Summary

 

Introduction & Purpose

The video demonstrates how to display different intro texts in Joomla’s category view.

It is presented by Tim Davis on Maintenance Monday #314.

Article Setup

A sample Joomla article is created with an audio file, a short intro sentence, and a read-more line.

Current Category View Behavior

The category blog view shows the media player and intro text.

Clicking "Read More" opens the full article with all content.

Objective

The goal is to prevent the media player from appearing in the category view while keeping it in the full article view.

Copying the Intro Text

The intro text (with the media file) is copied for later use.

Pasting Below the Read More Line

The copied text is pasted below the read-more line in the article body.

Modifying the Intro Section

The media player is removed from the intro section, leaving only the text.

Adjusting Article Settings

In the article’s Options, the Intro Text setting is changed to “Hide.”

Results

In the full article view, the media player and intro text appear as intended.

In the category view, only the intro text is shown (without the media player).

Conclusion & Call to Action

The video ends with an invitation to subscribe for more Joomla tips.
