Hi,

I would like to choose only the articles assigned as “frontpage” from all the categories to be displayed in Ja SlideShow 2. How is this possible?

Thanks

Hi grkats,

By default the Ja slideshow2 module did not have this feature, you can try following steps to get it
1) Open the file of modulesmod_jaslideshow2mod_jaslideshow2.xml, Look for this

<option value=”modarts”>WITH FEATURED KEYWORD</option>
<option value=”modcats”>FROM CATEGORIES</option>

change to

<option value=”modarts”>WITH FEATURED KEYWORD</option>
<option value=”modcats”>FROM CATEGORIES</option>
<option value=”modfront”>Frontpage articles</option>

this would help to add an option to select showing the frontpage articles in the module setting.

2) Open the file of modulesmod_jaslideshow2helper.php, Look for this function
[php]
function getCondition( $params ){

$condition = ”;
$keyworkd = $params->get( ‘source-articles-display_model-modarts-with_keyword’, ” );
if( $params->get(“source-articles-display_model”, “modcats”) == ‘modcats’ ) {
$categories = $params->get( ‘source-articles-display_model-modcats-category’ , ” );

if( $categories != ” ) {
$ids = $this->getIds( $categories );
$condition = ” AND cc.id IN($ids)”;
}
} else {
$keyword = addslashes( $params->get( ‘source-articles-display_model-modarts-with_keyword’,
‘Featured’ ) );
$condition = ” AND a.metakey LIKE ‘%”.$keyword.”%’ “;
}

return $condition;
}
[/php]

change it to

[php]
function getCondition( $params ){

$condition = ”;
$keyworkd = $params->get( ‘source-articles-display_model-modarts-with_keyword’, ” );
if( $params->get(“source-articles-display_model”, “modcats”) == ‘modcats’ ) {
$categories = $params->get( ‘source-articles-display_model-modcats-category’ , ” );

if( $categories != ” ) {
$ids = $this->getIds( $categories );
$condition = ” AND cc.id IN($ids)”;
}
} else if($params->get(“source-articles-display_model”, “modcats”) == ‘modarts’ ) {
$keyword = addslashes( $params->get( ‘source-articles-display_model-modarts-with_keyword’,
‘Featured’ ) );
$condition = ” AND a.metakey LIKE ‘%”.$keyword.”%’ “;
} else {
$condition = ” And a.id = (select content_id from #__content_frontpage where content_id=a.id) ” ;
}

return $condition;
}
[/php]
