Hello!

First of all, thank you for a great theme and framework.

Can I get the “News & Updates”-feed from Magazine-layout to be shown in Masthead in Featured Intro 1/2?
(As standard this is Featured Articles showing up).

Or in any other way get nice News Ticker/Latest News (fetched from Blog posts) slide in a Featured Intro-layout?
That automatically fetches latest blog posts and is not a pre-written featured article.

See picture, I’m trying to illustrate to show you what I want to achieve. 🙂

Cheers,

---

Hi ulflun,

I’m sorry if this post is late but hope it helps you.

Thought that you could customize the magazine layout rather than custom the Featured-Intro 2 layout (the homepage in demo site). Please try with my following workaround:

– As our demo site, we use ‘sidebar-2’ in magazine layout so you open file: templatespurity_iiitplsblocksmainbodyone-sidebar-right.php and add features-intro-2 module position into this layout: http://prntscr.com/3q5rpc


<?php if ($this->countModules('features-intro-2')) : ?>
<!-- SLIDESHOW -->
<div class="features-intro <?php $this->_c('features-intro-2') ?>">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="<?php $this->_p('features-intro-2') ?>" style="FeatureRow" />
</div>
<!-- //SLIDESHOW -->
<?php endif ?>

It will look like this: http://prntscr.com/3q5rj6

– With the first module, you just need go to module manager and assign masshead module: http://prntscr.com/3q5ru1 to the menu item of page with magazine layout.

– Next, you will need the featured article section in the magazine layout by opening file: templatespurity_iiihtmlcom_contentcategorymagazine.php and remove this snippet of code:
[PHP]
<?php
$this->items = $featured_items;
echo $this->loadTemplate(‘featured’); ?>
[/PHP]

Hope this helps.
