Creating categories of digital projects, working with them, multilanguage site

The category structure should reflect the logical structure of the catalog. You can create any number of categories with any level of nesting.

Creating a category

Let's go to Components - SW JProjects - Categories. Click the Create button. image

A page opens for creating a category. You will see a typical Joomla set of fields for creating a category, of which you should pay attention to the following parameters:

Title - Category name Alias - Alias, from which, among other things, the SEF (search engine friendly) URL of the category page is formed Description of the category - A short text description of the category. Parent category - The category within which the newly created one will be located. image

Metadata for SEO

Multilingual website (website in several languages)

If you are describing your digital products in several languages and have configured Joomla to be multilingual, then the language switches will be located in the upper panel of the window. image

Filling in information for different languages takes place in one window, unlike the traditional Joomla approach, when separate categories, materials, etc. are created for different languages.
