Anna's Joomla tips |
Page 10 of 10 This tip is designed to help you find things that are on your page, you’re looking right at them, but can’t find where they exist in Mambo. If you’ve read the other chapters and are still looking for the contact page or how to change the look of a category page, this is the chapter for you. Contact Us. When you install Joomla, the main menu comes with a link called Contact Us. What displays on the Contact Us page is the information in your Contacts (go to Components -> Contacts -> Manage Contacts to create or edit contacts). If you want to show only one contact instead of the list of all contacts, you can create a link to only one contact. To create a contact link, open your main menu (or whatever menu you’d like the link to be in) and click “new” in the toolbar. On the next screen, choose Link – Contact Item. It will then let you choose which contact to link to. The information for this contact will appear on the Contact Us page as well as this link. If you want to change the form part of your contact page, you'll have to install a form component (such as Art*Forms). It will allow you to add various form items (text input, radio buttons, dropdown lists) & process them in various ways. Category & Section pages. If you create menu links to categories or sections, how can you alter those pages? You must remember that in Mambo, there are no pages – only menu items. So go to the menu item and change the parameters there. For example, if you have a link to a category page or section page, Mambo automatically displays certain search options (the “Filter” “Order” and “Display #” you see above the item list). You can show or hide those by going to the menu the link is in, editing that link, and going to the Parameters tab. Please let me know what things you have wasted time looking for because they’re in some non-intuitive place – I’ll post it here!
