1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
The next thing I'd like to do on this Web site is add a link to my navigation

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,000
that will encourage people to sign up, and become distributors.

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,000
I'd like that link to show in the navigation if you're just visiting the

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Web site, and you're not logged in at all,

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,000
but if you log in to the Web site, and you've already defined that if you log

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
in, you're a distributor, then I would like that link to become a distributor to disappear.

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
You've already signed up as a distributor, so there's no need for you to

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,000
see that link at all.

9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,000
So, I would like to go ahead and do that now, and I am going to do it using the

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Guest level permission.

11
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,000
So, I'm going to hop into my back-end of Joomla

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,000
here, and I am going to do exactly what I just did in the previous video.

13
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
I am going to make a category, an article, and a menu Item for this particular

14
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000
page that will talk about becoming a distributor.

15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000
I am going to configure things with the Guest level access.

16
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Then I'll show you how that works on the front-end.

17
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,000
So I am going to start by going to Content > Category Manager,

18
00:00:53,000 --> 00:01:01,000
I am going to add a new category, and the title will be Guest Level Items.

19
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,000
I'm going to set the Parent here to be English, and my Language will be

20
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,000
English, and my Access level in this case is going to be Guest.

21
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,000
So, I am going to set my Access level here to Guest.

22
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,000
And once again, as I explained before, that Access level that I set on the

23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
category will cascade down, and be inherited by any articles that are contained

24
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,000
within this category.

25
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:28,000
So I am going to go ahead and say Save & Close, and there is my Guest

26
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Level Items down here.

27
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Okay, so now I am going to add an article.

28
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,000
So I am going to switch over to my Article Manager, click on my New Button,

29
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,000
and in your Exercise Files, I have given you this text here.

30
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:47,000
So the Title of this article is going to be Become a KinetECO Distributor, and

31
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:52,000
the Category for this, of course, is Guest Level Items, and I'm going to copy and

32
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,000
paste in my text here;

33
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,000
so Ctrl or Command+Z, Ctrl or Command+V to paste that on in.

34
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,000
And then scrolling on down here, over on the side, my Access level is going to be

35
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Guest again, and my Language is going to be English.

36
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:14,000
And yes, although it inherited the Guest Access level from the category, I like

37
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000
to label all of my articles with their access levels as well;

38
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000
it may help me later in debugging.

39
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,000
If I leave everything set to Public, sometimes I get confused about what level

40
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,000
is actually inherited by each of these individual articles.

41
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,000
So I am going to go ahead and say Save & Close.

42
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,000
So, as you see here, there's my new article; it's called Become a

43
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,000
KinetECO Distributor.

44
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,000
It's in the Category of Guest Level Items, with an Access level of Guest, and the

45
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Language of English.

46
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,000
Now I am going to go ahead and link this up to the Web site.

47
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Categories, articles, menus;

48
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
menu is the next thing to do.

49
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,000
So I am going to go to Menus > English Menu, and I am going to make a new menu

50
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,000
item by clicking the New button.

51
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,000
And my Menu Item Type, I am going to hit my Select button here, under Articles,

52
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,000
just a Single Article. Which article am I going to select,? It's going to be

53
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Become a KinetECO Distributor.

54
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,000
So I am going to go ahead and select that.

55
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,000
I am just going to say Become a Distributor, because the title with KinetECO in

56
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,000
it is just a little bit long.

57
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000
This is going to go on the English menu.

58
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,000
I want it at the Menu Item Root.

59
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:23,000
And my Language will be English, and then over here, my Access level will be a Guest level.

60
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,000
And that is very important; you definitely need to set your Access level on

61
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:34,000
your menu item, because menu items are handled differently than the content, and the articles are.

62
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,000
So, even though this is available to anyone who is not logged in to the

63
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Web site, by setting the Access level to Guest, what will happen is, if you are

64
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000
logged in to the Web site, by setting your menu item to an Access level of Guest,

65
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:52,000
you're ensuring that this menu item will disappear when somebody is logged in to the Web site.

66
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,000
Okay, go ahead and say Save & Close.

67
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Now when I come to the front-end of the Web site, and I refresh, here's my link

68
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,000
for Become a Distributor.

69
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,000
When I click on that, I have my Become a Distributor Web page. That's great!

70
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Now, when I go down here to Login, and I log in, let's say, as Joe, with a Password

71
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,000
of 123456, and I say Login,

72
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,000
notice that my link over here that was called Become a Distributor has

73
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:24,000
disappeared, and I now have a link that is For Distributors. Very cool!

74
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,000
And if I happen to log out of the Web site again, clicking on the Login link down

75
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,000
here on the bottom, clicking on the Log out button, my link switches back to

76
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000
Become a Distributor.

77
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
So that is really quite awesome.

78
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000
And so the guest functionality that's now built into Joomla! 3

79
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,000
is incredibly helpful.
