Folks
I’m probably just missing it but I can’t figure out how to put three articles in a Builder module and have them respect and use the Joomla Read More link.

For example, Features 1 has a nice arrangement of two rows of three items. For now, I’m simply putting in text and creating a link to the article. I’d prefer to use the Joomla readmore in this block or a similar one.

Can I do that?

Hi
You can use default Joomla module or any 3rd party modules to show the articles,
In Joomla its Articles category module that shows the article from the selected category.
You can show it using Spotlight block on your builder site.

Pankaj
Help me here please. I’d happily read the manual but these topics aren’t covered yet.

Re: You can show it using Spotlight block on your builder site
I try loading a spotlight block but do not see any way to show articles. Just what should I click on to show articles? How do I create two columns?

Re: You can use default Joomla module or any 3rd party modules to show the articles,
How do I call the module? I’m used to marking the articles as featured and they then appear in position and columns. How do I position it?

re: In Joomla it’s Articles category module that shows the article from the selected category.
I’m not sure what you mean by articles category module. Where do I find it?

Hi
Open Joomla module Manager> create a new module > type > articles category > configure this module save and publish.

Now edit the builder page > add spotlight block and load this module in it.
Example: http://prntscr.com/h538zv

Hi
For the spotlight block, you can change the column settings.
In the module these are default Joomla module, if you do not like the view, you can find 3rd party module from Joomla extension directory and use them.
