Hey there Joomla fans, Tim Davis here.
I'm a Joomla fan too.
Thanks for tuning in to today's
Maintenance Monday live stream here on
the Basic Joomla Tutorials channel,
episode #30. Today's episode is
not going to be about what I was hoping
it would be about, but I'm gonna ask you
for some help a little while later to
set that one up because I have some
problems breaking something so I could
show you how to fix it. But I'm sure
someone out there will help me break it.
Anyways, thanks everybody for tuning
in again today, if you're one of
the regulars looking forward to catching
up with you why not say hi in the chat?
And if this is your first time watching
on the live stream then welcome, glad
that you are here. If you're watching
this on the recording it would be great
if you would subscribe to the channel
and ring that bell so you get
notification of new live streams and new
tutorials when they go up. And of course
if you're watching live please give the
video a like. So my plan this week was,
like I said, to show you to fix something
that we discussed in the live stream
last week and when before we get to that
I'll tell you what we are going to look
at today and that is managing the
modules in the control panel when you
log in as administrator to your Joomla
site. Because there are some basic
modules that are there but also as you
add extensions they have their own, some
of them have their own modules or little
notifications or areas that they put on
your control panel and it can get kind of
cluttered if you're using that as a
place to quickly click on links. So, why
don't we head on over to the screen here
and check things out? Remember every
month the giveaway and the Basic Joomla
tutorials channel: one-year on my.Joomla.com
to manage one site or one month to
manage unlimited sites and also a free
one-year subscription to your
choice of any Regular Labs extension
from Regular Labs. So, be sure to head on
over the basicjoomla.com
and enter into that draw, into
this month's draw. All right, here we
are in the back end of the Basic Joomla
site - and let me just the reorganize the
screen here - and basically once you log
in you're looking at this control panel,
in fact let's make sure that I am still
logged in, I am and so, basically the
admin area has its own template. Just
like the front end of the Joomla site
has a template or templates depending on
how you've set up your site and there's
different positions and these are all
modules: this last five logged in users,
the top five popular articles, Community
Builder news, these are all modules that
have been installed that are there
by default in the core Joomla or else
they've been installed by other
extensions that I have on this site.
for instance, Community Builder or down here
Jsitemap. As these add and get put
in there when you first log in it can be
kind of cluttered especially once if
you're using the control panel once
you're logged in you go and you want to
go to a new area to do something. And so
the way to manage this is very similar
basically the same way
{Blank}
{Blank}
to manage
these modules is basically the same as
managing modules for a front-end
template. And that is the goal so first
we'll go to extensions and then we'll go
to modules and I'm going to right click
and open a new tab and then here on the
left hand side we see site, we want to
see these so these are all modules that
are on the site and the front end of
this Joomla site we want to switch to
administrator. I'm also going once we
once that that comes up we see all of
these other modules that are assigned to
different positions in the template of
the administrator
template and this one is Isis. If we go
to extensions>manage right-click
extensions and then down to temp
right click and open a new tab and then
over here I'm going to select instead of
site administrator you'll see that here
is the ISIS default template that I am
using. So, if you have are used maybe
you're using Hathor or maybe you've gone
and gotten adventurous and found another
administrator module that you're using
that's basically where you can see which
module that you're using. Anyways back to
the modules for the admin area
here they all are and they will
correspond to things that are on your
control panel. For instance here's
last five logged in users and if we go
down here we will find logged in users
and it's assigned to the cpanel position.
All the filters will still work up here
so if you only want to see things that
are in a certain position you could
filter by the cpanel position and you
can also sort by order just like with
modules in the front-end and articles
and things such as that. All you need to
do really then is if you want to
unpublish get rid of that logged in
user's module is click the checkmark.
I'm using Cache Cleaner from Regular
Labs so I have it set so that when I do
actions like "save" or "publish" or
"unpublish" it flushes the cache so I
don't even need to refresh to empty the
cache to refresh before I refresh the
page back here. But once I hit refresh
I expect that the last five logged in
users is going to disappear and there
you go it's gone. So, if you're not
particularly interested in
seeing the last five logged in users or
your top five popular
articles or maybe you just don't want
the Community Builder news for instance -
and nothing personal against
Community Builder news maybe you want it
there - you can just work your way through
the template through the modules that
are assigned, the modules that are admin
modules that show up on your control
panel. So let me just first of all clear
search here so we get looking at them
all. I'm gonna turn logged in users back
on because I want to talk about that in
a second, but we could go down here
and here's Community Builder news and
I'm going to check both the updates and
the news as another example, go unpublish,
go back here, refresh and there you go the
back end is tidier. Now it's not so
much a big deal on my screen I have a
big, big wide screen here with lots of room on
it, but if you were to be using
a smaller screen or just smaller
resolution or maybe even you're logging
in for the back end on your
phone or on a tablet you don't want as
many things there jumbling up the view
that's how you unpublished the unwanted
or unneeded modules that are
showing up in your admin area. So I
figured I would just show you that today
as a Maintenance tip # 30.
Just unpublished those and keep things
tidy hey.
Is there a way to preview the positions on
the administrative template as in the
front-end template? That is a good
question. Somebody out there right now
knows the quick link to type at the top.
That would be interesting to see. Let's
check that. Can someone type
that in chat?
I think it's question mark TP or
something like that that we can try. The
other thing too that I was wondering
about, just as we were talking is this: if
I go to logged in users are there module
suffixes - yes so you could actually hide
one from showing up on a mobile device.
I think so. I'm going to try that
again, we'll do that - that'll be
another topic. I'm running slim
on topics so we'll take a look at that
as
another topic, but that's handle this
good questions here. Hajo, how can I add a
component to the left menu for the BE?
Left menu for the BE . . . just down
here? Okay. I think that's what you're
talking about right? I do not know and
you know what Hajo? I was looking
earlier, I was thinking, "I wonder
where I would find how I would install
an extension that would actually show up
on the control panel?" Does it have to be
designated for it? Because I did go to
the template
that I'm using in the front end of this
site and I went to one of the modules
that's under the front-end, and I did
not see the module positions
for the back end of the site either.
So that's another good
question. I should be writing these down.
Hey, listen, just for those who have tuned
in order to see the tip for today and
aren't going
to follow through on the rest of the
chat here, I want to thank you for tuning
in and thank you for your support of
this channel. As always, like I say, I
hope that you will subscribe and give
the video a like up - a like - and to ring
the bell when you subscribe.
Do stay around for the chat here while
we get going on some things, but if you
are leaving then thanks for watching.
Enjoy your Joomla sites and God bless.
