1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000 So I've just spent the last bunch of videos talking about modules, 2 00:00:05,001 --> 00:00:09,001 and all of these modules have appeared on the front end of the Web site. 3 00:00:09,002 --> 00:00:14,002 But, Joomla! actually has a whole another set of modules that you haven't even thought about yet. 4 00:00:14,003 --> 00:00:20,003 If you take a look at the page that's right here on the screen, this is in fact a Joomla! 5 00:00:20,004 --> 00:00:26,004 template and inside of the Joomla! template is some content and some modules. 6 00:00:26,005 --> 00:00:30,005 There are actually Administrator modules that appear inside of Joomla! as well. 7 00:00:30,006 --> 00:00:33,006 And I wanted to introduce you to these Joomla! 8 00:00:33,007 --> 00:00:38,007 modules down in the administrator side of things because they can be very handy. 9 00:00:38,008 --> 00:00:42,008 Way back in the beginning of the course I talked about the lack of Joomla!'s 10 00:00:42,009 --> 00:00:45,009 version number showing up anywhere here inside of the Joomla! 11 00:00:45,010 --> 00:00:49,010 administrator interface, and that's kind of inconvenient. 12 00:00:49,011 --> 00:00:53,011 I showed you a workaround for that, if you go under System and you go to 13 00:00:53,012 --> 00:00:57,012 the System Information, you can take a look at what the Joomla! version is, 14 00:00:57,013 --> 00:01:01,013 but you don't see it directly on the screen the way we used to 15 00:01:01,014 --> 00:01:04,014 in previous versions of Joomla!. This actually happens to me... a Joomla! 16 00:01:04,015 --> 00:01:09,015 module that we can turn on and configure. So let's see how that works. 17 00:01:09,016 --> 00:01:12,016 Under Extensions we're still going to go to Module Manager. 18 00:01:12,017 --> 00:01:16,017 But if you look over here on the left side of the screen, we've been filtering 19 00:01:16,018 --> 00:01:20,018 these modules here for the site and also right above this you'll notice 20 00:01:20,019 --> 00:01:23,019 we have tabs for Site and Administrator. 21 00:01:23,020 --> 00:01:26,020 If I either change my Filter to Administrator or click on the Administrator link here, 22 00:01:26,021 --> 00:01:32,021 either way it does the same thing, this shows me all of the administrator 23 00:01:32,022 --> 00:01:36,022 modules that appear in the administrator side of this Web site. 24 00:01:36,023 --> 00:01:42,023 So I have things like Logged-in Users, Popular Articles, and Recently Added Articles 25 00:01:42,024 --> 00:01:45,024 that appear in the position of Cpanel. 26 00:01:45,025 --> 00:01:50,025 And if you go back to your Control Panel you'll see that that is in fact 27 00:01:50,026 --> 00:01:54,026 what's here, the LOGGED-IN USERS, the POPULAR ARTICLES, and the RECENTLY ADDED ARTICLES. 28 00:01:54,027 --> 00:02:01,027 So you can use your reordering abilities to reorder those if you wanted 29 00:02:01,028 --> 00:02:05,028 something to appear further up on the page. Down here it says that there is a Joomla! 30 00:02:05,029 --> 00:02:08,029 version that currently occurs in the footer of this template. 31 00:02:08,030 --> 00:02:12,030 But if we scroll down to the footer, I certainly don't see it there. 32 00:02:12,031 --> 00:02:19,031 So what I'd like to do is change the position of this Joomla Version from footer to Cpanel. 33 00:02:19,032 --> 00:02:24,032 So what I am going to do is click on Joomla Version here and this is going to 34 00:02:24,033 --> 00:02:25,033 give me all of the Basic Options. 35 00:02:25,034 --> 00:02:30,034 What kind of version would I like, would I like the Short version or the Long version? 36 00:02:30,035 --> 00:02:33,035 Would I like to show the word Joomla! 37 00:02:33,036 --> 00:02:37,036 when I'm using the Short version or would I just like to see a number? 38 00:02:37,037 --> 00:02:40,037 Which might be something, if you are customizing this administrator template, maybe you 39 00:02:40,038 --> 00:02:42,038 don't want the word Joomla! to appear anywhere. 40 00:02:42,039 --> 00:02:46,039 This is the standard Advanced Options for any module inside of Joomla!. 41 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:51,040 So what I am going to do is I am going to change this position from the footer here. 42 00:02:51,041 --> 00:02:54,041 And this is inside of ISIS which is one of the administrator templates, 43 00:02:54,042 --> 00:02:59,042 and I am going to move this to Cpanel, and then I am going to say Save & Close. 44 00:02:59,043 --> 00:03:04,043 When I go back to the Control Panel for my Web site here, my Joomla Version shows 45 00:03:04,044 --> 00:03:07,044 up right here on the very top of the screen as Joomla! 3.0.1, 46 00:03:07,045 --> 00:03:10,045 it's the very first thing I see now. 47 00:03:10,046 --> 00:03:14,046 I love that right there, that's exactly what I want to see. 48 00:03:14,047 --> 00:03:19,047 But some of you may prefer to have this a little bit further down on the page, 49 00:03:19,048 --> 00:03:22,048 because maybe your clients are more interested in what articles have been added 50 00:03:22,049 --> 00:03:26,049 and what are the Popular Articles, so I could rearrange this. 51 00:03:26,050 --> 00:03:32,050 Back under Extensions>Module Manager, you see here that my Joomla Version is listed first. 52 00:03:32,051 --> 00:03:36,051 Switch over to make sure you're using the Ordering column for sorting, 53 00:03:36,052 --> 00:03:41,052 and you know that because the three dot icon here is a dark gray or black instead of 54 00:03:41,053 --> 00:03:44,053 the light gray, and now I can rearrange. 55 00:03:44,054 --> 00:03:48,054 So if I want my Joomla Version to appear at the bottom of the Control Panel, 56 00:03:48,055 --> 00:03:53,055 all I have to do is click and drag and let it go down here so that it will be the 57 00:03:53,056 --> 00:03:56,056 last module on the Control Panel. 58 00:03:56,057 --> 00:04:01,057 And now when I go back to my Control Panel I'll see that Joomla Version when 59 00:04:01,058 --> 00:04:03,058 I scroll down the page, so it's down here at the bottom. 60 00:04:03,059 --> 00:04:08,059 So you might want to take a look at some of those Administrator modules, 61 00:04:08,060 --> 00:04:13,060 make a backup of your site before you go do this just in case you happened to change a 62 00:04:13,061 --> 00:04:15,061 setting on something and you are not sure what you changed. 63 00:04:15,062 --> 00:04:21,062 Feel free to take a look at those Administrator modules and what kind of goodies are there. 64 00:04:21,063 --> 00:04:26,063 You can customize your interface and the information that's displayed here 65 00:04:26,064 --> 00:04:29,064 by taking a look at those Administrator modules.
