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).
