Menu Item Type Articles- Special Page has disappeared

bowlschat

The List of Articles Menu Item Types has a number of choices missing including 'Articles - Special Page Blank Content' (see images with current list on Alumni and the longer normal list on another website that i use with Joomlart PlaySchol template, although Uber is also available).

The Articles - Special Page Blank Content Menu Type description in menu items created before the issue has changed to Articles - Featured (see third image and 'Tables Menu' menu type description).

I am using Articles - Featured Articles to get around the issue as i do not have any featured articles on the site, but if you could help fix the issue please.

Note: I did have the Uber Template in the installation as i used it at the start before switching to Alumni and removed the Uber template very recently, would that have caused the problem? Are all the article options not available in Alumni?

Hi bowlschat

As you can see HERE Ja Alumni template doesn't have this type of menu item , it is specific of Uber template, so when you uninstalled the uber template from your backend also this feature disappeared.

If you need such menu item type then install again the uber template.

Best regards

Thank you Pavit, i can do that but as these are Menu Items with nothing on the page except modules, is there a menu type in Alumni that i can use without installing uber again?
If not i will add the uber template.

You can also use the alumni template default layout and then skip the menu item where you don't want to show the component block and show only modules.

Thank you, i can do that, but what menu item type do i use for the menu?

bowlschat but what menu item type do i use for the menu?

It is not important since you need only block modules positions available, you can choose also single article but it will be not displayed in the menu item where you choosed to hide content block, but layout will show all other positions available where you will publish your modules.

Just give it a try and you will see

Hope it helps
