Hi!

How do I make JA News Frontpage module and copied JA News Frontpage Headline module to the same page independent from each other? All articles assigned to Frontpage show in both modules. How do I assign separate articles to each?

1. I copied the JA News Frontpage module and placed it “0” order before the existing JA News Frontpage module.
2. I went into Advanced Parameters and changed the copied JA News Frontpage layout to HEADLINE layout so that I had random images showing.
3. I assigned an Article/Image XX to HEADLINE layout. This is all good and works, but
4. this Article/Image XX also shows in the JA News Frontpage layout just below on page.
5. I don’t want the Article/Image XX article, which appears in JA New HEADLINE to also appear in the JA News Frontpage layout. I want to assign different articles to both modules.

How do I make each copied module independent from each other, so that I can assign separate titles and articles to each module? All JA News Frontpage and JA News Headline modules feature the same titles and articles. I have tried to change linking in the module, section, category, and article managers, but with no success. Please help…

Thank you for your help,
Deb

Hi Tienhc,

Thank you for your reply. Can you provide me with a custom code for the JA News Headline module that will add an option to assign content from a separate category? Independent from the JA News Frontpage module.

Thank you,
Deb

Dear guy!

Sorry for my delay.

Here is the solution for you:

1) Please open the file: modulesmod_janews_fpmod_janews_fp.xml and find a tag at line 31

<param name=”hiddenClasses” type=”textarea” default=”” rows=”10″ cols=”30″ label=”HIDDEN CLASSES” description=”HIDDEN CLASSES DESC” />

replace:
[PHP]

<param name=”hiddenClasses” type=”textarea” default=”” rows=”10″ cols=”30″ label=”HIDDEN CLASSES” description=”HIDDEN CLASSES DESC” />

<param name=”category” type=”category” default=”” label=”CATEGORY SELECTION” description=”CATEGORY SELECTION DESC” />
[/PHP]

2) open the file: modulesmod_janews_fpmod_janews_fp.php and try to find code at line 46:
[PHP] $rows = modJANewsHelperFP::getHLNews ( $numberofheadlinenews );[/PHP]
Replace:
[PHP]
if( ($category = (int) $params->get(‘category’, 0)) <= 0 ){
$rows = modJANewsHelperFP::getHLNews ( $numberofheadlinenews );
} else {
$rows = modJANewsHelperFP::getList ( 1, $category, $numberofheadlinenews, ‘created’ );
}
[/PHP]

good luck

with above codes, allow module to work well as you aspected:
a custom code for the JA News Headline module that will add an option to assign content from a separate category? Independent from the JA News Frontpage module.

and more, if you do not choose a category, then the module ‘ll display articles from the “Front-Page articles” source.

Hi Tienhc,

I implemented the codes and both JA News Headline and FrontPage modules now show a category pulldown selection, independent from each other. This is very, very good!

However, I have lost my HOME page. (All other pages show content) The HOME page is blank,void of content showing the error message: Fatal error: Class ‘modJANewsHelperFP’ not found in /home/XXXXX/public_html/modules/mod_janews_fp/mod_janews_fp.php on line 40.

When I set the JA News HEADLINE module from ‘select category’ to a category, I get the blank page with the error message: Fatal error: Class ‘modJANewsHelperFP’ not found in /home/XXXX/public_html/modules/mod_janews_fp/mod_janews_fp.php on line 42.

When I set the JA News FRONTPAGE module from ‘select category’ to a category, I get the blank page with the error message: Fatal error: Class ‘modJANewsHelperFP’ not found in /home/XXXXX/public_html/modules/mod_janews_fp/mod_janews_fp.php on line 40.

We are so close to making this work. What have I done wrong?

Thank you so much,
Deb

Hi Tienhc,

I recently installed the latest version of Teline II. I have also customized other areas of this template. To re-install would require me to customize the template again. Please take a look at the following codes, which include the replacement codes you provided. Can you help me fix this? –Thank you.
