saguaros I think I figured out what the issue was. The homepage for the demo is actually using a combination of modules for the top section, one of them being a slideshow from the acm module. Is this correct? That is fine, I went ahead and just added all pages to the masthead for now until I figure out how to handle it. I could always just use another module if I find it a hassle or use your trick you mentioned above.
There are 2 other things that are troubling me at this time as I cannot see how to edit them with this template.
If you go to chicagoeventg.com you will see that I tried to replicate 2 modules from the demo. The documentation said to put them in the module position "section" which I did, but they do not span the page side to side like in the demo, they are shrunken in a bit. I remember changing these settings on the JA FindUs template in the layout settings
I can't figure out how to do this with the JA Events2 settings. I tried looking and cannot find a way to edit.
The next issue I can't figure out is how to adjust the mega menu settings. On the JA FindUs template I would go to Navigation, select the main menu item I want to adjust, and I can put in the width of the submenu, and easily add columns, section titles, etc. I have been unable to figure out how to adjust these settings for the JA Events2 template.
