J1.5:Restricting access to "read more"

2009-03-10T12:07:05Z

M.husek:

If you create a new menu item with the '''Blog Layout''' linked to you category or section or if you publish few articles on your '''Homepage''' and set intro text parameter to more than zero, a set of Intro texts will be displayed with '''Read More''' links on that page. By clicking on the Read More link you will get to the full article view.

It can be useful to restrict access to the full article view for not registered visitors and leave just the intro texts readable to public. To restrict access to full article view, do the following:

# Log in to the Administrator back-end.
# Go to '''Content > Article Manager'''.
# Set the '''Access Level''' for the article with Read More link to ''Registered'' ( simply click the ''Public'' link in the Access Level column).
# In the same window click the '''Parameters''' icon from the top toolbar.
# Set the '''Show Unauthorized Links''' to ''Yes'' and '''Save''' the settings. This is a global setting and will apply to all published articles.

Splitting a long Article into multiple linked pages

2009-03-09T16:23:23Z

M.husek:

Splitting up long articles into sections is a helpful way of presenting content. Joomla! can be used to split Articles into multiple pages which are linked using Previous and Next page navigation and also a Table of Contents section which is displayed as part of the Article.

To split a long Article into multiple linked pages:
#Open the Article for editing either by:
#* Click the '''Content > Article Manager''' menu item to go to the ''Article Manager'', select the Article and click the ''Edit'' toolbar button.
#* Clicking the ''Add New Article'' button in the Control Panel.
#* If logged in to the Front-end, you have appropriate permissions and are viewing the Article you wish to edit: Click the ''Edit'' toolbar button.
#Locate the position in the content where the first page should end with the cursor.
#Click the ''Pagebreak'' editor button at the bottom of the page. The ''Insert Pagebreak'' screen will open.
[[Image:PageBreak.PNG]]
#Enter the ''Page Title'' and ''Table of Contents Alias'' as required:
#*'''Page Title''': Allows you to enter a sub title for the page displayed after the Article title. If left blank the main Article title will be used.
#*'''Table of Contents Alias''': Used to give a shortened name for the Table of Contents which is displayed as part of multiple page Articles. If left blank the link will be displayed as '''Page #'''.
#Click the ''Insert Pagebreak'' button. The screen will close and a horizontal rule will be inserted to show the location of the Pagebreak.
#*To close the Insert Pagebreak screen without inserting a Pagebreak click the ''X'' close button.
#Repeat steps 2-5 for each Pagebreak required.
#*To remove a Pagebreak delete the horizontal rule using the delete or backspace keys.

It is not possible to edit the Page Title and Table of Contents Alias using the content editor once it has been inserted. To modify the Pagebreak you can do one of the following:
*Delete and re-insert the pagebreak using the process described above.
*Edit the raw HTML of the Article using the editor and modify the '''title''' and '''alt''' attributes of the relevant '''<nowiki><hr></nowiki>''' HTML tag.
