Mambo Content

How to manage Mambo content items?

In order to create and publish a Content Item, please go to the Content menu and select All Content Items.

All the items that have been included in Mambo article list to date will be displayed. You will be able to either edit and manage the existing ones, or create new ones by clicking the respective icon:

The process of creating a new article is very similar to the one through which the sections and the categories are being created. This time you will need to select both the parenting section and category, in order to build the last level of the hierarchy.

This time, instead of description you will be able to enter a short introductory text, that will appear in the main section or category page, or at the starting page of your website in case you publish the item to the front page of your Mambo. Again, you will be able to determine where does the item appear in menus, add pictures, manage authorship and publishing date, etc. When done, click the Save icon to complete the creation process. You will be able to see the new item listed in the Content manager.

The last thing to go in order to have the item online is to publish it - just click on the red X and that will publish the article.

You can also change the order in which the articles appear through clicking the up- and down-pointed triangles respectively. That can also be done through changing the number in the Order box that you see on the same line and then pressing the Enter key on your keyboard: the smaller the number in the box, the higher the article appears. The changes will automatically be applied and you will see the changes when the screen refreshes.
