I am triying to activate the “content” module that is shows on the demo template so I can use it to display articles of my “News & Events” category. I am not using k2 component and I have just created a category called “News & Event”, where I have alredy published 3 articles.
I want to display the 3 articles that I have published on this category, but I don´t really know how to handle this. I have tried but I cannot find the module position called “content”… :((
If you wanna open a page that displays this category’s articles, you can create a new menu item with type of ‘category’ and assign category “News & Events” to this menu item.
If you wanna display in a specific module position, you need to create a new module with type of articles/ categories > select category you want to display then assign this module to that position.
I have followed your instructions. The menu item “News & Event” that conect to the “News & Events” category its been created. But when I try to create a new module to display the articles of the category mentioned, I cant see the “content” position, it is not there.
On the other hand, on the Ja Mendozite demo, the news that displays on front page are paragrhaps that contains onlye 3 lines of text and the next line the “read more buttom”.
I have spent 2 days trying to make news appear at the front page (as it shows on demo), but cannot make it. I really need to know in wich module position should I put the news published in “News and Events” category. I would like this articles to appear same as in the demo.
I have installed the Ja Side News, but even that I dont know wich module position to asign.
¿Is there anybody that can help me to archive this please?
Thank you very much for your answer and help. I have tried to put the Ja Side News module at position you said (mega), but it doesnt work at all. I may have done something wrong in my site, but its imposible for me to set up this module properly.
I have checked the position layout and aparently the position I suposse to set up the Ja Side News is the “content” position. But, in the module setup section, this position doenst exists at all, I mean, the “content” position doesnt exist in my site.
This is really confising for me; in the past I used the Ja Teline in other sites and it was so easy to set up this module, but now I cannot make it.
I really need some help, and honestly, I cannot find a solution to archive this.
I forget to say that I am using Joomla 2.5 version from Joomlaspanish.
I would suggest that you could activate the content-mass-top position and assign this Ja Side News module to this content-mass-top position. You can follow these steps:
– Open file: templatesja_mendoziteetclayoutsdefault.xml
Replace:
<positions>
<position>hornav</position>
<position>breadcrumbs</position>
<position>search</position>
<position>banner</position>
<position>content-mass-top</position> Add this line
<position>left</position>
– Go to Ja Side News module and assign to content-mass-top position
