3 Access Roles
3.1 General review
Access Control Levels (ACL) govern the permissions that are associated with the individual User
levels. There are seven (7) User Groups/levels within Joomla. Four (4) only have access to the
site front-end for limited content management and editing as well as Discussion Board
moderation: Registered, Author, Editor, and Publisher. There are also three (3) levels with
access to the full Joomla Administrator Back-end: Manager, Administrator, and Super
Administrator. In addition to the registered User Groups listed above there is a Public
(unregistered) or Guest, level.
3.2 Front-end groups
Login at http://www.microwaves101.com/user-login.
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 13 of 158
Front-end admins, have access to Admin Menu on front-end. This menu is placed on the right

2. Create Article: http://www.microwaves101.com/create-article
3. List of Articles: http://www.microwaves101.com/list-all-categories
4. Login/Logout: http://www.microwaves101.com/user-login
Admin Menu is available for users logged-in on the front-end:
http://www.microwaves101.com/user-login.
3.2.1 Registered Users
Registered - This allows the public to login to the front-end and post to the Discussion Board.
(http://www.microwaves101.com/discussion-board).
3.2.2 Author
Author - This level allows users to post content. They can submit new content, select options to
show the item on the front page, and select dates for publishing. They cannot directly publish
any content or access the work of other Authors. When content is submitted by an Author level
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 14 of 158
user, they receive the message, “Thanks for your submission. Your submission will now be
reviewed before being posted to the site.” They can log back in to edit their own articles, but only
when that article has been published and is visible.
3.2.3 Editor
Editor - This level allows a user to post and edit any (not just their own) content both published
and unpublished. Editors cannot publish or change the publishing status of any articles,
including their own.
3.2.4 Publisher
Publisher - This level allows a user to post, edit and publish any (not just their own) content
item. Publishers can review all articles, edit and change publishing options, and determine when
an article is ready for publication.
3.3 Create Article (page) on Front-end
As written above, Authors, Editors and Publishers have the ability to create a new Article. Use
this URL:
http://www.microwaves101.com/create-article
Or click on “Create Article” menu item in the Admin Menu:
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 15 of 158
Fill-in title of an Article, and add full text to JCE Editor, as is shown on screen below:
Select Category of new Article, in Publishing tab.
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 16 of 158
Click on Save link to save an Article:
When an Author, Editor or Publisher has saved a new article, all top level Administrators will see
Notification about submitted Article at the bottom of Joomla admin panel.
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 17 of 158
When an administrator clicks on envelope at the bottom of the page, he/she can see Message
about submitted Article:
The administrator should navigate to Content -> Article Manager, locate the unpublished article
added by Author, Editor or Publisher, and review. Upon approval, simply click to publish on the
live site.
3.4 Administration section groups
There are three (3) Administration section groups that allow access to Joomla.
Administration groups can login to the Administrative interface:
https://microwaves101.com/administrator/
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 18 of 158
3.4.1 Manager
Manager - This level allows access to content creation and other system information on the
Joomla backend. They can create or edit any content, access some Backend-only features like
adding, deleting and editing Sections and Categories or editing the Front Page and Menus. They
don’t have any access to the “mechanics” of Joomla, like user management or the ability to
install components or modules.
These menu items are available for Manager:
1. Content: Article, Category, Media Managers and Featured Articles.
2. Components: Kunena Forum (Discussion Board) and Simple Image Gallery Pro. Other
components are not useful.
3.4.2 Administrator
Administrator - This group allows access to most administration functions. An Administrator
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 19 of 158
has all the privileges of a Manager, but they also have access to set options, install/delete
components, modules and bots, User Manager access, and can view the site statistics. What
they cannot do is change, edit or install Site Templates or make any changes to the site’s Global
configuration options. When an Administrator accesses the User Manager list, they will see all
users at their access level or below. They can modify any user EXCEPT a Super Administrator –
in fact, they will not even see Super Administrator accounts in the list. Also, they cannot create
additional Super Administrator level accounts, only a Super Admin can do that.
Administrators see these menus in the Joomla Admin panel:
3.4.3 Super Administrator
Super Administrator - This group allows access to all administration functions. Only another
Super Administrator can create or edit a Super Administrator user account. Full access to ALL
AREAS is given to Super Administrators, and once created they cannot be as easily deleted.
You must change the user's group to something other than Super Administrator first in order to
delete them.

5 Working with Articles
5.1 Create a New Article (Page)
5.1.1 General Options
Navigate to Content -> Article Manager -> Add New Article.

 Fill in the body text of the new page.
Please see screenshot below of how the inside page of an Article looks in admin panel.
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 26 of 158
NOTE: You should click on the “Save & Close” button to save your changes. If you click
only the “Save” button, other users may not be able to edit the Article when they login at
a later time.
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 27 of 158
5.1.2 Publishing Options
To manage publishing options, use the Publishing tab. This tab allows you to enter parameters
for an Article, as shown below:
These entries are optional. Joomla automatically creates default entries for these values.
Created by. Name of the Joomla user who created this item. This will default to the currently
logged-in user. If you want to change this to a different user, click the Select User button.
Created By Alias. This optional field allows you to enter an alias for the Author of an Article.
Created Date. This field defaults to the current time the Article was created. You can enter in a
different date and time or click on the calendar icon to find the desired date.
Start Publishing. Date and time to start publishing. Use this field if you want to enter content
ahead of time and then have it published automatically at a future time.
Finish Publishing. Date and time to finish publishing. Use this field if you want to have
content automatically removed from the site by changing to the Unpublished state at a future
time (for example, when it is no longer applicable).
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 28 of 158
If an Article was published but then expired (due to a finish date being entered as per previous
paragraph) an orange symbol is displayed in the list of Articles:
Modified By. Displays who last edited the article. Note this field is non-editable.
Modified Date. Date and time the article was last modified. Note this field is non-editable.
Revision. This indicates the number of times an article has been edited. Note this field is noneditable.
Hits. The number of times an item has been viewed.
5.1.3 Metadata Options
To add meta tags, use the Metadata section displayed on Publishing tab.
This section allows you to enter Metadata information for an article. Metadata is information
about the Article that is not displayed but is available to search engines and other systems to
classify the Article. This gives you more control over how the content will be analyzed by these
programs. All of these entries are optional. Metadata is shown inside HTML meta elements. The
entry screen is shown below:
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 29 of 158
Meta Description. An optional paragraph to be used as the description of the page in the
HTML output. This will generally display in the results of search engines.
Meta Keywords. Optional entry for keywords. Must be entered separated by commas and may
be entered in upper or lower case.
Key Reference. Optional text key that an Article may be referenced by (for example, a help
reference). A normal Joomla! link to an Article is in the form "<home
URL>/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=22&Itemid=34". In this example, Joomla!
is using the "com_content" component, using an "article" layout, showing the Article whose ID is
"22", and using the Menu Item whose ItemID is "34". The Key Reference of an Article can be
used in a URL instead of the Article's ID. For example, if an Article's Key Reference is
"whats.new", then the URL "<home
URL>/index.php/?option=com_content&view=article&Itemid=34&task=findkey&keyref=whats.ne
w" could also be used to display the page. The "task=findkey" tells Joomla! to search by Key
Reference, and the "keyref=whats.new" provides the Key Reference to search for. Using the Key
Reference to link to Articles is more flexible than using Article ID, since you can edit the Key
Reference field of existing Articles. Note that, if more than one Article has the same Key
Reference, this URL will only find the first Article with this Key Reference.

Robots. The instructions for search robots that browse to this page.

Use Global: Use the value set in the Component→Options for this component.

Index, Follow: Index this page and follow the links on this page. THIS IS DEFAULT.

No index, Follow: Do not index this page, but still follow the links on the page. For
example, you might do this for a site map page where you want the links to be indexed
but you don't want this page to show in search engines.

Index, No follow: Index this page, but do not follow any links on the page. For example,
you might want to do this for an events calendar, where you want the page to show in
search engines but you do not want to index each event.

No index, no follow: Do not index this page or follow any links on the page.
Author. Optional entry for an Author name within the metadata. If entered, this creates an
HTML meta element with the name attribute of "author" and the content attribute as entered
here.
Content Rights. Optional entry that shows what rights others have to use the content in the
article. If entered, this creates an HTML meta element with the name attribute of "rights" and the
content attribute as entered here.
External Reference. An optional reference used to link to external data sources. If entered,
this creates an HTML meta element with a name attribute of "xreference" and a content attribute
equal to the entered text.
5.1.4 Anchor Links
Insert/Edit Anchor. An anchor is a marker inside an article that lets you link directly to a
sentence in the article. To insert an anchor, move the cursor to the desired location within the
article and click this button. A window will display. Enter the name of the Anchor and press
Insert.
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 31 of 158
A small anchor icon will then show at the location of the anchor. You can edit the name of the
anchor by clicking on it and pressing this button. You can delete the anchor just by selecting it
and pressing the delete key.
Insert/Edit Link. To insert or edit a link, select the linked text and press this button. A popup
dialog displays that lets you enter details about the link.
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 32 of 158
Anchors added earlier to an article are displayed in the Article Anchors section.
For example, in the image below, the anchors #standingwave, #vswr, #other, and #mismatch
are displayed below the "Voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR)" article they are contained in.
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 33 of 158
Anchors from other articles are displaying at the Browse-> Content section in pop-window.
You can navigate directly to the content item and the anchor will be listed below the item. All you
need to do is select it and update the link.
Clicking on the anchor item will insert the article link with the anchor appended into the URL
field, for example: /encyclopedias/452-vswr#standingwave.

Page 38 of 158
page break to occur. Click on Page Break button below article.
A small dialogue box appears above the editor. The Page Title is likely to be the name of the
heading or main content of the next part of the article. If you do not enter anything, this becomes
the page number by default.

Enter the name of the page

Click Insert
When the article is saved there will be an index and also navigation at the bottom of each page.
5.1.9 Add “Read more” link
“Read more” enables the article to be read in full following a few 'teaser' lines. There are some
pages where a short teaser extract gives enough information for readers to grasp the content of
the article. This is often used for news or blogs where there is limited room on the main page,
and readers are not interested in all content. A good solution is to use the “Read More” format.

Open the article for editing

Make sure that the first few lines (which are going to be the 'teaser' text) give a good
idea of the content of the rest of the article

Place the cursor at the end of the teaser text

5.4 Lock/Check-in
Sometimes you may see a padlock next to a specific item. These padlocks may be displayed
next to Content Items, Menu Items, Modules, etc.
The Joomla! system places these padlocks next to an item to indicate that a user is currently
editing the item (i.e. the item is "checked out"). The lock is removed when the user clicks on the
"Save&Close" or "Close" button for that item. If the user never clicks "Save&Close" or "Close"
and instead clicks on the “Save” button, or simply navigates to another page, then the item
remains locked. If a different user needs to work with an item that is in the "checked out" state he
or she must first ask a manager or administrator to check the item back in (release the item)
before any new changes can be made.
5.4.1 Checking Items In
There are three ways of checking items back in. One way is to contact the person that has the
item checked out to see if they are finished. You can hover the cursor above the lock and the
tooltip popup will display the name of the user who checked out the article.
If you have top-level admininstrator rights, and can click on the padlock to check only this item
back in, or click on Site->Maintenance->Global Check-in to check all items in.
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 50 of 158
The latter option should be used very carefully, especially in multi-user environments. This single
action checks in all previously checked out items, whether they were checked out by you or not.
Possible undesirable side effects may be that multiple editors end up working on the same
document. In this case whoever clicks the save button last has their version saved as the final
copy.
5.4.2 Automatic Check-in (without saving)
Automatic check-in happens after 1 hour of no action on a page. In such case, changes are not
saved on the page.
Also, automatic check-in (without saving your changes) happens if you click on the Close button,
or close your browser tab and click on “Leave Page” button.
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 51 of 158
5.5 Deleting an Article
Go to Content > Article Manger on the toolbar menu.
Check the box next to the article(s) that you want to delete. Then click Trash button.
If you want to make sure that the Article is completely gone from the system (so no further roll
back is available), go to Content > Article Manager and select “Trashed” in Search Tools.
Select the article which you want to delete (this action is not available to administrators with only
Manager's privileges), click on Empty Trash button, and Delete button in pop-up window.
NOTE: This action cannot be undone.

Interactive to add this new author as a filter.
5.8 Article Teaser
To manage “Article Teaser” module go to Extensions -> Module Manager -> Articles Related Articles.
NOTE: The module Related Article is currently turned off until the volunteer group
adjusts all articles (as per stated requirements - each article needs to have an intro
image loaded inside Joomla admin).
Article Teaser – is a short description of Article A, which is displayed on Article B, which is
related to Article A by Meta Keywords.
For example we have 2 articles related by keywords. Articles "Group Delay in Filters" and
"Filters" have the same keyword "filters".
1. Group Delay in Filters -> <meta name="keywords" content="filters, delay, group" />
http://www.microwaves101.com/encyclopedias/group-delay-in-filters
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 61 of 158
2. Filters -> <meta name="keywords" content="filters" />
http://www.microwaves101.com/encyclopedias/filters
Since the articles are related, on top of Filters page we can see the Article Teaser of the "Group
Delay in Filters" page:
Article Teaser shows these parameters for an article:
1. Title of article (page). For example: "Group Delay in Filters"
2. Intro image – can be uploaded in admin panel, at “Images and links” tab of an article:

6.6 Manage DFP banners
DFP banners consists of 2 types of codes:
1. Code 1 – should be placed in Header;
2. Code 2 – should be placed in Body.
In example below code 1 is displayed in blue, code 2 in green.
Note: Code 1 always consists of 2 parts as is shown below. Part #1 in code 1 is the same for all
banners. Since part #1 of “code 1” is already added to template, you can add only part #2 of
“code 1” to plugin “HeadTag” as is written below.
-----------------------------------------------------CODE 1: Filter Lower Skyscraper
Place this code into the HEAD element of the web page
-----------------------------------------------------<script type='text/javascript'>
var googletag = googletag || {};
googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || [];
(function() {
var gads = document.createElement('script');
gads.async = true;
gads.type = 'text/javascript';
var useSSL = 'https:' == document.location.protocol;
gads.src = (useSSL ? 'https:' : 'http:') +
'//www.googletagservices.com/tag/js/gpt.js';
var node = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
node.parentNode.insertBefore(gads, node);
})();
</script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
googletag.cmd.push(function() {
googletag.defineSlot('/4906012/Filters_LowerSkyscraper', [160, 600], 'div-gpt-ad-14034394079670').addService(googletag.pubads());
googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest();
googletag.enableServices();
});
</script>
---------------------------------------------------------------CODE 2: Place this code where this unit should show in the page body
---------------------------------------------------------------
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 87 of 158
<div id='div-gpt-ad-1403439407967-0' style='width:160px; height:600px;'>
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1403439407967-0'); });
</script>
</div>
6.6.1 Manage Code 1 for DFP banners
Code 1 should be placed to the <head></head> tag in the template.
To manage code 1 for DFP banners, go to Extensions -> Plugin Manager -> HeadTag
Open “Menu Item Rules” tab to assign specific code for specific pages. Menu items for Main
web-site are displayed in section “main-global” as is shown below:
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 88 of 158
Select Tag Type “Custom Tag” and insert part #2 of code 1 to “Custom Tag” field.
For example code below (from the sample in section “6.6 Manage DFP banners”):
googletag.cmd.push(function() {
googletag.defineSlot('/4906012/Filters_LowerSkyscraper', [160, 600], 'div-gpt-ad-14034394079670').addService(googletag.pubads());
googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest();
googletag.enableServices();
});
</script>
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 89 of 158
If you want to add several codes #1 to HEAD section – select another menu items as was
described above.
Each menu item can have 1 – 4 Custom Tags.
For example: page “Connector Color Code” has 3 specific banners:
Skyscrapers(right-side), Baseboard(bottom), Leaderboard(top):
http://www.microwaves101.com/encyclopedias/connector-color-code
That’s why page “Connector Color Code” has 3 Custom Tags. Samples of Custom Tags for
each menu item are shown on image below:
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 90 of 158
6.6.2. Manage Code 2 for DFP banners
To manage Code #2 for banners, go to Extensions -> Module Manager -> Search by
“banner”.
There are 4 types of banners on Main and Mobile sites:
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 91 of 158
- right-side banners on inside pages on main site (position: aside-right);
- bottom banners on inside pages on main site (position: bottom-inside);
- banners on mobile site (position: ims-mobile-content-footer);
- top banners on inside pages on main site (position: top-inside);
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 92 of 158
To manage a banner, click on it first. For example, click on module “Banner Right (KR
Electronics)”. This banner is displayed on the right side of specific inside pages of main site.
Click on Module tab and click on “Toggle Editor” to switch OFF HTML editor and insert banner
code #2. For example:

<div id='div-gpt-ad-1403439407967-0' style='width:160px; height:600px;'>
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1403439407967-0'); });
</script>
</div>
6.6.3. How to add banner to specific page
The Joomla CMS only allows banners to be assigned to specific menu items (not specific
pages). We have already created all menu items for all existing pages in Encyclopedia and
Acronyms sections.
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 93 of 158
To place a banner on a specific page, which is created after 10/24/14, an administrator must
create a separate menu item for that page.
These menu items are sub-items of the Encyclopedia or Acronyms menu item in Menus ->
Main Global section in admin panel:
See section 7.1 in the user guide for an explanation of how to create a new menu item. You
should select “Encyclopedia” as the Parent menu item for new sub-items.
After you have created a menu sub-item for a specific page, go to the banner module
(Extensions -> Module Manager) and click on Menu Assignment tab to select the specific
pages on which this banner should be displayed.
Please notice: Currently “Run of the site banners” (Skyscraper, Baseboard, Leaderboard) are
displaying on all inside pages of Encyclopedia section, except for pages listed in section “6.6.5.
Types of banners currently added in admin panel” in this guide.
If you create new specific banner and want to assign it to specific page, which already has “Run
of the site banners” –> open “Run of the site banners” (3 separate modules) and take them OFF
from specific page. Then assign new module with specific banner to specific page (as is written
above).
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 94 of 158
“Banner Right (KR Electronics)” is displayed on right-side of 6 pages, including Microwave
filters page:
Please notice, since user created new menu item for "Filters" page, this menu item has new URL
now.
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 95 of 158
URLs of new menu items are creating by such logic: [domain name] + [main menu item] +
[menu sub-item alias]
[menu sub-item alias] can be copied from Menus section in admin panel:
In our case it is: [http://www.microwaves101.com/] + [encyclopedias] + [filters]
So, page with new banners has new URL now:
Old URL of page (without menu item):
http://www.microwaves101.com/encyclopedias/368-filters
If URL of page was changed we should do one more step - to change URL of Article in
Encyclopedia Alphabetical filter:http://www.microwaves101.com/encyclopedias
In this sample, we should change link of "Filters" article in Encyclopedia Alphabetical filter.
Explanation about editing links in Encyclopedia Alphabetical filter is written in section "5.3
Add/Remove Article to/from Alphabetical Filter (Encyclopedia)" in this User Guide.
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 96 of 158
6.6.4. Redirecting the old page to the new page with Ads
We added feature of automatic redirecting the old page to the new page with Ads.
It works if alias of menu item is the same as alias of page.
For example:
Old page has alias "connector-color-code" and id "778":
http://www.microwaves101.com/encyclopedias/778-connector-color-code
Menu item for new page has alias "connector-color-code":
In such case old page is automatically redirecting to the new page:
http://www.microwaves101.com/encyclopedias/778-connector-color-code ->
6.6.5. Types of banners currently added in admin panel
1. Banner on inside Mobile pages.
2. Run of site banners:
Skyscraper(right-side), Baseboard(bottom), Leaderboard(top) on all inside pages, except for
those listed below:

8 Revisions
8.1 Content Revisions/Versions
The Versions module is a security feature for your content. Versions allow you to keep copies of
previous versions of articles every time you save a change.
The Versions button appears in the toolbar at the top of the articles screen:
Every time you save an article, the new version will be accessible via this pop-up window.
The current version of the article is marked by a gold star.
To compare the current version with a previous version, check the boxes next to the versions
and click Compare.
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 108 of 158
Text that has been removed is marked in red and text that has been added is marked in green.
Joomla stores all content and the settings for this content.
In this example, you can see that the version on the right has been changed so that Featured is
set to Yes.
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 109 of 158
To roll back to a previous version, check the box next to the version and click Restore:
Options to see changes more easily:
Because all of the options for the article are saved, it can be easier to see only what has
changed.
Click Changed Values in the top-right corner.
You'll now see only the article options that were changed.
By default, versions will show only the article text. Note there is a Show HTML Code button:
Copyright 2014 IEEE
Page 110 of 158
This will show you the underlying HTML code in the article:
This HTML feature will be useful because currently the versions don't display images. Even if
they did, there wouldn't be room inside the pop-up to cleanly display large images.
Versions limit.
The number of versions that are stored is limited to 20.
The function “Keep forever” prevents selected versions from being deleted automatically.
NOTE: "Keep forever" function is not supported by the current version of
Joomla, however a Joomla update is scheduled for late 2014. This will activate
the function.

9 Content Editor (JCE) and File Manager
9.1 Content Editor - Toolbar
The JCE (common industry abbreviation for “Joomla Content Editor”) in Joomla is enabled for all
HTML-rich content fields.
For Microwaves101 it is configured to have a set of common editing functions, as shown in the
screenshot below:
Useful hot keys combination to speed up your work using JCE:
-
Press the ENTER key to make a new paragraph;
Press the SHIFT+ENTER keys simultaneously to make a line break within the
same paragraph.
The Toolbar is the area where you can activate most of the editing features. A number of them
replicate content editing features from MS Word editing software (Bold, Editing, Justification,
Lists, Bullet Points). These most commonly-used features are not part of this document
overview, since we assume all Microwaves101 content editors are skilled in basic document
editing.
The features specific to web document processing are:
Copyright 2014 IEEE
