Create a Section or Category

Section Creation

To create a new section login to the administration control panel and click on the Section Manager icon (or select Content > Section Manager from the menu bar).

Click on the New button (top right of window).

You must fill out the following fields of the Details section of the next window:

  • Title
  • Alias (short title)
  • Published (No/Yes radio buttons)
  • Access Level (For example, you can restrict content to registered users here)

You do no need to select an image, image position or fill in the description.

The description will be displayed as an introduction to the content for certain menu display options.

When you are done editing these items, click on the Save button (top left).

Category Creation

Categories are created in almost the same way as Sections after choosing the Category Manager icon or menu. The only difference is the Details section of the Category Manager contains one other field that must be selected. It is the Section field which must be selected from a drop down list (in other words the section must be created first).
