I use the template for joomla Lead
I would like to use the body Frontpage, instead of Ja_News.
I do not want to use the Ja_News

Thank

I am having the same issue – when I disable Ja-News no articles show on the frontpage at all – even when I set it up like any of the templates without JA-NEWS – you come to an answer yet?

This is extremely annoying as it makes the whole site useless without being able to switch off JA-NEWS. Well as I say I have switched it off and still no good 🙂

Agree, I also want to use normal frontpage and dissable ja-news, everthing else in JA Lead is okay, but since can’t do that, I use another template.

I have edited this template significantly so therefore need to find a solution to just simply using the frontpage layout in place of JA-NEWS. Seems odd that you cannot just switch it off to be honest so I presume the fix is pretty simple when it is found.

I have submited this to joomlart without reply. Do they actually do support on these forums? I remember a time where they responded instantly to support requests but something as major as this not working on a template is kinda massive. I mean you cannot use this template without JA-News which means its pretty much redundant – but even ja-news does not work right so the whole template seems redundant – but maybe there is an easy fix. If so can someone post this because i think alot of people are bypassing this template for these reasons!!!

yes I have. twice and posted a number of times. Its a global issue with the entire template so it has to be fixed and re-released I presume.

I know the same was with other templates in the past see:

http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/normal-frontpage-instead-of-ja-news-blog/

Maybe its the same solution, worth the shot.

Yes this solution above does work. Thank you very much for taking the time to post this solution – it has helped massively. I do wish the JA-News module would work properly and have 2 lead articles but I dont think it does.

Regards,
James

simple fix: comment out the if test in the PHP code.. for newbies – use # before the if.. Remember to put a # before endif also..

Edif file: index.php in ja_lead template.

[PHP]
<?php #if(!$tmpTools->isFrontPage()) : ?>
<div id=”ja-current-content” class=”clearfix”>
<jdoc:include type=”component” />
</div>
<?php #endif; ?>
[/PHP]

I used this code, but it does not work. Or am I doing something wrong?

Strange.. the only thing the original code does, is to check if the page requested not is the front page. If it’s not the frontpage, it will show the component (the real content of a page) as normal. If it is the frontpage, the special news will be shown (the element we will remove).

try :


<div id="ja-current-content" class="clearfix">
<jdoc:include type="component" />
</div>

(yes – remove php code completely)

What happens? Do other pages work as normal?

You can also try to rename the directory com_frontpage (to com_frontpage_old) in the “templatesja_leadhtmlcom_content” directory. Then it uses the normal html code instead of the Joomlar special template..

Let me know how it goes.

I have tried as you suggested, but it doesn’t work. What I see is only a title of one article that is supposed to be on frontpage.

Is there any simple way to make it as a normal template with Body module? Why don’t the developers reply to this problem?
