Does anybody know how to set up Blog on the first page (page 6) like in Cloris Demo for Joomla! 1.5?

I know that there isn’t K2 ready yet.

Thanks.

Hey,

I started a thread with this topic in mind.

http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/differences-in-templates/

basically joomla 1.6 has a default module that acts much the same as that K2 module used in the 1.5 template, but you will need to create all the styles for it.

I started it and has it almost complete (just matching the styles to the JA styles in the blog)

So it’s more than possible at present, I’ve attached where I got to, unzip it and put it into the ja_cloris/html folder and select it as a template from the module “articles in catagorey” assign that to one of the unsed page numbers (there are a few in the 1.6 install) and it’ll come up.

I’ve also made changes to the main template.css, if you have as well be carefull.

current bugs in my version

• Images dont display
• IE has some serious right align issues
• Nothing is my fault should you delete your files 🙂 you should only be updating your template file anyhow.

It’s a work in progress but I dont know when I’ll get back to it…

Well… thanks for the post, but this really sounds tricky.
I will wait a bit more for this, since you still have a couple of errors, and maybe JoomlArt come up with something.
This should be easy.
Thanks

Waiting isn’t a bad bet, J1.6 is new and it’ll take a little while for things to make the change.

But i’m using 1.6 and it’s brilliant.

I was tired when I put that last post up, it does sound complex sorry about that, If I fix it up i’ll let you know.
