Description

Articles are the primary content units in Joomla. Every piece of text-based content on a Joomla website - a page, a news post, a blog entry - is stored as an article. This skill covers what articles are, how they are structured with categories, and how to create and manage them in the Joomla backend.

Goals

I know

  • what an article is and how it functions as the main content unit in Joomla
  • that articles must be assigned to a category
  • what fields the article editor contains (title, alias, category, content, status, featured)

I can

  • create a new article in the Joomla backend
  • set an article's title, category, and publication status
  • publish, unpublish, and feature an article
  • find and manage existing articles in the article list view
