Organize your Sections, Categories and content in Joomla
9) because we have implicitly decided to treat our recipes as special items in the category of recipes, at this point you need to create or modify users who are able to upload the articles. Mambo in which users can perform these operations with a certain autonomy in the category Editor or (even better) to the most powerful category Publisher, we will use in the category Editor
10) to create a new user in this category, select the menu Site> User Management> Add / Edit Users, click New and give your name, username, passwor, select the group (Editor) and spuntra No item on the Block user, then click the Save icon
11) At this point we have to create a menu item that points to the list of recipes, ie the contents of class recipes, to do this, click Menu> Main Menu and click the New icon on the usual
12) in the screen that you will select the entry Table – Content Category and click the Next button
12) in the title box, write recipes in the category box, click on Cooking / Recipes (ie the couple section / category that we created earlier), make sure the public voice has the value Yes and click the Save icon, you just created a menu item that leads to the list of recipes!
13) Now, finally, we must give the possibility to the users in the group editor to enter their prescription directly from the front end of the site (ie without going into the admin panel) to do this simply add a menu item (see Only users who have authenticated by logging in) leading editor of the recipes in the appropriate category
14) the most suitable menu to insert this new entry is, of course, the User Menu, which has the characteristic of not being visible to ordinary visitors to the site (ie those who have not logged in)
15) to point to the category Recipes properly and not risk, for example, to insert an article in news we get a numeretto, the identification numbers of the Recipes section: sectionid and catid
16) to procure the item back to see recipes in the main menu, select Menu> Main Menu and click on the item recipes, and the URL entry should read something like
index.php? option = com_content & task = category & Section nid = 3 & id = 67 & Itemid = 44
notes and move on …
17) select Menu> User Menu and click the New icon
18) in the screen that appears, choose the item link – URL and press the Next button
19) Leave the next screen write a recipe (or whatever you like) into the Name box, and type in the box Link
index.php? option = com_content & task = new & sectionid = 3 & Itemid = 44
making sure to write down the section and itemid you’ve read above (in paragraph 16); click the Save icon to confirm and you’re done!
Obviously there are several points where they can be included but the refinements already so it works exactly as you wanted.
