12 3 Access Roles 3.1 General review Access Control Levels (ACL) govern the permissions that are associated with the individual User levels. There are seven (7) User Groups/levels within Joomla. Four (4) only have access to the site front-end for limited content management and editing as well as Discussion Board moderation: Registered, Author, Editor, and Publisher. There are also three (3) levels with access to the full Joomla Administrator Back-end: Manager, Administrator, and Super Administrator. In addition to the registered User Groups listed above there is a Public (unregistered) or Guest, level. 3.2 Front-end groups Login at Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 12 of 144

Login/Logout: Admin Menu is available for users logged-in on the front-end: Registered Users Registered - This allows the public to login to the front-end and post to the Discussion Board. ( Author Author - This level allows users to post content. They can submit new content, select options to show the item on the front page, and select dates for publishing. They cannot directly publish any content or access the work of other Authors. When content is submitted by an Author level Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 13 of 144

14 user, they receive the message, Thanks for your submission. Your submission will now be reviewed before being posted to the site. They can log back in to edit their own articles, but only when that article has been published and is visible Editor Editor - This level allows a user to post and edit any (not just their own) content both published and unpublished. Editors cannot publish or change the publishing status of any articles, including their own Publisher Publisher - This level allows a user to post, edit and publish any (not just their own) content item.

15 Fill-in title of an Article, and add full text to JCE Editor, as is shown on screen below: Select Category of new Article, in Publishing tab. Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 15 of 144

16 Click on Save link to save an Article: When an Author, Editor or Publisher has saved a new article, all top level Administrators will see Notification about submitted Article at the bottom of Joomla admin panel. Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 16 of 144

17 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: Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 17 of 144

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. Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 18 of 144

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: 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. Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 19 of 144

20 4 Work with Categories A Category is a collection of Articles. Each Category can have articles assigned to it. An Article can be associated with one Category only. 4.1 Create a New Category To create a new Category, navigate to Content -> Category Manager -> Add New Category 1) Fill in these fields: - Category Title - Description of the category Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 20 of 144

23 4.2 Manage Existing Categories To manage Categories, go to Content -> Category Manager. Every Article should be related to one Category. There can be multiple Articles in one Category. For example, the categories Encyclopedia and Acronyms consist of multiple articles. Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 23 of 144

24 To edit a Category, choose the name from the general list and click on it: After your changes are done, click the Save & Close button. Click the Close button if nothing has been changed.

Choose the Category. Each article must have a category. See full list of categories - Fill in the body text of the new page. Please see screenshot below of how the inside page of an Article looks in admin panel. Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 26 of 144

27 a later time. 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 Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 27 of 144

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). Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 28 of 144

29 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 noneditable. Hits. The number of times an item has been viewed 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: Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 29 of 144

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. Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 30 of 144

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 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. Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 31 of 144

32 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.

A popup dialog displays that lets you enter details about the link. Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 32 of 144

33 Anchors added earlier to an article are displayed in the Article Anchors section. For example, in the image below, the anchors #standingwave, #vswr, #other, and #mismatch are displayed below the "Voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR)" article they are contained in. Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 33 of 144

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.

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 Place the cursor at the end of the teaser text Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 39 of 144

Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 49 of 144

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 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. Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 50 of 144

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 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. Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 51 of 144

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. NOTE: This action cannot be undone. Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 52 of 144

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 Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 53 of 144

55 Fill-in these fields in the Details tab: 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. In list of ReReplacer items you can see all settings for each record: Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 55 of 144

56 5.6.1 Delete item from ReReplacer module Select item which you want to delete and click on Trash button 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. Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 56 of 144

58 5.7 Author of Article Most Articles have an Author s block at the bottom of page. Author: The Unknown 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. Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 58 of 144

59 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 and select User, which you want to edit. For example: Unknown Editor. Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 59 of 144

60 To change First or Last Name of User, open Account Details tab: To upload Avatar and add Title of User, open Author Info Box Profile Data tab: Then go to Account Details tab and re-enter password of user: Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 60 of 144

61 Click on Save & Close button to save your changes. 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" /> Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 61 of 144

62 2. Filters -> <meta name="keywords" content="filters" /> Since the articles are related, on top of Filters page we can see the Article Teaser of the "Group Delay in Filters" page: Article Teaser shows these parameters for an article: 1. Title of article (page). For example: "Group Delay in Filters" 2. Intro image can be uploaded in admin panel, at Images and links tab of an article: Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 62 of 144

63 If Intro image is not uploaded, the default image is displayed in Related Articles: 3. Link of Article is adding by default to Title and Intro Image. Left blank for notes. Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 63 of 144

65 6 Working with Modules 6.1 Changing Content Blocks on Front page To manage Modules, go to Extensions -> Module Manager. Most modules are displayed only on the Main page. See below an image-map of all the positions of modules on Main page. The positions of modules are: header, navigation, content-topslider, content-top1, content-top2, content-top3. Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 65 of 144

67 Modules. Position: header To manage Modules in the header position, go to Extensions -> Module Manager, then select header in the left-panel filter.

Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 85 of 144

86 In example below code 1 is displayed in blue, code 2 in green. Note: Code 1 always consists of 2 parts as is shown below. Part #1 in code 1 is the same for all banners. Since part #1 of code 1 is already added to template, you can add only part #2 of code 1 to plugin HeadTag as is written below CODE 1: Filter Lower Skyscraper Place this code into the HEAD element of the web page <script type='text/javascript'> var googletag = googletag {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd []; (function() { var gads = document.createelement('script'); gads.async = true; gads.type = 'text/javascript'; var usessl = ' == document.location.protocol; gads.src = (usessl? ' : ' + '// var node = document.getelementsbytagname('script')[0]; node.parentnode.insertbefore(gads, node); })(); </script> <script type='text/javascript'> googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.defineslot('/ /filters_lowerskyscraper', [160, 600], 'div-gpt-ad ').addservice(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enablesinglerequest(); googletag.enableservices(); }); </script> CODE 2: Place this code where this unit should show in the page body  <div id='div-gpt-ad ' style='width:160px; height:600px;'> <script type='text/javascript'> googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad '); }); </script> </div> Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 86 of 144

87 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: Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 87 of 144

88 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('/ /filters_lowerskyscraper', [160, 600], 'div-gpt-ad ').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): That s why page Connector Color Code has 3 Custom Tags. Samples of Custom Tags for each menu item are shown on image below: Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 88 of 144

89 Manage Code 2 for DFP banners To manage Code #2 for banners, go to Extensions -> Module Manager -> Search by banner. There are 4 types of banners on Main and Mobile sites: Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 89 of 144

90 - right-side banners on inside pages on main site (position: aside-right); - bottom banners on inside pages on main site (position: bottom-inside); - banners on mobile site (position: ims-mobile-content-footer); - top banners on inside pages on main site (position: top-inside); Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 90 of 144

91 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:  <div id='div-gpt-ad ' style='width:160px; height:600px;'> <script type='text/javascript'> googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad '); }); </script> </div> 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. Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 91 of 144

92 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 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). Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 92 of 144

93 Click on Save&Close button to save your changes. Banner Right (KR Electronics) is displayed on right-side of 6 pages, including Microwave filters page: Please notice, since user created new menu item for "Filters" page, this menu item has new URL now. Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 93 of 144

94 URLs of new menu items are creating by such logic: [domain name] + [main menu item] + [menu sub-item alias] [menu sub-item alias] can be copied from Menus section in admin panel: In our case it is: [ + [encyclopedias] + [filters] So, page with new banners has new URL now: Old URL of page (without menu item): If URL of page was changed we should do one more step - to change URL of Article in Encyclopedia Alphabetical filter: 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. Microwaves101 - User Guide Copyright 2014 IEEE Page 94 of 144

95 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": Menu item for new page has alias "connector-color-code": In such case old page is automatically redirecting to the new page: -> Types of banners currently added in admin panel 1. Banner on inside Mobile pages. 2. Run of site banners: Skyscraper(right-side), Baseboard(bottom), Leaderboard(top) on all inside pages, except for those listed below: 3. Copper Mountain pages: Skyscraper(right-side), Baseboard(bottom), Leaderboard(top): 4.
