1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000 So, in the last video, we created a list of contacts here, but this page is not 2 00:00:05,001 --> 00:00:09,001 really displaying all that well, and it's little bit hard to follow. 3 00:00:09,002 --> 00:00:14,002 So let's see what we can do to clean this up using some of the options available to us. 4 00:00:14,003 --> 00:00:16,003 So here inside of the back-end of Joomla, 5 00:00:16,004 --> 00:00:21,004 If I go back to Components back to Contacts > Contacts, and I'm going to click on 6 00:00:21,005 --> 00:00:24,005 the Options button here on the top of the page. 7 00:00:24,006 --> 00:00:28,006 And as you've seen before in some of the other areas of the Web site, the 8 00:00:28,007 --> 00:00:32,007 Options is where you can configure what shows and what is hidden on the Web site. 9 00:00:32,008 --> 00:00:37,008 I'm going to go to the List Layouts tab, and here under List Layouts, this 10 00:00:37,009 --> 00:00:41,009 is referring to the page that we're looking at here on the front-end to the Web site. 11 00:00:41,010 --> 00:00:43,010 So I'm going to turn some things off. 12 00:00:43,011 --> 00:00:47,011 The Display Select is this dropdown that appears right here. 13 00:00:47,012 --> 00:00:50,012 I don't really need that, so I'm going to Hide that. 14 00:00:50,013 --> 00:00:53,013 Our Table Headings are set to Show; I don't really want them showing, so I'm 15 00:00:53,014 --> 00:00:58,014 going to set them to Hide as well. I can show the Position of the person on 16 00:00:58,015 --> 00:01:02,015 the page; I think that will be helpful, because it will help us know who you 17 00:01:02,016 --> 00:01:03,016 want to contact from the list, 18 00:01:03,017 --> 00:01:06,017 so I'm going to go ahead and keep that to Show. 19 00:01:06,018 --> 00:01:07,018 I'll keep the Email address hidden. 20 00:01:07,019 --> 00:01:10,019 That's their actual e-mail address. When you click through on there, you'll see 21 00:01:10,020 --> 00:01:13,020 the contact form, and they can contact you from there. 22 00:01:13,021 --> 00:01:17,021 I'm going to show their Phone number as well. Hide the Mobile and the Fax. 23 00:01:17,022 --> 00:01:21,022 I'm actually going to Hide the City, State, and Country as well. 24 00:01:21,023 --> 00:01:24,023 The reason why is because these are all people who are living in exactly the 25 00:01:24,024 --> 00:01:29,024 same city and state, so I don't really feel the need to show that three times. 26 00:01:29,025 --> 00:01:37,025 And then if I just go ahead and say Save, and I refresh this page, 27 00:01:37,026 --> 00:01:40,026 so now you can see that I have my first link here. 28 00:01:40,027 --> 00:01:43,027 Here's my generic link, with the phone number listed over here on the side. 29 00:01:43,028 --> 00:01:47,028 The second link is Sally Kerner, and her title; her phone number is listed all 30 00:01:47,029 --> 00:01:53,029 the way over here. And if I wanted to, I could just turn off the phone numbers 31 00:01:53,030 --> 00:01:55,030 here in this view also. 32 00:01:55,031 --> 00:01:59,031 It looks like this is the way that this is set up to display here through CSS. 33 00:01:59,032 --> 00:02:04,032 You could certainly use CSS to change the way this page looks, but changing the 34 00:02:04,033 --> 00:02:07,033 CSS is kind of beyond the scope of this course. 35 00:02:07,034 --> 00:02:10,034 What I will do is I will just turn off the phone number here. 36 00:02:10,035 --> 00:02:16,035 And if I go back to my List Layouts tab, and I scroll on down to Phone, and I say 37 00:02:16,036 --> 00:02:22,036 Hide that, and say Save & Close, and I refresh my page again, then I just have a 38 00:02:22,037 --> 00:02:24,037 list of people here. 39 00:02:24,038 --> 00:02:29,038 And now when I click through on any one of these, you can see that June Su 40 00:02:29,039 --> 00:02:33,039 Woo is a legal counsel, you have her address, you have her phone number, it's listed here, 41 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,040 and you can send her an e-mail right here, all within the same page. 42 00:02:37,041 --> 00:02:42,041 So these contact lists are a fairly useful piece of functionality inside of 43 00:02:42,042 --> 00:02:46,042 Joomla. You can have contacts for more than one category, you can list 44 00:02:46,043 --> 00:02:49,043 categories of contacts; if you need to list many, many people in the Web site, 45 00:02:49,044 --> 00:02:51,044 that's a great way to go about it. 46 00:02:51,045 --> 00:02:55,045 It's nice to include titles associated with the people here, so there is a 47 00:02:55,046 --> 00:02:59,046 little bit of guidance as to who might be the right person to contact with a 48 00:02:59,047 --> 00:03:03,047 specific question or concern for your Web site. 49 00:03:03,048 --> 00:03:07,048 So I've showed you two ways do this; one is through the single contact, for just 50 00:03:07,049 --> 00:03:11,049 one contact, for a very simple Web site. Here we have a list of contacts for a 51 00:03:11,050 --> 00:03:14,050 bigger company. So the contact component in Joomla 52 00:03:14,051 --> 00:03:19,051 is fairly useful, it's configurable, and give it a shot on your Joomla 53 00:03:19,052 --> 00:03:20,052 Web site.
