1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
As you're creating articles for your Web site, you may wind up with some articles

2
00:00:03,001 --> 00:00:08,001
that you don't want, or your boss may come to your later and say, oh!

3
00:00:08,002 --> 00:00:13,002
By the way, that article that was on the site, well I don't want it on the site anymore.

4
00:00:13,003 --> 00:00:16,003
So I want to show you how you can manage your articles using the states

5
00:00:16,004 --> 00:00:20,004
of Published, Unpublished, and Trashed and comparing and contrasting

6
00:00:20,005 --> 00:00:21,005
those particular states.

7
00:00:21,006 --> 00:00:26,006
So I'm going to start by going to my Article Manager, and here inside my

8
00:00:26,007 --> 00:00:30,007
Article Manager, I have all these articles that I've been creating through

9
00:00:30,008 --> 00:00:31,008
the course of this last chapter.

10
00:00:31,009 --> 00:00:35,009
So, I'm going to go ahead and create another one right now just by clicking on

11
00:00:35,010 --> 00:00:39,010
the New Button and I'm just going to call this Trash me!

12
00:00:39,011 --> 00:00:44,011
I'm going to leave it in Uncategorized and I'm just going to put in some text Trash me!

13
00:00:44,012 --> 00:00:49,012
I'm going to go ahead and say Save & Close.

14
00:00:49,013 --> 00:00:52,013
So right now, I have that article.

15
00:00:52,014 --> 00:00:56,014
If I scroll on down here in my Article Manager, I can find it,

16
00:00:56,015 --> 00:00:59,015
it's down here under T, Trash me! There is my article.

17
00:00:59,016 --> 00:01:03,016
So right now, this article is published to the Web site, and you know that it's

18
00:01:03,017 --> 00:01:05,017
published because there's a checkmark next to it.

19
00:01:05,018 --> 00:01:09,018
This indicates that the article is published and available to display

20
00:01:09,019 --> 00:01:10,019
on the front end of the Web site.

21
00:01:10,020 --> 00:01:15,020
If I click on this green checkmark, I can toggle this to another state which

22
00:01:15,021 --> 00:01:17,021
is called Unpublished.

23
00:01:17,022 --> 00:01:22,022
So, when my article is unpublished, there's a red X that shows up here.


24
00:01:22,023 --> 00:01:25,023
What that means is, it's still here inside of Joomla!

25
00:01:25,024 --> 00:01:30,024
it's still available, and I can get to it here on the back end, I can manipulate it,

26
00:01:30,025 --> 00:01:34,025
it just doesn't display on the front end of the Web site.

27
00:01:34,026 --> 00:01:38,026
That might be useful if I have an article that I am working on.

28
00:01:38,027 --> 00:01:42,027
But it's not quite ready to go live yet, or maybe I have an article that

29
00:01:42,028 --> 00:01:47,028
is seasonal, maybe I want to show a particular article at certain times of the year.

30
00:01:47,029 --> 00:01:51,029
But, at the other times of the year, I don't want it to show in my Web site,

31
00:01:51,030 --> 00:01:55,030
and I just like to unpublish it and then republish it when the correct season

32
00:01:55,031 --> 00:01:56,031
comes around again.

33
00:01:56,032 --> 00:02:00,032
That is a great way to manage things like any sort of holiday-related articles

34
00:02:00,033 --> 00:02:05,033
or articles related to changing seasons, whatever it happens to be.

35
00:02:05,034 --> 00:02:09,034
The third state that we have for our articles is actually to trash these.

36
00:02:09,035 --> 00:02:11,035
In other words, send them to the trash.

37
00:02:11,036 --> 00:02:16,036
And the way that you do that is simply put a checkmark next to the article name

38
00:02:16,037 --> 00:02:18,037
and click the Trash button up here on the top.

39
00:02:18,038 --> 00:02:21,038
That will send the article to the trash.

40
00:02:21,039 --> 00:02:23,039
You don't see it here in the list anymore.

41
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:28,040
And of course, the Trash works just like the Trash that's on your desktop,

42
00:02:28,041 --> 00:02:30,041
on your Mac, or your Windows computer.

43
00:02:30,042 --> 00:02:33,042
When you put things in the Trash, they are sitting in the Trashcan.

44
00:02:33,043 --> 00:02:37,043
You can't do anything with them, you can't access them, but they aren't quite

45
00:02:37,044 --> 00:02:39,044
gone forever just yet.

46
00:02:39,045 --> 00:02:44,045
You can always go into the Trash and drag them out again, likewise in Joomla!

47
00:02:44,046 --> 00:02:47,046
So right now, our article called Trash me!

48
00:02:47,047 --> 00:02:48,047
is sitting in the Trash.

49
00:02:48,048 --> 00:02:51,048
And we can drag it out of the Trash if we want.

50
00:02:51,049 --> 00:02:56,049
But, you're not going to see it here in this view, you can't get to it from here.

51
00:02:56,050 --> 00:03:00,050
What you have to do is using these filters over here on the left side of the

52
00:03:00,051 --> 00:03:04,051
screen, I can go into the Trash, and I can see actually here I've got a

53
00:03:04,052 --> 00:03:05,052
couple of articles.

54
00:03:05,053 --> 00:03:06,053
I made this one called Trash me!

55
00:03:06,054 --> 00:03:10,054
and I trashed an article, I duplicated something earlier today by mistake,


56
00:03:10,055 --> 00:03:13,055
so I actually have more than one thing here in the Trash.

57
00:03:13,056 --> 00:03:17,056
And, so now what I'd like to do is take this Trash me!

58
00:03:17,057 --> 00:03:18,057
article out of the trash.

59
00:03:18,058 --> 00:03:23,058
So, if I decided that I really didn't mean to delete it, what I can do is put a

60
00:03:23,059 --> 00:03:27,059
checkmark by this and click the Check in button, that will move it out, or

61
00:03:27,060 --> 00:03:30,060
I can click on this little trashcan right here.

62
00:03:30,061 --> 00:03:33,061
And if I click on that, I'm going to actually publish the item again.

63
00:03:33,062 --> 00:03:38,062
So now, in terms of my articles that are already trashed, well I have got this one.

64
00:03:38,063 --> 00:03:42,063
You may not have any at all listed on your screen, depending on what you've done

65
00:03:42,064 --> 00:03:43,064
with your copy of Joomla!

66
00:03:43,065 --> 00:03:51,065
And when I switch back to Published, I will find that trashed article is listed right here.

67
00:03:51,066 --> 00:03:52,066
It's back again.

68
00:03:52,067 --> 00:03:58,067
So, once again, I can trash this article again, checking next to that and

69
00:03:58,068 --> 00:04:01,068
clicking on the Trash icon to move it to the Trash.

70
00:04:01,069 --> 00:04:06,069
And if I want to get rid of selected article from the trash like Trash me! here,

71
00:04:06,070 --> 00:04:11,070
I can put a check by it, and I can say Empty Trash.

72
00:04:11,071 --> 00:04:13,071
That will get rid of that one article only.

73
00:04:13,072 --> 00:04:16,072
It actually leaves everything else in the Trash that's not checked.

74
00:04:16,073 --> 00:04:20,073
If I wanted to get rid of everything, I'd of course need to check that also,

75
00:04:20,074 --> 00:04:23,074
and click on Empty Trash to get rid of this other article as well.

76
00:04:23,075 --> 00:04:28,075
So, that's how you can get rid of something entirely.

77
00:04:28,076 --> 00:04:32,076
Now that I've trashed those two particular articles, they are unrecoverable.

78
00:04:32,077 --> 00:04:36,077
I cannot go back and I can't pull them out of the Trash, just like it works on

79
00:04:36,078 --> 00:04:38,078
your Windows or your Macintosh computer.

80
00:04:38,079 --> 00:04:42,079
Once you've actually trashed something in the Trash and it's gone, you've

81
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,080
emptied the Trash, there's no way to get those articles back.

82
00:04:45,081 --> 00:04:47,081
Same here in Joomla!

83
00:04:47,082 --> 00:04:51,082
I really recommend that you use the Unpublished feature more than the Trashed feature,

84
00:04:51,083 --> 00:04:54,083
because you can always recover from any mistakes that you make by

85
00:04:54,084 --> 00:04:58,084
unpublishing something very easily. Just switch it back to the Published state.

86
00:04:58,085 --> 00:05:04,085
But, if that doesn't work for you where you really, truly want to get rid of that

87
00:05:04,086 --> 00:05:07,086
particular article, the Trash is here, and you can certainly use it.

88
00:05:07,087 --> 00:05:11,087
Just keep in mind that when you empty the Trash, it's gone forever.

89
00:05:11,088 --> 00:05:15,088
And if you drag something to the Trash and somebody else is working on the

90
00:05:15,089 --> 00:05:18,089
Web site and they trash it forever, it still just is gone.

91
00:05:18,090 --> 00:05:21,090
So, if you think you might ever need it again, I really recommend just

92
00:05:21,091 --> 00:05:22,091
using Unpublishing.

93
00:05:22,092 --> 00:05:28,092
That's the way Publishing, Unpublishing, and Trashing things work inside of Joomla!

94
00:05:28,093 --> 00:05:30,093
with your articles.
