Creating Categories
- In Joomla administration area click on Content -> Category Manager menu.
- Click New in the toolbar:
- Enter the Title of the Category, other fields are not required. If you are creating a subcategory, then select a parent category:
- If you write something into the Description text area, it will be displayed on JReviews Category pages.
- Click Save & New and repeat the process until you create all categories that you want. Click Save & Close after you create the last category.
Those Joomla categories that you created will be later included into JReviews and they will be assigned a directory and a listing type.
Next step is to go to JReviews administration and create Custom Field Groups in Field Groups Manager.
