1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000 In my last video I cleaned up these articles, so that we don't have linked 2 00:00:05,001 --> 00:00:09,001 titles anymore, we got rid of who the author was, we got rid of the publication 3 00:00:09,002 --> 00:00:12,002 dates, a bunch of stuff went away. 4 00:00:12,003 --> 00:00:16,003 And the pages are looking a lot better. But now that I have done all of that. 5 00:00:16,004 --> 00:00:20,004 I am having second thoughts about this Solar blog page, because the Solar 6 00:00:20,005 --> 00:00:24,005 blog page, what I'd really like to have happen here is, I think I'd like to 7 00:00:24,006 --> 00:00:29,006 keep these linked titles, so that I can click on them to go to the full 8 00:00:29,007 --> 00:00:30,007 version of the article. 9 00:00:30,008 --> 00:00:34,008 And then there sees Read More links underneath, I don't really like the styling 10 00:00:34,009 --> 00:00:35,009 of these buttons on this particular design. 11 00:00:35,010 --> 00:00:39,010 And so I think I'd like to get rid of the Read More button all together. 12 00:00:39,011 --> 00:00:43,011 And just have the article end there, and if people wanted to read the full 13 00:00:43,012 --> 00:00:46,012 version of the article they could click on the title here and that would take 14 00:00:46,013 --> 00:00:48,013 them to the full version of the page. 15 00:00:48,014 --> 00:00:53,014 So what I need to do is I need to override my Global Settings. 16 00:00:53,015 --> 00:00:56,015 So in my previous video I set Global Settings for all of my articles. 17 00:00:56,016 --> 00:01:00,016 Now what I need to do is override those settings, just for the Solar blog. 18 00:01:00,017 --> 00:01:04,017 So the articles that are going to be impacted by this change are all located 19 00:01:04,018 --> 00:01:07,018 under a single menu item. Fortunately Joomla! offers a way 20 00:01:07,019 --> 00:01:14,019 that I can change all of these articles under a single menu item, 21 00:01:14,020 --> 00:01:17,020 and I can turn on those link titles again and I can get rid of those Read More buttons, 22 00:01:17,021 --> 00:01:22,021 so to do that I am going to go into the backend of Joomla! and 23 00:01:22,022 --> 00:01:24,022 I am going to go back to my Menu Manager. 24 00:01:24,023 --> 00:01:31,023 So I am going to go to Menus>Main Menu and I am going to find my Solar blog item. 25 00:01:31,024 --> 00:01:35,024 Go ahead and click on that, and then I am going to go to the Advanced Options. 26 00:01:35,025 --> 00:01:42,025 And under the Advanced Options, if you go to the Article Options, located under here. 27 00:01:42,026 --> 00:01:47,026 This will override these global settings, so all this Use Global stuff, 28 00:01:47,027 --> 00:01:48,027 that's where that was set; 29 00:01:48,028 --> 00:01:52,028 it was set in the Article Options, that's a global setting. 30 00:01:52,029 --> 00:01:55,029 If we set things up here with a different value, it will override whatever 31 00:01:55,030 --> 00:01:57,030 is set in the Global Article Options. 32 00:01:57,031 --> 00:02:04,031 So what I'd like to do is have, Yes, let's have Linked Titles and what I'd like 33 00:02:04,032 --> 00:02:09,032 to do is that Read More button, I'd like that to go away, so Show "Read More." 34 00:02:09,033 --> 00:02:11,033 I'd like to say Hide. 35 00:02:11,034 --> 00:02:20,034 And Show Title with Read More, we'll hide that as well, so now if I go ahead and say Save. 36 00:02:20,035 --> 00:02:23,035 And I refresh my Solar page. 37 00:02:23,036 --> 00:02:26,036 Now I have my titles here that are linked. 38 00:02:26,037 --> 00:02:32,037 So I can click on these and go to the full text of my blog post, but I don't 39 00:02:32,038 --> 00:02:37,038 have those Read More buttons anymore, and I just have them linked here on this page. 40 00:02:37,039 --> 00:02:42,039 If I go someplace like the News & Info page, I still have Read More buttons here 41 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,040 and I do not have those linked titles. 42 00:02:45,041 --> 00:02:50,041 So this might be another page that I wish to change or alternatively I could 43 00:02:50,042 --> 00:02:51,042 leave it in this kind of layout. 44 00:02:51,043 --> 00:02:57,043 It's sort of up to you as to what you'd like to do on a blog by blog basis, but 45 00:02:57,044 --> 00:03:03,044 that is how we can set on override on the menu level to override our 46 00:03:03,045 --> 00:03:06,045 Global Article Options that we configured.
