Latest 2 hour Joomla Learning 30/10/2011 Update...

Well again something learnt, though having played with Drupal some time ago. Looking for multiple image upload and making the text start at the top left/right of the image was expected.

So without loading any extra modules I selected the Flash Image upload feature, created folders/subfolders and the evidence is to be seen.

An image gallery is required, and the option for comments to be left. On the of chance that someone actually finding any of this useful??

Changing the default logo/banner, the top menu (not sure if i would use this?? and moving the font size and search bar. I like the font size option but as icons. currently they take up too much screen.

So wishing everyone/anyone A Happy Halloween. Movie of my Zombie face coming soon. Until next time. @ZTrenchcoat

Hello (anyone/everyone), Happy Halloween!

I am working at putting an .avi file showing me making my Zombie face.

So today ive been adding my own set of categories and un-publishing the default test data. How quickly does this reduce the other test articles from showing!!!

Have i missed something though, I thought there were Sections and then Categories for each? I gather now they all come under Categories?

So what else today? Not just content but Images speak a thousand words. Which is great for me as my writing is very poor!!!

Menu's 23/10/2011 Continued...

Mmmm Ok not completely sure why my earlier attempt does not work. As you can see I now have a new menu; ok the items don't go any where of interest. As the two 'Home' Items have different layout format shows these two similar Menu Items are separate entities.

A positive step, I think!

Hello (anyone/everyone)

oh boy Menu's! It seems a very complicated process. I am using the test data provided with the installation.

I understand that although what looks to be on the left side of the screen are menus but they first start of as Modules??

Now the grey/confusing stuff????

I tried to copy the 'This Site' Menu Items to a new Menu called 'My Home Menu'. What I had hoped to acheive was work out how the same Menu Item 'Example Pages' from the two similar Menu/Modules can point to different Article/Information/Pages??

Nope not working. Something simple I am sure??

Now I am saving this blurb under the Joomla Category and i fear it will not show up in the main page. That is another 2 hour learning session.

UPDATE it has shown up??? Is this because i set it to featured???
