In the hierarchy of content, Sections are first and they contain categories. Categories contain articles. In this recipe, we will follow up on sections and learn how to set up a category.
We can really get granular in terms of content management with categories. What you will need is one or more categories that you will file your articles in. You'll need to have the section that this category belongs in already created.
We will be adding categories to our Section Product News-Widget World.
If you are not the Joomla! Administrator, go ahead, log in, and let's get started.
Choose Content | Category Manager.
The following screenshot shows the full screen of Category Manager. Let's look at each section in detail.
The left-most part of the screen, labeled as Title, is the categories we have set up. These, by the way, are installed by Joomla! when you install your sample data. Once you create one you'll see it in your version of this screen.
