '''New'''.

The Field Editor will open on the '''General''' tab.

[[File:j5.x_new_checkboxes_field_general.png|Editor General Tab|800px]]

Enter a '''Title''' This should be specific to the purpose of the new field. Avoid generic titles in case you want to use other calendar fields in other places.

On the '''Type''' field choose '''Checkboxes'''.

The '''Name''' field will be filled in automatically on saving the field, but you can enter a different one. It should be lowercase and separated by hyphens.

The '''Label''' field is automatically set to be the same as the Custom Field Title but you can enter whatever you want. The value you enter is output on the Frontend if you choose to show the Label.

Add a '''Description''' if it will be useful. It is not required.

Set the '''Required''' Field to Yes or No with the toggle button. Setting to Yes will make the field a required one that cannot be skipped.

The '''Only Use In Subform''' field can be set to Yes if you only want the field available as a Subform child field.

The '''Default Value''' field can be set to have certain checkboxes checked when the field is first loaded. To check an item by default, enter the value in this field exactly as it appears in the subform below. To check multiple items, add multiple values separated by commas.

Special options within this field are:

* '''Checkbox Values''': This subform determines what checkboxes are available in an item.
** '''Text''': This is the text which will be displayed both with the checkbox in the edit form, as well as in the front end if it is selected.
** '''Value''': This optional field lets you specify the value of the checkbox, which can be used in the ''Default Value'' option, the ''Showon'' option in other fields, or in layout overrides. This is not displayed to the user or front end.

'''Please note: if you change the value of any checkbox items after the field is used in items, it could result in data loss. Proceed with caution.'''

At this point you have entered sufficient information to create the Custom Field and make it available for use.

== Save the Custom Field ==

Click '''Save & Close''' and the Custom Field is available to use.

== Using the field in the Backend ==

In the Article Editor select the Custom Fields tab to access the Custom Field. In the this example we have a Field Group named '''Aircraft''' that was assigned to the Category ''Aircraft''. As the Article is assigned to the Aircraft category, the Aircraft tab is available that will contain one or more Custom Fields assigned to that Field Group. If you are not using Field Groups look for a tab named '''Fields'''.

[[File:j5.x_field_group_editor_tab-en.png|Custom Fields Editor Tab in the Backend|800px]]

Once you have selected the tab it will display all the fields you have created. In this example we have Date Visited, as well as the Seating options field we just created. Note the asterisks symbol - it denotes that it is a required field (this is turned off or on in the field options when you create it).

Click the checkboxes for any options you would like to select. When you have done, save and close the article.

[[File:j5.x_backend_use_article_custom_field-en.png|Use Calendar Custom Field in the Backend|800px]]

== Frontend Output of the Checkboxes Custom Field ==

In the Frontend, you can see the field as you see in the following image. The option in ''Automatic display'' is responsible for the position of the field and your template is responsible for the layout of the field.

Fields are only displayed in the Frontend if you have filled them with data in the article. If it is not a required field, can you forget it?

[[File:j5.x_frontend_checkboxes_field_output-en.png|Checkboxes Custom Field Frontend Output|800px]]

'''Note''' that the output is displayed with a bullet point - this is the default layout and may look different dependent on your template.

It is possible to change the layout and date format by creating a template custom override.</translate>

Tutorial<br>Custom Fields - Creating a Calendar Field}}

== Introduction ==

The Calendar Field provides an input box for entry of a date. An icon next to the text box provides a link to a pop-up calendar, which can also be used to enter the date value.

It provides you with a way for Editors to enter dates that will be consistent in position and format, dependent on how you use it.

=== Related Information ===

See:

*[http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.date.php Date Formats]

== Creating the field ==

We will create a Calendar Field for use in our articles.

In this example we will add a visited date on our aircraft pages.

From the Sidebar Menu in the Backend choose '''Content''' then '''Fields'''.

[[File:j5.x_new_article_custom_field.png|Access article fields via the sidebar menu|300px]]

Before clicking the '''New''' button, check the dropdown list below the New button is set to '''Article''' - this is the default setting for use in the Article view.

'''NOTE:''' Although this tutorial covers creating a calendar field for use in an article, the following steps are the same if you were creating one for use in the Contacts Component (remember to set the view before clicking new) or for use in the Users Component.

Click '''New'''.

The Field Editor will open on the '''General''' tab.

[[File:j5.x_new_calendar_field_general.png|Editor General Tab|800px]]

Enter a '''Title''' This should be specific to the purpose of the new field. Avoid generic titles in case you want to use other calendar fields in other places.

On the '''Type''' field choose '''Calendar'''.

The '''Name''' field will be filled in automatically on saving the field but you can enter a different one. It should be lowercase and separated by hyphens.

The '''Label''' field is automatically set to be the same as the Custom Field Title but you can enter whatever you want. The value you enter is output on the Frontend if you choose to show the Label.

Add a '''Description''' if it will be useful. It is not required.

Set the '''Required''' Field to Yes or No with the toggle button. Setting to Yes will make the field a required one that cannot be skipped.

The '''Only Use In Subform''' field can be set to Yes if you only want the field available as a Subform child field.

If you use the '''Default Date''' the value can be an ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS) or NOW, which displays the actual date. '''Caution''': Even if you do not specify the time in the default date, the time is displayed when the option ''Show time'' is active.

Special options within this field are:

* Show time<br />If enabled, the calendar field expects a date and time and will also display the time. The formats are localized using the regular language strings.

== Restricting availability of the Custom Field ==

In the example shown we have set a Field Group of Aircraft. This means the Custom Field will be available via a tab named Aircraft in the Article Editor.

The Custom Field has also been set to use the Aircraft category. This means the Custom Field will only be available in articles set to the Aircraft category.

At this point you have entered sufficient information to create the Custom Field and make it available for use.

== Calendar Custom Field Options ==

=== Form Options ===

Options for using the Custom Field Form.

'''Placeholder''' - You can add a placeholder to guide authors.

'''Field Class''' - You can add a class used in your CSS style sheet to style the field.

'''Label Class (Form)''' - You can add a class used in your CSS style sheet to style the label in the form.

'''Editable In''' - Set for Frontend Editing, Backend Editing or both.

=== Display Options ===

Options for the display of the Custom Field Output on the Frontend.

'''Display Class''' - You can add a class that is used in your style sheet to target the container that holds or wraps the field.

'''Value Class''' - You can add a class that is used in your style sheet to target the styling of the field.

'''Label''' - Show or hide the Custom Field Label.

'''Label Class (Output)''' - You can add a class that is used in your style sheet to target the the styling of the Custom Field Label that is output.

'''Automatic Display''' - This is closely linked to the Component Output.

* ''After Title'' places the field output after the Component Title (after the article title, contact title or user title)

* ''Before Display Content'' (above the article, contact, or user content)

* ''After Display Content'' (below the article, contact, or user contact)

Note that these 3 settings assume default Joomla! output and could look different with other templates or if Custom Overrides are in use.

* ''Do not automatically display'' will only display the output where you choose to display it by using Joomla's Insert Field function or your custom overrides if you use them.

'''Prefix''' You can add a Prefix to be output before the Custom Field output.

'''Suffix''' You can add a Suffix to be output after the Custom Field output.

'''Layout''' If they are used, you can select an alternative layout for the Custom Field

'''Display when Read-Only''' If you need to hide the field - this relates to user access control levels (ACL)

== Save the Custom Field ==

Click '''Save & Close''' and the Custom Field is available to use.

== Using the field in the Backend ==

In the Article Editor select the Custom Fields tab to access the Custom Field. In the this example we have a Field Group named '''Aircraft''' that was assigned to the Category ''Aircraft''. As the Article is assigned to the Aircraft category, the Aircraft tab is available that will contain one or more Custom Fields assigned to that Field Group. If you are not using Field Groups look for a tab named '''Fields'''.

[[File:j4.x_field_group_editor_tab-en.png|Custom Fields Editor Tab in the Backend|800px]]

Once you have selected the tab it will display all the fields you have created. In this example we have only the Date Visited field we created. Note the asterisks symbol - it denotes that it is a required field (this is turned off or on in the field options when you create it).

Click the calendar icon to open the calendar date picker and select the date. When you have done, save and close the article.

[[File:j4.x_backend_use_article_custom_field-en.png|Use Calendar Custom Field in the Backend|800px]]

== Frontend Output of the Calendar Custom Field ==

In the Frontend, you can see the field as you see in the following image. The option in ''Automatic display'' is responsible for the position of the field and your template is responsible for the layout of the field.

Fields are only displayed in the Frontend if you have filled them with data in the article. If it is not a required field, can you forget it?

[[File:j4.x_frontend_calendar_field_output-en.png|Calendar Custom Field Frontend Output|800px]]

'''Note''' that the output is displayed with a bullet point - this is the default layout and may look different dependent on your template.

It is possible to change the layout and date format by creating a template custom override.

</translate>
<translate> In the table containing the User Actions Log from your Joomla! site, you will see different columns. Here you can read what they mean and what is displayed in that column. You can sort the results by clicking on the title of a header.</translate>
#<translate> '''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.</translate>
#<translate> '''Action.''' The action performed by the user on your site (who did what)</translate>

Alternatively, click on the column heading to sort the list by that column's value. This will also change the value in the drop field to correspond with the column header name. The list will then be sorted in order by that column and a sort icon(up or down arrow) will show next to the column name. Click a second time to reverse the sort, which will change the corresponding drop field.</translate>

#<translate> '''ID Descending''' (default). Shows ordering of selected column, ascending or descending.</translate>
#<translate> '''Number of items to display''' (default is 20). Shows the number of items to display on one page, default is 20 items. If there are more items than this number, you can use the page navigation buttons located at the bottom of the table.

</translate>
<translate> In the table containing the User Actions Log from your Joomla! site, you will see different columns. Here you can read what they mean and what is displayed in that column. You can sort the results by clicking on the title of a header.</translate>
#<translate> '''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.</translate>
#<translate> '''Action.''' The action performed by the user on your site (who did what)</translate>
#<translate> '''Extensions.''' The extension used to perform this action</translate>
#<translate> '''Date.''' Date and time when the action was performed</translate>
#<translate> '''Name.''' Name of the user who performed the action</translate>
#<translate> '''IP Address.''' The ID Address of the user who performed the action. ''Note: This column is displayed only when the option '''IP logging''' is set to '''Yes''' in the component options''</translate>
#<translate> '''ID.''' This is a unique identification number for this action assigned automatically by Joomla. It is used to identify the item internally, and you cannot change this number.</translate>

<translate>
==Column Filters== 
</translate>
<translate> Above the column headers on the right, there are 2 drop down input fields, '''Sort Table by:''' (preset to ID descending), and a '''number''' (preset to 20) to display.</translate>

<translate> These column sorting input fields shows the current method of sorting applied to the table. Use the drop down field choices and click the column heading name. Alternatively, click on the column heading to sort the list by that column's value. This will also change the value in the drop field to correspond with the column header name. The list will then be sorted in order by that column and a sort icon(up or down arrow) will show next to the column name. Click a second time to reverse the sort, which will change the corresponding drop field.</translate>

#<translate> '''ID Descending''' (default). Shows ordering of selected column, ascending or descending.</translate>

(Start, Prev, Next, End, and page numbers) to navigate between pages.</translate>

<translate>

== Using Media Manager ==
From the Home Dashboard, when first entering the administrator console, '''Media Manager''' is reached by clicking on the '''Media''' Button in the Site Panel. See image below:

[[File:Sitepanel.jpg|frame|left|Site Panel showing Media Manager Button]]

After clicking on this button, you will then be presented with the '''Media Manager'''. You will notice a lot of changes from earlier versions of Joomla!, all for the better making this core tool very useful. Read on and see what you can do simply now with no need for extra components or using other tools for preparing your graphics. The image below shows the '''Media Manager''' Screen with the default graphics loaded. These will be found in the /images directory and it is advised not to change this path, especially if you have already been working in here as all your graphic links will be broken.

[[File:mediamanagerpanel.jpeg|frame|none|Default Media Manager Screen View]]

It is made up of the following sections starting at the top left:
# Upload Button
# Create New Folder Button
# Delete Button
# Options Button
# Help Button
# Folder Menu
# Main Media Panel

These will be explained in much more detail later on in the documentation. For those Joomla! Users who have used '''Media Manager''' before, I would like to take a quick look at the functions now available when mousing over a file and then clicking on the choice button as below:
