Blog Categories

94 Aufrufe Markdown

Group your blog articles under categories, and keep every category's name, address and visibility in one list.

Reaching the Screen

Panel menu: Site Management, Blog, then the Categories button: {admin}/manage-website/blogs/categories.

Create Category opens an empty form at {admin}/manage-website/blogs/add-category. Edit in a row menu opens a filled one at {admin}/manage-website/blogs/edit-category?id={category}.

What Is on the Screen

The toolbar Apply to Selected for the ticked rows, and the Create Category button.

The list One row per blog category, newest first. The columns cannot be sorted.

Row menu The menu at the end of a row offers Edit and Delete.

Only blog categories are listed here. Reference categories have their own screen.

On a narrow screen the toolbar is folded away behind Show Options.

The Columns

Category Name The name in your panel language. A long name is shortened; hover it for the whole name.

URL The category address column. In this version every row shows the same link, and it does not lead to the category page.

Status Enabled or Disabled. You change it in the category form.

Created The day the category was added.

Fields

Apply to Selected Acts on the ticked rows. Delete is the only choice, and it does nothing with no row ticked.

Create Category Opens the empty category form.

Search The box above the list matches the whole row: name, address, status and date. A download button sits at the right end of the same strip.

Tasks

Creating a Category

Click the Create Category button.
Enter the name for each language; the address comes from the name. To change it, click the pencil button next to the address, then save the form.
The category joins the list as the first row.

Editing a Category

Open the menu at the end of the row and choose Edit.
Change what you need, then save the form.
A confirmation appears and you stay on the form. The new name and status show when you go back to the list.

Deleting Categories

For one category, choose Delete in its row menu.
For several, tick the rows and pick Delete under Apply to Selected.
Deleting several rows asks for your admin password first.
Confirm with the Delete button in the window. The rows leave the list at once.

Things to Watch

Deleting cannot be undone

The confirmation window is the only warning. The category's background image goes with it.

Articles outlive their category

Deleting a category never deletes its articles. They stay on your site with no category, so pick one for them again.

An empty category stays off the site

The blog lists a category once it is Enabled and holds at least one visible article. Check both when one is missing.

Required Privileges

The screen, the create form and the edit form all need MANAGE_WEBSITE_OPERATION.

Deleting needs MANAGE_WEBSITE_DELETE. Without it the tick boxes and the Delete entry in the row menu are gone. The Apply to Selected box stays, but with no row to tick it does nothing.

Downloading also needs TABLE_EXPORT.
