The article text content does not appear for the majority of articles when they are accessed through their menu or the main menu. But, the text is visible when I start in a different menu and access the original category via the Category module.
## Note. I built my site following the instructions for manual configuration of a fixel template. In the backend, the Main Menu in mainnav, Topics (a category module) in sidebar2
# example 1, no content text appears from access through the walk menu , just the title
http://www.trainwalkplay.com/index.php/walk/13-topics/walk/5-walking-your-dog
# But the text is visible when i start in training menu, click on walk topic (a category module), then choose the walk article
http://www.trainwalkplay.com/index.php/training/13-topics/walk/5-walking-your-dog
# example 2, If I follow the article link from the home or menu popups, it will only show the title
http://www.trainwalkplay.com/index.php/10-topics/train/3-you-need-to-train
# if i start in menu Walk, then choose topic Train, I am able to see the text of this article
http://www.trainwalkplay.com/index.php/walk/10-topics/train/3-you-need-to-train

What do I need to change? More importantly, what did I need to know to avoid the issue in the first place? For instance, is this an article managing problem or a module problem? I would like to link straight to the article, but I want to resolve this before making further changes.

Thanks in advance

I have checked 3 links you mentioned, however I could not detect the problem. Did you sort it out? If the issue remains, please send me the screenshot with explanation, I will help you out.

Hi Ninja Lead,
If you just copy and paste the URL I provided, the articles appear with text content.
BUT, if you access through the menus, HOME, TRAIN, WALK, etc .. you will not see the text for most articles
I have made a mistake on describing my directions for the first example
# example 1, no content text appears from access through the HOME menu
## walking-your-dog is the article to choose from HOME menu
## today it is working when I access through the WALK menu
The attached snapshot is what you see when trying to open “walking your dog” article from the home menu.

# example 2, If I follow the article link from the home or menu popups, it will only show the title
## try to access “the value of training” / you-need-to-train from HOME or TRAIN menus. Neither will give the text.
Here is what you see when accessing from TRAIN menu:

You can recreate the issue with other menu accesses, but the behavior is not 100% absolute. This is what frustrates my troubleshooting. For instance, I see today that if you start from the WALK menu and access the article “walking your dog”, the text appears!

thanks,
Ben

Thank you, Ninja Lead!
I am not yet familiar with php.
Can you explain what the problem was and how you fixed it? Are there backups of the faulty file versions in their directories? I have not checked.
Thanks again!!

We have been customize the detail gallery and images in content type of article to show without content in accordance with the JA Fixel concept.

I only changed to show all the details in the articles. You can compare my fixes with original files to see my workaround.

Can you post the code up please? I’d like the article to open with complete text too.

thanks

Just download the quickstart and the codes are not fixed. Done it manually.
