Esposende Ambiente - Joomla Articles

In Joomla!, a Menu is a set of menu items used for website navigation. Each menu item defines an URL to a page on your site, and settings that control the contents(articles, category(ies) lists, taggged items, etc.) and style(module(s), layout) of that page. Additionally, each menu has a Menu Type, these are shown in the menu manager, see Adding a new menu. The menu type will actually be the Unique Name or alias that will be used to create human-readable URLs if Search Engine Friendly URLs are turned on. Menu items can have any number of subitems.

A Menu isn't automatically shown on any page. You need to create a menu module to show the menu on all or some pages. Each menu can be shown by one or more modules (making it possible to show the same menu in different positions). It is also possible to create Split menus.

A Menu that isn't shown by any module is usually called a hidden menu. Hidden menus can be used to create URLs that are not visible on any page.

Cache

The mechanism that offers users a stored view of (part of) a web page so that does not have to be pulled from the database. Joomla core offers three levels of caching:

Page caching
View caching
Module caching.

By default, Joomla does not cache any content. When caching is switched on, the stored views for this are stored in the filesystem for Joomla ../cache/page/ folder.

Manager

A user level on a Joomla site with access permissions to the back-end (via a separate log in) and some front-end privileges. Think of Manager users as Publishers, with Back-end access.

Breadcrumbs

A module that helps to display the location of each page as you browse through all the pages on the site. Speaking of navigation, links like Home >> Dream >> Corners are called breadcrumbs. Breadcrumbs appear by default; you can turn them off in Module Manager.

Blog

The default Joomla! layouts for menu items which use the Category Blog Layout. Blog format presents some or all of the articles in a particular category or sub-category. The standard presentation usually includes an article’s title as a link, followed by some introductory text and a Read More link.
