Basic Content Manipulation

Abstract

Now that you have made it through the arduous process of setting up Textpattern (TXP), and have fully tweaked and customized the Admin preferences, it is high time to introduce you to the section in which you will find yourself spending the bulk of your time. This is, of course, the Content area. This chapter covers the basics: creating article categories, making subcategories, and learning the fundamentals of writing in Textile. This chapter also introduces aspects of the authoring interface: form override, custom fields, keywords, article image, and URL title customization. (Form override and custom fields will be covered in depth later in Chapter 13 because these two topics open up further doors to extended functionality.)
