Creating a Blog Category

A blog category groups your articles and gives readers a way to filter them; here you give it a name, an address, an icon and a colour.

Opening the Screen

Open Site Management, then Blog. Click the Categories button, then the Create Category button: {admin}/manage-website/blogs/add-category

An existing category opens in the same form: {admin}/manage-website/blogs/edit-category?id={category}

What Is on the Screen

One form, with a language strip above it.

Fields

Tasks

Create a category

1. Write the Title for the open language, then move along the language strip and write it for the rest.
2. Come back to your default language tab and set Sort Order, Icon and Accent Color.
3. Click the Create button. The category is saved and you land on the category list.

Change the address

1. Click the Change the URL button beside Link Structure.
2. Type the new address and confirm it with the Save button inside the field.
3. Save the form. Every language keeps its own address, so repeat this on each tab you use.

Replace the icon or the banner

1. Open the category from the category list.
2. Drop a new file onto Icon or Background Image, or use the remove button on the file that is there.
3. Click Save. The category now carries the new file.

Things to Watch

Required Privileges

Opening the screen, saving the category and removing the icon or the background image all need MANAGE_WEBSITE_OPERATION. Deleting a category from the list is a separate right, MANAGE_WEBSITE_DELETE.
