Chunk:Category/it

Ogni parte di un sito web che utilizza Joomla! o di qualsiasi altro CMS ha bisogno di un metodo per visualizzare e memorizzare i propri contenuti in modo logico. È comunemente usato il metodo per categorie e sottocategorie. Joomla! permette diversi modi per visualizzare e utilizzare il contenuto controllato attraverso le categorie. Alcuni tipi di contenuto che viene categorizzato sono articoli (il contenuto principale delle pagine web), banner, contatti e web links.

Joomla! category named "Uncategorised" is the default category, assigned to any and all content types. The "Uncategorised" category is not descriptive and should be used on as needed basis for content types which do not fall under a specific category.

When creating and assigning categories, you should have a planned structure. As an example, this is one way of how you would categorise several Joomla articles on birds. Create two top article categories called "Animals" and "Plants". Under the "Animals" category, you might have sub categories called "Birds" and "Mammals". Under the "Birds" sub category, you might have 3 articles named "Hawks," "Parrots" and "Sparrows".

• Animals
  • Birds
    • Hawks
    • Parrots
    • Sparrows
  • Mammals

The example above could be expanded even more with specific articles on different species of Hawks, Parrots and Sparrows. Start with using an "Animal" top Category, placing the sub categories "Birds" and "Mammals" are under the "Animal" category, and then a "Hawks," "Parrots" and "Sparrows" sub category under the "Birds" Sub Category as shown below.

Now you can create multiple articles in the Hawk, Parrot and Sparrow sub categories using the different genus or common names of the specific types of these 3 birds.

Categories and their sub categories are maintained using the "Category Manager" which can be reached in the administrator back-end interface by clicking on the "Content" menu type, then the "Category Manager" menu item for the type.
