[[Image:Help16-plugin_manager-edit-screen.png]]

==Details==
The Details section is the same for all plug-ins and has the following fields:
*'''Plug-in Name.''' The Name of the Plug-in.
*'''Enabled.''' Whether or not this Plug-in is enabled.
*'''Access.''' Which user 'access levels' have access to this item. You can change an item's Access Level by clicking on its name to open it up for editing. The default user 'access levels' which come preconfigured with Joomla! are:
** Public: Everyone has access including website visitors who have not logged in
** Registered: Only users with registered status or higher will have access
** Special: Only users with author status or higher have access
*'''Ordering.''' A drop-down list of plug-ins of the same Type. The list of plug-ins is arranged by their current order. You can change this plug-in's order in relation to the other plug-ins by selecting the plug-in in the drop-down list that you want this plug-in to be ordered below.
*'''Plug-in Type.''' The Type of the Plug-in. This value cannot be changed.
*'''Plug-in File.''' The name of the Plug-in file. Each Plug-in has two files with this name. One has the file extension '.php' and the other has the file extension '.xml'.
*'''ID.''' The Plug-in's 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.
*'''Description.''' The description of what this Plug-in does. This cannot be changed. The developer of the plug-in specifies this. This may be blank if the developer did not specify a description for the plug-in.

==Options==
If the plug-in has configurable options they will appear to the right of the details section. Usually you will see ''Basic Options'' which are general options which need to be configured for the basic operation of the plug-in. You may also see ''Advanced Options'' which are additional configurable options available for the plug-in which allows further customization of the plug-in. Finally you may see ''Language Options'' which are options related to the language functions of your Joomla! installation.

==Toolbar==
At the top right you will see the toolbar:

* '''Save.''' Save it and return to editing the plug-in details.
* '''Save & Close.''' Save it and return to the previous screen. If you have been working on a screen for a long time and don't want to risk losing your work, pressing ''Save & Close'' saves your work and lets you continue working. If, for example, you lost your Internet connection, your work will be saved up to this point.
* '''Close.''' Return to the previous screen without saving your work. If you press ''Close'' while adding a new item, this new item will not be created. If you were modifying an existing item, the modifications will not be saved.
* '''Help.''' Opens this Help Screen.

==Plug-in Descriptions and Options==
When Joomla! is installed, many plug-ins are included in the installation. These are described below, along with any options for the plug-in.

===Authentication - Joomla===
This plug-in processes the default User Authentication method in Joomla!. It has no options.

===Authentication - GMail===
This plug-in processes User Authentication using GMail accounts. It has the following options:

[[Image:help16-plugin_manager-edit-gmail-options-screen.png]]
* '''Apply Username Suffix.''' This options allows you to automatically apply a suffix to the username a person enters when they log into your Joomla! installation. The suffix is the portion of the email address after the ''@'' symbol.
* '''Username Suffix.''' This is the suffix portion of the GMail email addresses which will be used to log into your site. This is the portion of the mail address after the ''@'' symbol. Usually you will set this to ''gmail.com'' for regular GMail accounts. This option is present to allow you to use other GMail accounts that don't end in the typical ''gmail.com'' suffix. This would be the case with Google Apps for Domains email accounts.
* '''Verify Peer.''' When your Joomla! installation attempts to verify the entered Gmail username it does so over an SSL connection. This option configures whether or not your Joomla! installation will check to ensure the CA certificate of the SSL connection is valid before proceeding with verification of the entered username/password. In some situations certificate verification fails in which case you can try setting this option to ''No'' to try to fix this.
* '''User Blacklist.''' A comma separated list of usernames not allowed to log into your Joomla! installation.

'''To use the GMail plug-in:'''
* Create a Joomla! user account with the same username as a GMail account user. For example if the GMail email address of the person you want to add is bob1234@gmail.com you would create the Joomla! user account with the username ''bob1234''.
* Enable the GMail Plug-in.
* Logout of Joomla!.
* Login using the GMail username (without "@gmail.com") and the GMail password.

===Authentication - LDAP===
This plug-in processes User Authentication against an LDAP server. It has the following options:

*'''Follow Referrals.''' Whether to set the LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS flag to Yes or No. For Windows 2003 hosts this must be set to No.
*'''Authorization Method.''' "Bind Directly as User" or "Bind and Search".
*'''Base DN.''' The Base DN of your LDAP server.
*'''Search String.''' A query string used to search for a given User. The [search] keyword is replaced by the login typed by the User. For example: "uid=[search]". More than one Search String can be entered. Separate each by a semi-colon ";" character. This is only used when searching.
*'''User's DN.''' The [username] keyword is dynamically replaced by the username typed by the User. An example string is: "uid=[username], dc=[my-domain], dc=[com]". More than one string can be entered. Separate each with a semi-colon ";" character. This is only used if the Authorization Method above is set to "Bind Directly as User".
*'''Connect Username and Connect Password.''' These define connection parameters for the DN lookup phase. For anonymous lookup, leave both of these fields blank. For an Administrative Connection, the "Connect Username" is the username of an administrative account (for example, "Administrator"). In this case, the "Connect password" is the actual password to this administrative account.

==Screenshot==
[[Image:help16-plugin_manager-screen.png]]

==Column Headers==

If the list is sorted by this column, you can change the order by clicking the arrows or by entering the sequential order and clicking the 'Save Order' icon which looks like a little floppy disk. Note that the display order on a page is set in the 'Advanced Options' section for each menu item. If that order is set to use something other than 'Order' (for example, 'Title - Alphabetical'), then the order value in this screen will be ignored. If the menu item's order option is set to use 'Order', then the items will display on the page based on the order in this screen.
* '''Access.''' Which user 'access levels' have access to this item. You can change an item's Access Level by clicking on its name to open it up for editing. The default user 'access levels' which come preconfigured with Joomla! are:
** Public: Everyone has access including website visitors who have not logged in
** Registered: Only users with registered status or higher will have access
** Special: Only users with author status or higher have access
* '''Type.''' The Type of the plug-in. Some possible types are: authentication, content, editors, editors-xtd, search, system, and user. These are also the names of the website sub-directories where the plug-in files are located. For example, plug-ins with a type of 'authentication' are located in the website directory 'plugins/authentication'.
* '''Element.''' The plug-in directory name which contains the plug-in's files. This directory will be located in the directory which corresponds to its type. For example, the 'Authentication - Joomla' plug-in is of type 'Authentication' and element 'joomla'. So the website directory it is located in is 'plugins/authentication/joomla'
* '''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.
* '''Display #.''' The number of items to display on one page. Note that if you have a large number of items, it may be helpful to use the Filter options, located above the column headings, to limit which items display (where applicable).

==List Filters==
The list of plug-ins which appears on this screen may be very large. You can use one of the available filters or any combination of them to limit the number of plug-ins displayed to just the plug-ins which match your filter parameters.

'''Filter by Partial Name'''

You can filter the list of items by typing in all of part of its name. Or you can select a combination of Access Level, Enable/Disable State and Type.
* Filter. In the upper left corner just above the column headings is a Filter field and two buttons, as shown below:
[[Image:help16-plugin_manager-filter-name.png]]

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 all or part of the name 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 by Access, State and Type'''

In the upper right area, above the column headings, are 3 drop-down list boxes as shown below:

[[Image:help16-plugin_manager-filter-types.png]]

* Select Access. Select the 'Access Level' from the drop-down list box to only show plug-ins accessible by uses of the selected 'Access Level'
* Select State. Select a state (Enabled or Disabled) from the drop-down list box to show only plug-ins with the selected state.
* Select Type. Select a Type from the drop-down list box to show only plug-ins of the selected Type.

==How to access==
Navigate to the [[screen.modules.15|Module Manager]]. To create a new Module, press the "New" button on the toolbar. To edit an existing Module, click on the Module Name or click on the Module's checkbox and press the Edit button on the toolbar.

==Description==
This is where you will add new Modules or edit existing Modules for the front end of your Joomla! web site. When you install Joomla!, 20 built-in Modules are available for use in the front end of your web site. Some Modules, like the Menu Module, are used in every Joomla! web site. Other Modules are optional.

Note that all Module Types have the same fields in the Details and Menu Assignment sections. These are documented in the [[screen.modules.edit.15|Module Manager - New/Edit]] screen. Each Module Type has different Parameter fields. These are documented for each Module Type below.

==Screenshot==
[[Image:Module_new.png|frame|center]]
Note that if you install one or more Joomla! Extensions, these Extensions may add new Module Types. In this case, your screen will show additional Types.

==Module Types==
When the New button is pressed, the Module:[New] screen displays all of the Module Types available for the new Module. You can select the desired type either by clicking on the Module Name or by clicking on the Module's radio button and pressing the Next button on the toolbar. Note that you can cancel this action by pressing the Cancel button on the toolbar.

A standard Joomla! installation includes a number of default module types. Each has its own function and is described in detail on a separate page. Additional module types, not listed below, may also have been installed on your Joomla site. Help for those module types can be obtained by choosing the type then clicking on the Help toolbar button on the page that is then displayed.

Help17:Extensions Module Manager Edit

2012-04-06T13:06:29Z

Wgviana:

==How to Access==
Navigate to the [[screen.modules.15|Module Manager]]. To create a new Module, press the "New" button on the toolbar. To edit an existing Module, click on the Module Name or click on the Module's checkbox and press the Edit button on the toolbar.

==Description==
This is where you create new Modules or edit existing Modules. This screen has two links in the upper left: Site and Administrator. The Site link is selected by default. The Site link allows you to work with Modules that will be visible on your web site's Front-end. This is where you will place most of your Modules.

The Administrator link allows you to work with Modules that show on your web site's Back-end. In many cases, it is not necessary to modify the back-end Modules for Joomla!. All of the standard Joomla! administrator functions are available with no modifications here. You only need to make changes here if you want to change the standard administrator functions.

When you create a new Module, you will select the Module Type. This will determine what type of content this Module can display. If you edit an existing Module, the Module Type will already be determined. Note that you cannot change the Module Type of an existing Module.

For detailed information about each Module type for your web site, see the [[screen.modulessite.edit.15|Modules Site]] screen. For detailed information about modifying the Modules for the back end of your site, see [[screen.modulesadministrator.edit.15|Modules Administrator]].

All Modules have two sections that are the same: Details and Menu Assignment. The Parameters are different for each Module Type.

==Screenshot==
[[Image:Module new details.png]]

==Details==
*'''Module Type.''' This displays the system name of the module. No entry is allowed.
*'''Title.''' The Title of the Module.
*'''Show Title.''' Whether or not to show the Title of the Module.
*'''Enabled.''' Whether or not the Module is enabled. If "No", the Module will not be shown on the page.
*'''Position'''. The Position on the page to show the Module. There are two types of Positions you can use.
*#You can select a Position from the drop-down list box. The Positions in the list box are those provided by your Template. You can see the available Positions on the page by adding the letters "?tp=1" to the end of any front-end Joomla! URL. For example, if your home page is "www.mysite.com", you can type the URL "www.mysite.com?tp=1". The page will display with labeled rectangles indicating each pre-defined Position for the current Template.
*#You can type in a Position that is different from the pre-defined positions (for example, "myposition1"). This type of Position can be used to insert a Module into an Article. If you enter the code "{loadposition xxx}" inside the text of an Article, where "xxx" matches the Position of a Module, and if the Module is assigned to the the Menu Selection where the Article is displayed (see [[#Menu Assignment|Menu Assignment]] below), then the Module will be displayed at that point in the Article.
*'''Order.''' The Order that this Module will be displayed within the Position. If more than one Module is displayed at the same position, this will determine the order of display. The drop-down list box shows all Modules displaying at the current Position. Select the Module that you want the current Module to ''follow''.
**You can also change the order of display in the [[screen.modules.15|Module Manager]].
**The Module Order is only important when two or more Modules are displaying at the ''same Position'' and on the s''ame Menu Selections''.
{{colheader|Enter Access Level}}
{{colheader|Id}}
*'''Description.''' A description of what the Module does. No entry is allowed.

==Menu Assignment==
This is where you tell Joomla! which pages to show this Module on. This Module will show on the page when this Menu Item is selected. If the Menu Item allows the user to navigate to sub-pages, then this Module will also show on these sub-pages. For example, if the Menu item is a Blog Layout, the Module will also show when the user clicks on a "Read more..." link, an Article Link, or a Page Navigation link from that Blog Layout.
*'''Menus.''' "All" means show the current Module on all Menu Items. "None" means don't show the Module on any Menu Items. "Select Menu Item(s) from the List" allows you to select which Menu Items to show the Module on.
*'''Menu Selection.''' If "Select Menu Items(s) from the List" above is selected, select individual Menu Items that will display the Module.
**Use Ctrl+Click to select multiple Menu Items.
**Use Shift+Click to select a range of Menu Items.
**If you want to select most of the Menu Items, first click "All" above under Menus and then click "Select Menu Items(s) from the List". All of the Menu Items will be selected. Then use Ctrl+Click to deselect the Menu Items you don't want to include.

==Toolbar==

[[Image:banner_edit_toolbar.png]]
{{toolbaricon|Save}}
{{toolbaricon|Apply}}
{{toolbaricon|Close}}
{{toolbaricon|Help}}

==Quick Tips==
* You can insert a Joomla! Module inside an Article by typing "{loadposition xxx}", where "xxx" is the position entered for the desired Module. Note that the position name must not conflict with a position used by your Joomla! template. It can be any name (e.g., "mymoduleposition1") as long as it matches the position name typed in for the Module. The Menu Assignment for the Module must include the Menu Item where the Article is displayed, and the Plugin called "Content - Load Module" must be enabled (which it is by default). This feature allows you, for example, to insert a Custom HTML Module anywhere in an Article. See [[screen.content.edit.15|Article Manager - New/Edit]] for information about adding and editing Articles.
* You can easily change the order of display of Modules using the [[screen.modules.15|Module Manager]].

Wgviana:

==How to Access==
Select '''Extensions → Module Manager''' from the drop-down menu on the back-end of your Joomla! installation.

==Description==
The Module Manager is where you add and edit Joomla! Modules. In Joomla!, Modules are used to display content and/or media around the main content.

<b>Module Facts:</b>
#All Joomla! websites require at least 1 Menu Module
#All Other Module Types are Optional. (Examples: News, Banner, Latest News, Polls)
#Every Menu is accompanied by a menu module. (Example mod_mainmenu)
#Multiple occurrences of similar module types.
#Some Modules are linked to components. For example, each Menu Module is related to one Menu component. To define a Menu in Joomla!, you need to create the Menu and Menu Items using the Menus screens and then create the Module for the Menu using this screen. Other Modules, such as Custom HTML and Breadcrumbs, do not depend on any other content. See [[screen.modules.edit.15|Module Manager - New/Edit]] for information about the different Module Types.

The Joomla! installation is accompanied with 20 module types, additional 3rd party modules can be located at the [http://extensions.joomla.org/ JED].

*'''Client.''' Specifies if this is a site or administrator extension.
*'''Author.''' The author of this extension.
*'''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.
*'''Display #.''' The number of items to display on one page. Note that if you have a large number of items, it may be helpful to use the Filter options, located above the column headings, to limit which items display (where applicable).

==List Filters==
The list of extensions which appears on this screen may be very large. 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.

'''Filter by Partial Name'''

[[Image:help16-extension_manager-manage-filter-name.png]]

If you have a large number of extensions in the list, you can use this filter to find the desired extension(s) quickly. Enter either all or part of the extension name and press 'Search' to display the matching extensions. For example, "joom" will match all extension names with the word "Joomla!" in them. This filter is not case-sensitive.

'''Hide Protected Extensions'''

* Select folder. Select a plug-in folder from the drop-down list box of available folders. There is a separate folder for each type of plug-in defined in your installation of Joomla!.

* Select client. Select an extension client from the drop-down list box of available clients. There are two clients - Site and Administrator. Site clients are extensions which are designed for use in areas outside of the administrator interface. Administrator extensions are for the back-end administrative functions of your Joomla! installation. Usually you would only directly interact with these extensions through the administrator web interface.

==Toolbar==
At the top right you will see the toolbar:

[[Image:Help16-extension_manager-manage-toolbar.png]]
*'''Publish.''' Enable the selected extension(s).
*'''Unpublish.''' Disable the selected extension(s).
*'''Refresh cache.''' Refresh the information displayed for the selected extension(s).

*'''Discover.''' Links to the [[Help16:Extensions_Extension_Manager_Discover|Discover Screen]].
*'''Warnings.''' Links to the [[Help16:Extensions_Extension_Manager_Warnings|Warnings Screen]].

==Quick Tips==
* Throughout the administrator interface of Joomla! you will see the terms "Publish" and "Unpublish". ''Publish'' means the same thing as ''Enable'' or ''Activate''. ''Unpublish'' means the same thing as ''Disable'' or ''Deactivate''. You may see the terms used interchangeably in extension screens and help documentation you find online.
* Some information such as ''Date'' or ''Author'' may not be displayed for an extension. This is not a problem. It merely means the information was not specified by the extension developer in the extension's installation package.

Help17:Extensions Extension Manager Install

== Overview ==
This screen is accessed from the back-end Joomla! administrator panel. It is used to install extensions into your Joomla! installation. Some examples of extensions are plug-ins, components, and site templates.

==How to Access==
*Select '''Extensions → Extension Manager''' from the drop-down menu of the '''''Joomla! Administrator Panel'''''. Then select the '''Install''' menu item in the '''''Extension manager''''' screen that appears.

==Description==
Extensions are add-ons that expand the functionality of Joomla!. Extensions are used to add capabilities to Joomla! that do not exist in the standard package. Hundreds of Extensions are available for Joomla!, with more being developed all of the time.

Extensions are categorized into five types, as follows:
* A ''Component'' is a mini-application that renders the main body of the page. Examples of Components are Contacts, the Front Page, and News Feeds.
* A ''Module'' is a smaller Extension typically used for rendering a small element that displays across multiple pages. Examples of Modules include Menus and Related Items.
* A ''Plugin'' is a section of code that runs when a pre-defined event happens within Joomla!. For example, editors are Plugins that run when an edit session is opened.
* The ''Language'' Extension allows for the Front-end and Back-end of Joomla! to be presented in any language for which a language Extension exists. This way, Joomla! can be released in a new language with no changes to the core program.
* A ''Template'' controls the way the content of a web site is displayed, including the location and layout of elements, colors, fonts, and so on. Templates allow the appearance of the web site to be separated from its content.

The normal procedure for installing a Joomla! Extension is as follows:
# Download one or more archive files (normally ".zip" or "tar.gz" format) from the Extension provider's web site to a local directory on your computer. Note that some Extensions are installed as one file (for example, one Component or Module) while other Extensions might have two or more files (for example, a Component and a Module). If there are two or more parts, each one will have its own archive file.
# Choose one of the methods describe below ('''usually Package File''')
# When it is finished, the screen will display the message "Install Component Success". If the installation is not successful, an error message will display.
# Depending on the Extension, it may be necessary to enable the Extension (for example, in the [[Help16:Extensions_Module_Manager|Module Manager]] or [[Help16:Extensions_Plugin_Manager|Plugin Manager]]).

*'''Package File.''' (the common way)
*# Browse to the location where you downloaded the Extension's archive file.
*# Then press "Upload File & Install". Joomla! will read the contents of the archive file and install the Extension.

*'''Install Directory.''' As an alternative to installing from an archive file, you can follow the steps below:
*#Create a temporary directory on your local hard drive and unpack the Extension's archive file in this temporary directory.
*#Using FTP, upload the contents of this directory (including files and subdirectories) to a directory on your server.
*#In the ''Install Directory'' field specify the server directory where you uploaded the files and subdirectories of the package.
*#Click on the ''Install'' button and Joomla! will install the contents of the given directory.

*'''Install URL.''' A third alternative for installing an Extension is as follows. Instead of downloading the archive file to your local computer, just specify the URL of the target archive file. Then click the "Install" button and Joomla! automatically installs it directly from this URL. ''Note that, with this method, you will not have a copy of the archive file on your local computer.''

==Quick Tips==

*Three alternate installation methods are available, as indicated above. The most common one is the "Upload Package File" method.

*If you want to install a third-party Module or Plugin that belongs to a Component, you will generally need to install the Component as well as the Module or Plugin in order to use the Module or Plugin. This is normally documented in the Extension's installation instructions on the author's web site.

*Similarly, if you uninstall a third-party Component that also has its own Modules or Plugins, these Modules and Plugins can no longer be used. So it is normally recommended to uninstall these dependent Modules and Plugins as well.

*Some Components developed by third party developers may have their own Modules or Plugins included in the installer. In this case, make sure these Module or Plugin directories are writable. Otherwise the Extension will not work properly.

*<font color="#ff0000">'''SECURITY WARNING:''' It is recommended that you use only those third-party Extensions on your site that you really need. Do not use your live site for testing purposes because it may compromise your site and server. Test new extensions on a local test web site before deploying them on your live site.

*Do not install Joomla! Extensions downloaded from warez sites because they may be infected by a virus or malware that cause damage on the server and can contaminate the computer of your visitors!

*Installing from remote URL can be dangerous. For this reason, it is generally recommended that you use the "Upload Package File" or "Install from Directory" options when installing new Extensions.
</font>

==Related Information==
*If you install a Component Extension, it will be listed as a new Menu Item in the ''Components'' menu.

*You can assign a Menu Item to an installed Component Extension in the [[Help16:Menus_Menu_Item_Manager|Menu Item Manager]] by clicking the ''New'' toolbar button. The new Component will show in the Internal Link list of Menu Item Types.

*If you install a Module Extension, it will be added to the list of the Modules in the [[Help16:Extensions_Module_Manager|Module Manager]], where you can enable/disable it. You can also customize it's parameters in the [[Help16:Extensions_Module_Manager_Edit|Module Edit]] screen.

*An installed Plugin Extension will be added to the list of the [[Help16:Extensions_Plugin_Manager|Plugin Manager]], where you can enable/disable it. You can also customize its parameters in the [[Help16:Extensions_Plugin_Manager_Edit|Plugin Edit]] screen.

*An installed Template Extension will be added to the Site or Administrator list of the [[Help16:Extensions_Template_Manager_Styles|Template Manager]] where you can assign it to all of the pages or to the selected ones. You can also customize its parameters, edit the HTML or CSS source, or preview the available Module positions.

*An installed Language Extension will be added to the Site or Administrator list of the [[Help16:Extensions_Language_Manager_Installed|Language Manager]], depending on the client attribute of the Extension. This screen let's you assign it as the default language, if desired.

Help17:Extensions Extension Manager Discover

2012-04-06T13:05:05Z

Wgviana:

==Overview==
This screen is accessed from the back-end Joomla! administrator panel. It is used to discover and install extensions into your Joomla! installation. Some examples of extensions are plug-ins, components, and site templates.

==How to Access==
*Select '''Extensions → Extension Manager''' from the drop-down menu of the '''''Joomla! Administrator Panel'''''. Then select the '''Discover''' menu item in the '''''Extension manager''''' screen that appears.

==Description==
This screen allows you to discover extensions that have not gone through the normal installation process. This provides a method to install large extensions which are not possible to install using the normal process. For example, some extensions are too large in file size to upload using the web interface due to limitations of the web hosting environment. Using this feature you can upload extension files directly to your web server using some other means such as FTP or SFTP and place those extension files into the appropriate directory. You can then use the discover feature to find the newly uploaded extension and activate it in your Joomla! installation. Using the discover operation you can also discover and install multiple extensions at the same time.

==Screenshot==
[[Image:Help16-extension_manager-discover-screen.png]]

==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.
*'''Name.''' The name of the extension.
*'''Extension Type.''' The extension type - module, plug-in, template, language.
*'''Version.''' The version number of the Extension.
*'''Date.''' The date this extension was released.
*'''Folder.''' If the extension is a plug-in, the subdirectory of your Joomla! installation's /plugins directory where the extension is located. By default Joomla! 1.6 has the following subdirectories in the plugins directory which each represent the different types of plug-ins that are defined by default: authentication, content, editors, editors-xtd, extension, search, system, user.
*'''Client.''' Specifies if this is a site or administrator extension.
*'''Author.''' The author of this extension.
*'''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.

==Toolbar==
At the top right you will see the toolbar:

[[Image:Help16-extension_manager-discover-toolbar.png]]
*'''Install.''' Installs the selected extension.
*'''Discover.''' Searches the Joomla! installation directories for uninstalled extensions. Any uninstalled extensions found will be displayed in the extension listing. Caches the search results so they continue to be displayed on subsequent visits to this screen.
*'''Purge cache.''' Purges the cache of uninstalled extensions that were discovered. This will clear the listing of uninstalled extensions listed in this screen.
*'''Options.''' Opens the configuration window for the '''Extension Manager'''. In this window you can set '''Extension Manager''' access permissions for each user group specified in your Joomla! installation.
*'''Help.''' Opens this Help Screen.

'''Links to Other Screens'''

At the top left, you will see the following five links:

[[Image:Help16-extension_manager-discover-menu.png‎]]
*'''Install.''' Links to the [[Help16:Extensions_Extension_Manager_Install|Install Screen]].
*'''Update.''' Links to the [[Help16:Extensions_Extension_Manager_Update|Update Screen]].
*'''Manage.''' Links to the [[Help16:Extensions_Extension_Manager_Manage|Manage Screen]].
*'''Discover.''' Links to the [[Help16:Extensions_Extension_Manager_Discover|Discover Screen]].
*'''Warnings.''' Links to the [[Help16:Extensions_Extension_Manager_Warnings|Warnings Screen]].

==Outline==
An extension can be installed with the discover function by doing the following steps:
# Upload the uncompressed extension files to the appropriate directory in your Joomla! installation. For example, if you wanted to upload a site template extension to your Joomla! installation you would create a directory for the template extension in the /templates sub-directory of your Joomla! installation. Then you would upload the template extension files into that directory you created.
# After you have uploaded the extension files, go back to the Extension Manager Discover screen and click the '''Discover''' item in the toolbar. This will initiate the search function which will search your Joomla! extension directories looking for uninstalled extensions.
# If the extension you uploaded is compatible with Joomla! 1.6 and is not already installed, it will appear in the listing of discovered extensions in this screen.
# Click the check-box to the left of the discovered extension and then click the '''Install''' item in the toolbar. This will install the extension into your Joomla! installation.

==Quick Tips==
* If you have many extensions you want to install you can upload them all into the appropriate directories of your Joomla! installation and then use this screen to discover all of them in one operation. You can then install all of the extensions in one step by selecting all of them and pressing the '''Install''' item in the toolbar.

==Related Information==
*If you install a Component Extension, it will be listed as a new Menu Item in the ''Components'' menu.

*You can assign a Menu Item to an installed Component Extension in the [[Help16:Menus_Menu_Item_Manager|Menu Item Manager]] by clicking the ''New'' toolbar button. The new Component will show in the Internal Link list of Menu Item Types.

*If you install a Module Extension, it will be added to the list of the Modules in the [[Help16:Extensions_Module_Manager|Module Manager]], where you can enable/disable it. You can also customize it's parameters in the [[Help16:Extensions_Module_Manager_Edit|Module Edit]] screen.

*An installed Plugin Extension will be added to the list of the [[Help16:Extensions_Plugin_Manager|Plugin Manager]], where you can enable/disable it. You can also customize its parameters in the [[Help16:Extensions_Plugin_Manager_Edit|Plugin Edit]] screen.

*An installed Template Extension will be added to the Site or Administrator list of the [[Help16:Extensions_Template_Manager_Styles|Template Manager]] where you can assign it to all of the pages or to the selected ones. You can also customize its parameters, edit the HTML or CSS source, or preview the available Module positions.

*An installed Language Extension will be added to the Site or Administrator list of the [[Help16:Extensions_Language_Manager_Installed|Language Manager]], depending on the client attribute of the Extension. This screen let's you assign it as the default language, if desired.

A value of 'Use Global' means that either the setting from the Menu Item or the setting from the Global Configuration will control the action. A setting other than 'Use Global' will always control the action and override settings from these other areas. The setting here takes top priority. The setting in the Menu Item is second priority. The setting in the Global Configuration controls if both of the other setting are set to 'Use Global'.

{{toolbaricon|Preview}}
{{toolbaricon|Save}}
{{toolbaricon|Apply}}
{{toolbaricon|Close}}
{{toolbaricon|Help}}

==Quick Tips==
* The hierarchy of display parameters is as follows:
*# ''Parameters - Advanced'' for the specific Article. A setting other than 'Use Global' here always controls the setting.
*# ''Parameters - Component'' for the Menu Item. If the Parameters - Advanced above is 'Use Global' and this setting is not 'Use Global', then this controls the setting.
*# ''Global Configuration'' settings in the Article Manager/Parameters section. Settings here only apply if both of the above are set to 'Use Global'.
:Example: The 'Title Linkable' setting in the Article's 'Parameters - Advanced' section is set to 'Use Global'. The Menu Item is an Article Layout, and 'Title Linkable' in the 'Parameters - Component' is 'No'. The Global Configuration 'Title Linkable' is set to 'Yes'. The result will be 'Yes', since the Menu Item overrides the Global Configuration.
* You can add images using either the TinyMCE Insert/Edit Image icon or the Image button below the edit area. For adding new images in an Article, it is easier to use the Image button (below the edit area). This is because it lets you browse to the image file and also lets you upload images. However, for editing an existing image, you need to use the TinyMCE icon. The Image button only supports adding new images.
* 'Read more...' breaks allow you to save space on the Front Page or on any blog layout page by showing just the first portion of an Article. 'Pagebreaks' allow you to provide multi-page navigation for long Articles. You can use both on one Article, if desired. For example, you could put a 'Read more...' break after the first paragraph of a multi-page article, and have Pagebreaks after each page. No page navigation would display on the Front Page until the User selects the 'Read more...' link. At that time, the Article's table of contents would display showing links to every page.
* You can insert a Joomla! Module inside an Article by typing "{loadposition xxx}", where "xxx" is the position entered for the desired Module. Note that the position name must not conflict with a position used by your Joomla! template. It can be any name (e.g., "mymoduleposition1") as long as it matches the position name typed in for the Module. The Menu Assignment for the Module must include the Menu Item where the Article is displayed, and the Plugin called "Content - Load Module" must be enabled (which it is by default). This feature allows you, for example, to insert a Custom HTML Module anywhere in an Article. See [[screen.modules.edit.15|Module Manager - New/Edit]] for information about adding modules.

===Filtering Options (HTML)===

Web sites can be attacked by users entering in special HTML code. Filtering is a way to protect your Joomla! web site. Joomla! 1.6 brings new filtering options to give you more control over the HTML that your content providers are allowed to submit. You can be as strict or as liberal as you desire, depending on your site's needs.

It is important to understand that filtering occurs at the time an article is saved, ''after'' it has been written or edited. Depending on your editor and filter settings, it is possible for a user to add HTML to an article during the edit session only to have that HTML removed from the article when it is saved. This can sometimes cause confusion or frustration. If you have filtering set up on your site, make sure your users understand what types of HTML are allowed.

The default setting, as of Joomla! version 1.6, is that all users will have "black list" filtering on by default. This is designed to protect against markup commonly associated with web site attacks. So, if you do not set any filtering options, all users will have "black list" filtering done using the default list of filtered items. If you create a filter here, this overrides the default, and the default filter is no longer in effect.

To access the filtering settings, click on Options and select 'Text filters'

For each user group on your site you can specify what type of filtering is applied to their edits.

====Filter Types====
There are four types of filters: Black List, White List, No HTML and No Filtering.

=====Black List Filters=====
The default filter method in Joomla! is 'Black List'. The default 'Black List' contains the following tags to exclude:

:'applet', 'body', 'bgsound', 'base', 'basefont', 'embed', 'frame', 'frameset', 'head', 'html', 'id', 'iframe', 'ilayer', 'layer', 'link', 'meta', 'name', 'object', 'script', 'style', 'title', 'xml'

The default 'Black List' contains the following attributes to exclude:

:'action', 'background', 'codebase', 'dynsrc', 'lowsrc'

You can 'Black List' (disallow) additional tags and attributes by adding to the Filter tags and Filter attributes fields, separating each tag or attribute name with a space or comma. If you select a Filter Type of "Black List", this list will always be used, plus any additional tags and attributes you add.

=====White List Filters=====
White list filters allow you to specify that a given group can only use a specific list of HTML tags and attributes. You can 'White List' (allow) tags and attributes by adding to the Filter tags and Filter attributes fields for the desired group, separating each tag or attribute name with a space or comma.

=====No HTML Filters=====
No HTML filters are the strictest set of filters you can apply. Groups that are set to No HTML will not have permission to use any HTML.

=====No Filtering=====
No filtering is the most permissive set of filters you can apply. Groups that are set to No Filtering will have permission to use any and all tags and attributes, including the default blacklisted tags and attributes.

====Combining Filters====
If a user belongs to two different groups that have different filter settings, filters will combine in a permissive way. That is, the set of tags the user will be permitted to use will the combination of the tags that each group allows the user to use. So if the user is a member of one group that white lists a specific set of tags and another group that white lists a different set of tags, the user will be able to use both sets of white listed tags. White lists override blacklists, so if a user belongs to one group that black lists a tag and another group that white lists a tag, the user will be able to use that tag. A user that belongs to a group that has no filtering will be able to use any HTML regardless of filtering settings for other groups the user belongs to.

====Filter Application====

Please note that these settings work regardless of the editor that you are using. Even if you are using a WYSIWYG editor, the filtering settings may strip additional tags and attributes prior to saving information in the database.

====Filter Examples====

'''Example One:'''
To allow people in a group to only submit content with basic HTML tags, use the following settings:
* Select White List as the Filter type
* Set the Filter tags to: p, b, i, em, br, a, ul, ol, li, img
* Set the Filter attributes to: href, target, src

'''Example Two:'''
To apply the default black-list filtering to a group, use the following settings:
* Select Black List as the Filter type.
* Leave the Filter Tags and Filter attributes fields empty.

[[Image:Text_filters.png]]

====Developers Notes====

The filtering parameters in config.xml have the new parameter menu="hide". This hides the filters from the Menu Item's Component pane as you do not want cascading overrides to occur at the menu item level.

*In Joomla! versions prior to 1.5, there were separate processes for creating a Static Content Item and normal Content Items. Both processes are now done just by adding Articles. Normal Content Items are now just called Articles, and Static Content Items are now called Uncategorized Articles.

*To create a static content item, create a new Article in the same way as for normal content and assign it to the 'Uncategorized' Section and Category. You can then use the Menu Item Type called Article Layout to show the Article in a page.

*Joomla! 1.5 changes the method you must use to create the 'Read more...' link. When you are adding or editing an article, just press the 'Read more...' button located at the bottom of the screen, next to Image and Pagebreak buttons. This inserts a 'Read more...' break in the Article. The text before the break will display as the Intro Text, and the text after the break will display when the 'Read more...' link is pressed.

# If the value above is set to "Use Global" then the value from the Parameters - Component section of the [[screen.menus.type.15|Menu Item Type]] (this screen) is examined. If this value is set to Yes/Show or No/Hide, then that action is taken and no further checking is done.
# If ''both'' of the values above are set to "Use Global" then the value from [[Screen.content.15|Article Manager/Parameters]] is used to determine the result.

The 'Parameters - Component' part is different for each Internal Link group -- Articles, Contacts, News Feeds, Polls, Search, User, Web Links, and Wrapper. Therefore, these are documented in each group's section above.

The Parameters - Basic section is different for each Menu Type. Also, some Menu Types contain a Parameters - Advanced section, which is also different for each Menu Type. These are documented for each individual Menu Type above.

'''Menu Item Details'''
{{colheader|Enter Title}}
{{colheader|Alias}}
{{colheader|Link}}
{{colheader|Display in}}
{{colheader|Parent Item}}
{{colheader|Enter Published}}
{{colheader|Order (Details)}}
{{colheader|Enter Access Level}}
{{colheader|On Click, Open in}}

This section, shown below, allows setting additional parameters. [[Image:menu_item_parameters_system.png|frame|center]]
These are described below.
{{colheader|Page Title}}
{{colheader|Show Page Title}}
{{colheader|Page Class Suffix}}
{{colheader|Menu Image}}
{{colheader|SSL Enabled}}

==Quick Tips==
*Parameters for Articles and Contacts can be set at 3 different levels:
*# the individual Article or Contact New or Edit screen (Article:[Edit] or Contact:[Edit]).
*# the Menu Item that displays the Article or Contact (this screen).
*# the Global Configuration screen, accessed using the Parameters button on the Article Manager and Contact Manager screens.
: The parameter set for the individual Article or Contact always takes first priority. If the individual parameter is set to "Use Global", then the parameter set in the Menu Item takes priority. If both of these are set to "Use Global", then the parameter in the Global Configuration takes priority.
*Parameters for News Feeds, Search, and Web Links work in a similar way, except that they are only set in this screen and in the Global Configuration screens. No parameters are set for individual items of these types. As with Articles and Contacts, the Menu Item setting takes priority over the Global Configuration setting.
*Use the Global Configuration parameters whenever possible. This way, if you want to change a parameter setting for all content items, you can just change it once in the Global Configuration and it will automatically be reflected in all affected content items.
*Often on the Front Page component, Joomla! users do not want their Articles to display in 2 columns, which is the default value. The first Article displays in one column (using the full width), but subsequent Articles display in 2 columns. This can be adjusted by changing the values of the Parameters - Basic for the Front Page.
*If you are trying to manually change the order of articles on the Front Page or in a Blog or List Layout, make sure that you have the Primary Order and Category Order parameters set correctly in the Parameters - Advanced Section. If these parameters are set incorrectly, changing the order manually will have no effect on the order on the web page.

==Toolbar==
At the top right you will see the toolbar:

[[Image:Help25-Toolbar-Save-SaveClose-SaveNew-Cancel-Help.png]]

The functions are:
{{Chunk25:Help_screen_toolbar_icon_Save|menu item}}

Help17:Extensions Language Manager Installed

2012-04-06T10:33:29Z

Wgviana:

==How to Access==
Select '''Extensions → Language Manager''' from the drop-down menu on the back-end of your Joomla! installation '''or''' click the icon '''Language''' in the control center.

==Description==
In the Language Manager you can set the default Language for both the Front-end and Back-end of your Joomla! web site.

==Screenshot==
[[Image:Help16-Extenions-Language-Manager-Installed.png]]

==Column Headers==
The ''Installed'' tab has the following column titles. These details are fetched from the XML file included in the language pack.
*'''Num.''' An indexing number automatically assigned by Joomla! for ease of reference.
{{Chunk16:colheader|Checkbox}}
{{Chunk16:colheader|Language}}
*'''Default.''' The default language of the site, marked with a yellow graphical asterisk in this column. ''Note'': to every user a language can be assigned (see "User Management"), user from groups "Administrator" and "Super Administrator" can select their preferred language themself at login.
*'''Version.''' The version number of the installed language.
*'''Date.''' The creation date of the language.
*'''Author.''' The name of the language translator is displayed in this column.
*'''Author E-mail.''' The e-mail address of the translator.

==Toolbar==
At the top right you will see the toolbar:

[[Image:Help17-Extenions-Language-Manager-Installed-toolbar.png]]
*'''Default.''' Select the Language that you want to be the default Language. Then click this button. The default star symbol will show in the Default column, indicating that this is now the default Language.
*'''Options.''' Opens the Language Manager Options window. Allows setting of default permissions used for all content in this component.
{{toolbaricon|Help}}

==Installed and Content Tabs==
At the top left, above the columns, you will see two links as shown below:

[[Image:Help17-Extenions-Language-Installed-Content-tabs.png]]
*'''Installed.''' Shows the Languages available for the Front-end of the web site or administrator area, depending on the filter location at left that is current.
*'''Content.''' Shows the Content Languages available for the web site. See [[Help17:Extensions_Language_Manager_Content | Extensions Language Manager Content]].

==Quick Tips==
*Users can use any Language from the list of installed Languages, either by having it assigned in the [[Help17:Users_User_Manager|User Manager]] or by filling out a [[Help17:Menus_Menu_Item_Manager_Edit#User_Form_Layout|Menu Item Manager - New/Edit - User Form Layout]] at the Front end. This will cause the Joomla! system prompts to be generated in this Language just for this User. For example, if a User chooses Spanish as their language, then the Search Module will show with prompts in Spanish.
*This User's choice is not affected by the Default Language set for the Front-end.
:*Changing a User's Language or the Default Language does not affect the web site's Articles and other content.

*'''Important''': Do not delete the default language files (for example, with FTP). This will create errors on both the Front-end and Back-end.

*Additional Languages can be added using the [[Help17:Extensions_Extension_Manager_Install|Extension Manager - Install Screen]].

*If desired, you can show the Front-end site in one Language and show the Back-end administration pages in a different Language. Also, individual articles can be configured to use a different language in the Advanced Parameter pane when editing the Article.

==Related Information==
*To install more Languages: [[Help17:Extensions_Extension_Manager_Install|Extension Manager - Install Screen]]
*To uninstall a Language: [[Help17:Extensions_Extension_Manager_Manage|Extension Manager - Manage]]
*To change the Language for a User: [[Help17:Users_User_Manager_Edit|User Manager - New/Edit]]
*To set the Language of an Article: [[Help17:Content_Article_Manager_Edit#Parameters_-_Advanced|Article Manager - New/Edit - Parameters - Advanced
