Joomla.3.x_How_to_manage_progress_bars_1

Progress bars in Joomla templates are created using the Articles Newsflash (Advanced) module.

  1. In order to check what category the module pulls articles from, navigate to the Extensions -> Modules tab. Use search by keywords or by type (Articles Newsflash) to find the needed module:

    Joomla.3.x_How_to_manage_progress_bars_2
  2. Check the category in a Module tab:

    Joomla.3.x_How_to_manage_progress_bars_3
  3. In the Content -> Articles tab filter content by categories to find all the articles assigned to the category used by the module:

    Joomla.3.x_How_to_manage_progress_bars_4
  4. Open the needed article and navigate to the Images and Links tab. Bar value can be edited in a Caption field:

Now let us create a new progress bar.

  1. First create a new article and assign it to the required category (the one used by the module):

    Joomla.3.x_How_to_manage_progress_bars_6
  2. Set the needed value in the Images and Links tab and save the changes:

    Joomla.3.x_How_to_manage_progress_bars_7
  3. Navigate to the Extensions -> Modules menu, change the number of articles pulled by the module and set the needed number of columns:

    Joomla.3.x_How_to_manage_progress_bars_8
  4. Save the changes and refresh your page to see a new bar added.
