Editing Articles

Last updated: 29 March 2022

The article editor is where you can you edit and update your article change the title and url alias. On the right hand side you will find a sidebar with different additional properties for the articles. 

The article view is multi-lingual aware. Meaning that if your site is multi-lingual TEXTman will show the article only for the selected language.

Category

An article can be assigned to a single category. If you have permission to do so, you can also create a new category from within the article form.

Tags

Tags are a useful way to group together related articles, quickly informing readers about the topics that an article covers, not to mention that tags make finding your content a breeze. The use of tags within Joomla! is completely optional.

Aside from selecting tags for the article, you can also create new tags immediately, assuming you have permission to do so.

Image

Featured image is integrated within Joomla Content's Intro Image, it also doubles as the Full Article Image whenever one is not explicitly set. One really cool aspect of Featured Image is that it serves as the opengraph image for your article, no more random image when your site's articles are shared on social media sites.

Note: Uploaded featured images will be resized in accordance with the maximum dimensions you select in TEXTman's settings.
