Joomla Agency Category Notes Plugin

Imagine you run a website with many authors publishing articles in different categories. To ensure content quality and consistency, you'll want to display specific instructions for each category directly in the article editing area. This is where the “JoomlaAgency_CategoryNote” plugin comes into play, which offers exactly this function. It displays a custom note based on the article's category in the Joomla backend to guide authors while creating content.

Core function(s):

  • Notes in posts, depending on the category selected

To use the JoomlaAgency_CategoryNote plugin effectively, follow these step-by-step instructions:

  1. Install the plugin and activate it in the plugin manager.
  2. Create a custom field of type Editor or Textarea for categories.
  3. Go to the plugin settings and select the new created field in the options.
  4. Now go to your category and leave a note in this field in the category settings.
  5. When you create a new post, you select a category. The stored note is then displayed in the editing area.
