Log Into Joomla!’s back end:
Go to your Joomla! website and log into the back end by typing in your user details.(Figure 1)
Go to your Joomla! website and log into the back end by typing in your user details.(Figure 1)
Create a New Category in the Contacts
Component:In Joomla!’s back end menu, go to the components menu. In the
list of sub menu’s that drop down you will see the contacts manager. The
contacts anager also has sub menus that pop out to the right. Select
the categories menu. (Figure 2)
Note: Category Aliases are totally optional, but strongly recommended for Joomla! 1.5 default Search Engine Optimized URLs. (SEO URLs)
While it isn’t required, you might want to go ahead and put in a description of the contact category you’ve created. (Figure 5)
Once
you have a title, alias and description you can save the contact
category. Saving the category will take you back to the contact category
manager. (Figure 6)
Create a C ontact Entry:Now that you
have a contacts category, you can add to it with entries, such as
businesses, organizations, etc… Go back to the contacts menu, and rather
than clicking categories, click contacts. (Figure 7)
The
next screen will display a title, which is required, and optionally an
alias. The last area we need to check is the category. This is going to
be the category we just created. Click the drop box and select the
appropriate category. (Figure 9)
Once
you’ve finished adding all the information you want, you can also
change parameters on the right to suit. Save the contact, you will be
taken back to the Contacts Manager. (Figure 10)
Create a Contact Category Layout: Go
to the menus menu, for the purpose of this demonstration, we will be
creating a menu item (specifically a contact category layout item) in
the main menu menu. (Figure 11)
Once
you reach the menu manager for the main menu, on the right there are
several icons, click new to create a new menu. (Figure 12)
On the next screen you need to choose why type of menu to create. Select the Contacts type. (Figure 13)
The
next screen shows the two different types of contact menu items you can
create. For the purpose of a ‘business directory’, you should should
select the contact category layout type. (Figure 14)
The
menu Item Editor will give you the opportunity to insert a menu Item
title, as well as an alias, and then select which menu you want the item
to be displayed on. (Figure 15)
There
is one last step before you can save the menu item and return to the
menu manager, and that is to select the category of contacts you want
this menu item to be driven to. This is done through the parameter tab
on the right. Select the same category that we created and entered a
contact item into. (Figure 16)
This method of using the Joomla! Contact Component
gives Joomla! 1.5 a nice ‘business directory’ like function. A nice
addition to any business directory is showing all the ‘categories’ in
once place, so that people can see them all. So, keep reading if you’d
like to find out how to do this little extra ‘trick’ to spice up your
Joomla! directory.
Additional Trick: Create An Article Displaying All Your Contact Categories.
