Field Images

When you create fields, you can choose "Checkbox (Multiple Images)"or "Radio Button (Image)" in the "Type" dropdown.

Once you've uploaded your images, you can find them here (if you selected one of the types mentioned above)

Write an ad

In front-end

 

You still can see the link to the menu on the right. To write an ad just click the link "Write an ad" which is surrounded by red color whatever your language is. Other links on this page and descriptions are explained in the Beginners Guide.

Depending on your configuration you can see two different things. If you selected the option that states an ad can only be classed in only one category, then you'll have this view.

You can choose the way the categories will be displayed, check the "Categories" tab in Configuration.
Choose a category or a subcategory and then you'll acces the form to create an ad.
If you are in multicategories, you'll see this :

Check Configuration if you dont know how to do it.

The number or categories you can choose is limited in the configuration, be sure you wrote the correct number, it's written just below the textareas.

To select a category, just click on it in the left area and then click on "Add" button. Do the same thing but click on "Delete" button to unselect it.

The form is pretty simple, it contains required and not required fields signaled by a blue background-color for the required ones. You can decide which field is required or not in the Fields view (check on the Create fields ). The form contains all fields (default and the fields you created) published. Conditional fields work here too, read Create fields too.

 

Here you can see the required fields cause they have blue background color.

 

Here you can choose pictures to associate with the ad. The number of pictures allowed is into the Configuration. Then click "Add files", wait until it's ready.

Congratulations, you just created your first ad with AdsManager !

 

In the back-end

 

The form is the same as the one in the front-end above. In addition you can sort your ads on the view list by filters.

There are three filters and option for pagination in top of this page.

01Categories filter

You can select only ads belong to certain category or subcategory or all ads from all categories.

02Published filter

 
You can select whether you want to display published or unpublished ads.

 

03User filter, ID filter and Pagination

 

Here we can see three different filters. First the user filter, you can type name of an user here and it will filter showing you only ads from this user. You're not forced to type the entire name, here, typing "Are" will still get you the result. You can type part of name til it's entirely contained in the effective name.If you know the ID of the ad you're looking for, you can type it here and leave others filters empty. Typing '0' will show all ads.

You can choose how many ads you want to display here by selecting a pagination.

 

Based on Configuration settings you will be asked to create an account/log in or not.

 

The filters are cumulative. The ads displayed will satisfy every filter modified. Eg. here, you can see there's an ad with id 3, if I type "3" in the ID filter but "Nobody" in the user filter, no ad will be displayed, just erase what you just type in user filter to see the ad with id 3.

Just fill all the fields you need, use Create fields, save.

 

Congratulations, you just created your first ad with AdsManager !

Creating categories

The view list

Several categories and subcategories are defined by default in AdsManager

You can see all default categories and sub-categories.
The black exclamation mark only appears if you are in Joomla! 3.x it allows you to rearrange the subcategories within their parent category. You cannot put "SubCat1" in "Category 2" but you can order "SubCat3" before "SubCat1" by dragging the black exclamation mark up or down.

You can see pictures assigned to each category and a button ads. 

Clicking on the button ads in the first row redirects to the page list of ads in administration filtered to display the chosen category.

 Creating a new category

This view is pretty simple to understand and very similar to create a category in Joomla!

Give the category a title, location, picture (check out limitations here) and a description.

You can assign keywords here whether they are published.

Set a limit number of ads per user

You can set a limit of ads per user for your category, you just have to fill the field with the limited number that you want.

The -1 value is a unlimited number of ads.

Set an access right

You can also limit the access of your categories to a chosen user groups.

Two options are available, 'Read' will limit the read access of the category to the users in the authorized groups, 'Write' will limit the write access of the category to the users in the authorized groups.

Congratulations, you have just created a new category!
