Sorry if I am just being REALLY stoopid, but I have read through most of “Building Websites with Joomla! 1.5” (not a good book imho) and checked these forums and cannot figure this out…
I have installed the JA Pyrite template, put my logo in, and now I have stripped out all the stuff I didn’t want and created menu links for the stuff I do want.
Seems to have gone pretty well so far, apart from the following problems:
1. On the “NEWS” page, I cannot get rid of the Main Menu box on the left. It does not appear on any other pages (except the homepage) and I have spent quite a while trying to figure out how to get rid of it.
2. On the homepage, I have a “LATEST NEWS” module in the right column. I know there are no news articles yet, that’s why none are showing, what I need to know is how do I make this module ONLY display news articles? It looks as though it will just display the four latest articles of any type. I cannot find where you define the article type.
I am sort of enjoying working with Joomla to build this site – it looks very powerful and the JA templates look amazing. Problem is that Joomla seems pretty unintuitive at times.
Any help with these issues will be gratefully received. Thanks for reading.

Extensions => Module Manager => Main Menu
Under Menu Assignment Check None
This should remove it from the left side block but keep your top navigation bar in tact.
As for the “latest news” I’m not sure what module that is but normally if you check the parameters of the module look for a “category” section. Here you can put in the category ID # of which categories you would like it to pull latest news from.
