(17)

Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 17 of 144 When an administrator clicks on envelope at the bottom of the page, he/she can see Message about submitted Article:

The administrator should navigate to Content -> Article Manager, locate the unpublished article added by Author, Editor or Publisher, and review. Upon approval, simply click to publish on the live site.

3.4 Administration section groups

There are three (3) Administration section groups that allow access to Joomla. Administration groups can login to the Administrative interface:

(18)

3.4.1 Manager

Manager - This level allows access to content creation and other system information on the Joomla backend. They can create or edit any content, access some Backend-only features like adding, deleting and editing Sections and Categories or editing the Front Page and Menus. They don’t have any access to the “mechanics” of Joomla, like user management or the ability to install components or modules.

These menu items are available for Manager:

1. Content: Article, Category, Media Managers and Featured Articles.

2. Components: Kunena Forum (Discussion Board) and Simple Image Gallery Pro. Other components are not useful.

(19)

3.4.2 Administrator

Administrator - This group allows access to most administration functions. An Administrator has all the privileges of a Manager, but they also have access to set options, install/delete components, modules and bots, User Manager access, and can view the site statistics. What they cannot do is change, edit or install Site Templates or make any changes to the site’s Global configuration options. When an Administrator accesses the User Manager list, they will see all users at their access level or below. They can modify any user EXCEPT a Super Administrator – in fact, they will not even see Super Administrator accounts in the list. Also, they cannot create additional Super Administrator level accounts, only a Super Admin can do that.

Administrators see these menus in the Joomla Admin panel:

3.4.3 Super Administrator

Super Administrator - This group allows access to all administration functions. Only another Super Administrator can create or edit a Super Administrator user account. Full access to ALL AREAS is given to Super Administrators, and once created they cannot be as easily deleted. You must change the user's group to something other than Super Administrator first in order to delete them.

(25)

(26)

5 Working with Articles

5.1 Create a New Article (Page)

5.1.1 General Options

Navigate to Content -> Article Manager -> Add New Article.

Or use New button under the Articles section.

 Fill in the Title.

 Choose the Category. Each article must have a category. See full list of categories - https://www.microwaves101.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_categories  Fill in the body text of the new page.

(27)

NOTE: You should click on the “Save & Close” button to save your changes. If you click only the “Save” button, other users may not be able to edit the Article when they login at a later time.

(28)

5.1.2 Publishing Options

To manage publishing options, use the Publishing tab. This tab allows you to enter parameters for an Article, as shown below:

These entries are optional. Joomla automatically creates default entries for these values.

Created by. Name of the Joomla user who created this item. This will default to the currently logged-in user. If you want to change this to a different user, click the Select User button.

Created By Alias. This optional field allows you to enter an alias for the Author of an Article.

Created Date. This field defaults to the current time the Article was created. You can enter in a different date and time or click on the calendar icon to find the desired date.

Start Publishing. Date and time to start publishing. Use this field if you want to enter content ahead of time and then have it published automatically at a future time.

Finish Publishing. Date and time to finish publishing. Use this field if you want to have content automatically removed from the site by changing to the Unpublished state at a future time (for example, when it is no longer applicable).

(29)

Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 29 of 144 If an Article was published but then expired (due to a finish date being entered as per previous paragraph) an orange symbol is displayed in the list of Articles:

Modified By. Displays who last edited the article. Note this field is non-editable.

Modified Date. Date and time the article was last modified. Note this field is non-editable. Revision. This indicates the number of times an article has been edited. Note this field is non-editable.

Hits. The number of times an item has been viewed.

5.1.3 Metadata Options

To add meta tags, use the Metadata section displayed on Publishing tab.

This section allows you to enter Metadata information for an article. Metadata is information about the Article that is not displayed but is available to search engines and other systems to classify the Article. This gives you more control over how the content will be analyzed by these programs. All of these entries are optional. Metadata is shown inside HTML meta elements. The entry screen is shown below:

(30)

Meta Description. An optional paragraph to be used as the description of the page in the HTML output. This will generally display in the results of search engines.

Meta Keywords. Optional entry for keywords. Must be entered separated by commas and may

be entered in upper or lower case.

Key Reference. Optional text key that an Article may be referenced by (for example, a help reference). A normal Joomla! link to an Article is in the form "<home

URL>/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=22&Itemid=34". In this example, Joomla! is using the "com_content" component, using an "article" layout, showing the Article whose ID is "22", and using the Menu Item whose ItemID is "34". The Key Reference of an Article can be used in a URL instead of the Article's ID. For example, if an Article's Key Reference is "whats.new", then the URL "<home

URL>/index.php/?option=com_content&view=article&Itemid=34&task=findkey&keyref=whats.ne w" could also be used to display the page. The "task=findkey" tells Joomla! to search by Key Reference, and the "keyref=whats.new" provides the Key Reference to search for. Using the Key Reference to link to Articles is more flexible than using Article ID, since you can edit the Key Reference field of existing Articles. Note that, if more than one Article has the same Key Reference, this URL will only find the first Article with this Key Reference.

(31)

Robots. The instructions for search robots that browse to this page.

 Use Global: Use the value set in the Component→Options for this component.

 Index, Follow: Index this page and follow the links on this page. THIS IS DEFAULT.

 No index, Follow: Do not index this page, but still follow the links on the page. For example, you might do this for a site map page where you want the links to be indexed but you don't want this page to show in search engines.

 Index, No follow: Index this page, but do not follow any links on the page. For example, you might want to do this for an events calendar, where you want the page to show in search engines but you do not want to index each event.

 No index, no follow: Do not index this page or follow any links on the page.

Author. Optional entry for an Author name within the metadata. If entered, this creates an HTML meta element with the name attribute of "author" and the content attribute as entered here.

Content Rights. Optional entry that shows what rights others have to use the content in the article. If entered, this creates an HTML meta element with the name attribute of "rights" and the content attribute as entered here.

External Reference. An optional reference used to link to external data sources. If entered, this creates an HTML meta element with a name attribute of "xreference" and a content attribute equal to the entered text.

5.1.4 Anchor Links

Insert/Edit Anchor. An anchor is a marker inside an article that lets you link directly to a sentence in the article. To insert an anchor, move the cursor to the desired location within the article and click this button. A window will display. Enter the name of the Anchor and press Insert.

(32)

Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 32 of 144 A small anchor icon will then show at the location of the anchor. You can edit the name of the anchor by clicking on it and pressing this button. You can delete the anchor just by selecting it and pressing the delete key.

Insert/Edit Link. To insert or edit a link, select the linked text and press this button. A popup dialog displays that lets you enter details about the link.

(33)

Anchors added earlier to an article are displayed in the Article Anchors section.

(34)

Anchors from other articles are displaying at the Browse-> Content section in pop-window.

You can navigate directly to the content item and the anchor will be listed below the item. All you need to do is select it and update the link.

 Click Insert

When the article is saved there will be an index and also navigation at the bottom of each page.

5.1.9 Add “Read more” link

“Read more” enables the article to be read in full following a few 'teaser' lines. There are some pages where a short teaser extract gives enough information for readers to grasp the content of the article. This is often used for news or blogs where there is limited room on the main page, and readers are not interested in all content. A good solution is to use the “Read More” format.

 Open the article for editing

 Make sure that the first few lines (which are going to be the 'teaser' text) give a good idea of the content of the rest of the article

(40)

A dotted line is inserted into the article. Save the article.

Only the teaser text is displayed on the front-end. At the end there is a READ MORE link. Click on this to display the rest of the article.

(41)

To add external reference, in the admin panel open the article to which you want to add external references. Navigate to Images and links tab, as shown below. You can add external

references to block Link A, Link B, Link C.

5.3.4 Remove Article from Alphabetical filter

Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 49 of 144 Select the Term which you want to delete and click on “Un-publish” button at top. Or click on green check (tick) in Active column.

If item is unpublished (green) check red X as shown below:

(50)

5.4 Lock/Check-in

Sometimes you may see a padlock next to a specific item. These padlocks may be displayed next to Content Items, Menu Items, Modules, etc.

The Joomla! system places these padlocks next to an item to indicate that a user is currently editing the item (i.e. the item is "checked out"). The lock is removed when the user clicks on the "Save&Close" or "Close" button for that item. If the user never clicks "Save&Close" or "Close" and instead clicks on the “Save” button, or simply navigates to another page, then the item remains locked. If a different user needs to work with an item that is in the "checked out" state he or she must first ask a manager or administrator to check the item back in (release the item) before any new changes can be made.

5.4.1 Checking Items In

There are three ways of checking items back in. One way is to contact the person that has the item checked out to see if they are finished. You can hover the cursor above the lock and the tooltip popup will display the name of the user who checked out the article.

If you have top-level admininstrator rights, and can click on the padlock to check only this item back in, or click on Site->Maintenance->Global Check-in to check all items in.

(51)

The latter option should be used very carefully, especially in multi-user environments. This single action checks in all previously checked out items, whether they were checked out by you or not. Possible undesirable side effects may be that multiple editors end up working on the same document. In this case whoever clicks the save button last has their version saved as the final copy.

5.4.2 Automatic Check-in (without saving)

Automatic check-in happens after 1 hour of no action on a page. In such case, changes are not saved on the page.

Also, automatic check-in (without saving your changes) happens if you click on the Close button, or close your browser tab and click on “Leave Page” button.

(52)

5.5 Deleting an Article

Go to Content > Article Manger on the toolbar menu.

Check the box next to the article(s) that you want to delete. Then click Trash button.

If you want to make sure that the Article is completely gone from the system (so no further roll back is available), go to Content > Article Manager and select “Trashed” in Search Tools.

Select the article which you want to delete (this action is not available to administrators with only Manager's privileges), click on Empty Trash button, and Delete button in pop-up window.

(53)

5.6 Forbidden words replacer

ReReplacer module searches for any words (which you add to ReReplacer) throughout the site. To replace words inside an article, you enter them into the ReReplacer module and tell it to replace them with a chosen new word. Add Forbidden words to ReReplacer module

(54)

(55)

1. Search – bad word which was added to Article by user. 2. Replace – text, to which bad word should be replaced.

3. Title – this title is how item is stored in ReReplacer module for future editing.

Open “Search Areas” tab to enable replacing of bad words in specific section in admin panel and front-end.

(56)

5.6.1 Delete item from ReReplacer module

Select item which you want to delete and click on “Trash” button.

5.6.2 List of articles with bad words

Click on blue button “List of articles with bad words” to see list of pages where words were replaced.

If bad word was automatically found and replaced on some pages, a list of those pages is displayed in the right column.

(57)

(58)

5.7 Author of Article

Most Articles have an Author’s block at the bottom of page.

“Author: TheUnknown Editor” is selected by default for each new Article.

If Author has avatar or/and title, additional info will be displayed in Author’s block below article. If there are 2 or more Authors of current Article, text “Author” is changed to “Co-Author”.

(59)

Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 59 of 144 To change Author, open Article and go to “Fields and Filters” tab. Select Author, which you want to assign to current Article.

Click on “Save & Close” button to save your changes.

“Fields and Filters” tab just displays labels of Users, which are registered in admin panel. If you want to change name of Author, you should go to Users -> Users Manager

(60)

To upload Avatar and add Title of User, open “Author Info Box Profile Data” tab:

(61)

If this user is assigned as an Author to an Article, the user’s name will be automatically changed below each Article.

NOTE: When a new user-author is added to the Joomla system, contact Handmade Interactive to add this new author as a filter.

5.8 Article Teaser

To manage “Article Teaser” module go to Extensions -> Module Manager -> Articles - Related Articles.

NOTE:The module Related Article is currently turned off until the volunteer group adjusts all articles (as per stated requirements - each article needs to have an intro image loaded inside Joomla admin).

Article Teaser – is a short description of Article A, which is displayed on Article B, which is related to Article A by Meta Keywords.

For example we have 2 articles related by keywords. Articles "Group Delay in Filters" and "Filters" have the same keyword "filters".

1. Group Delay in Filters -> <meta name="keywords" content="filters, delay, group" />

(62)

http://mw101.mtt-dev1.org/encyclopedias/filters

Since the articles are related, on top of Filters page we can see the Article Teaser of the "Group Delay in Filters" page:

http://mw101.mtt-dev1.org/encyclopedias/filters

Article Teaser shows these parameters for an article:

1. Title of article (page). For example: "Group Delay in Filters"

(63)

3. Link of Article is adding by default to Title and Intro Image.

(64)

(65)

6.6.1 Manage Code 1 for DFP banners

Code 1 should be placed to the <head></head> tag in the template.

To manage code 1 for DFP banners, go to Extensions -> Plugin Manager -> HeadTag

Open “Menu Item Rules” tab to assign specific code for specific pages. Menu items for Main web-site are displayed in section “main-global” as is shown below:

(88)

Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 88 of 144 Select Tag Type “Custom Tag” and insert part #2 of code 1 to “Custom Tag” field. For example code below (from the sample in section “6.6 Manage DFP banners”): <script type='text/javascript'> googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.defineSlot('/4906012/Filters_LowerSkyscraper', [160, 600], 'div-gpt-ad-1403439407967-0').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.enableServices(); }); </script>

If you want to add several codes #1 to HEAD section – select another menu items as was described above.

Each menu item can have 1 – 4 Custom Tags.

For example: page “Connector Color Code” has 3 specific banners: Skyscrapers(right-side), Baseboard(bottom), Leaderboard(top):

http://www.microwaves101.com/encyclopedias/connector-color-code

That’s why page “Connector Color Code” has 3 Custom Tags. Samples of Custom Tags for each menu item are shown on image below:

6.6.2. Manage Code 2 for DFP banners

To manage Code #2 for banners, go to Extensions -> Module Manager -> Search by “banner”.

(90)

- bottom banners on inside pages on main site (position: bottom-inside); - banners on mobile site (position: ims-mobile-content-footer);

(91)

Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 91 of 144 To manage a banner, click on it first. For example, click on module “Banner Right (KR Electronics)”. This banner is displayed on the right side of specific inside pages of main site. Click on Module tab and click on “Toggle Editor” to switch OFF HTML editor and insert banner code #2. For example:

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1403439407967-0'); }); </script>

</div>

6.6.3. How to add banner to specific page

The Joomla CMS only allows banners to be assigned to specific menu items (not specific pages). We have already created all menu items for all existing pages in Encyclopedia and Acronyms sections.

(92)

Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 92 of 144 To place a banner on a specific page, which is created after 10/24/14, an administrator must create a separate menu item for that page.

These menu items are sub-items of the Encyclopedia or Acronyms menu item in Menus -> Main Global section in admin panel:

See section 7.1 in the user guide for an explanation of how to create a new menu item. You should select “Encyclopedia” as the Parent menu item for new sub-items.

After you have created a menu sub-item for a specific page, go to the banner module (Extensions -> Module Manager) and click on Menu Assignment tab to select the specific pages on which this banner should be displayed.

Please notice:Currently “Run of the site banners” (Skyscraper, Baseboard, Leaderboard) are displaying on all inside pages of Encyclopedia section, except for pages listed in section “6.6.5. Types of banners currently added in admin panel” in this guide.

If you create new specific banner and want to assign it to specific page, which already has “Run of the site banners” –> open “Run of the site banners” (3 separate modules) and take them OFF from specific page. Then assign new module with specific banner to specific page (as is written above).

(93)

“Banner Right (KR Electronics)” is displayed on right-side of 6 pages, including Microwave filters page:

http://www.microwaves101.com/encyclopedias/filters

Please notice, since user created new menu item for "Filters" page, this menu item has new URL now.

(94)

[menu sub-item alias] can be copied from Menus section in admin panel:

In our case it is: [http://www.microwaves101.com/] + [encyclopedias] + [filters]

So, page with new banners has new URL now: http://www.microwaves101.com/encyclopedias/filters

Old URL of page (without menu item):

http://www.microwaves101.com/encyclopedias/368-filters

If URL of page was changed we should do one more step - to change URL of Article in Encyclopedia Alphabetical filter:http://www.microwaves101.com/encyclopedias

In this sample, we should change link of "Filters" article in Encyclopedia Alphabetical filter.

Explanation about editing links in Encyclopedia Alphabetical filter is written in section "5.3 Add/Remove Article to/from Alphabetical Filter (Encyclopedia)" in this User Guide.

(95)

6.6.4. Redirecting the old page to the new page with Ads

We added feature of automatic redirecting the old page to the new page with Ads.

It works if alias of menu item is the same as alias of page.

For example:

Old page has alias "connector-color-code" and id "778":

http://www.microwaves101.com/encyclopedias/778-connector-color-code

Menu item for new page has alias "connector-color-code":

In such case old page is automatically redirecting to the new page:

http://www.microwaves101.com/encyclopedias/778-connector-color-code ->

6.6.5. Types of banners currently added in admin panel

8.1 Content Revisions/Versions

The Versions module is a security feature for your content. Versions allow you to keep copies of previous versions of articles every time you save a change.

The Versions button appears in the toolbar at the top of the articles screen:

Every time you save an article, the new version will be accessible via this pop-up window. The current version of the article is marked by a gold star.

To compare the current version with a previous version, check the boxes next to the versions and click Compare.

(107)

Joomla stores all content and the settings for this content.

In this example, you can see that the version on the right has been changed so that Featured is set to Yes.
