#178584

I’m using a modified JAT3 blank template in Joomla 2.5.4

I’ve set up a most read article module.

What I would like to do is change the way the module displays so that it uses a Number instead of a bullet in the list. In other words I want it to be an ordered list not an unordered list.

Ideally I’d also like to style the numbers (bigger, bolder and in color)

Can anyone get me started.

Hi there,

You could override this module for template:

Copy this file: modulesmod_articles_populartmpldefault.php

To templatesja_t3_blankhtmlmod_articles_popular you may need create these 2 folders

Then open default.php file and replace:
[PHP]<ul class=”mostread<?php echo $moduleclass_sfx; ?>”>
<?php foreach ($list as $item) : ?>
<li>
<a href=”<?php echo $item->link; ?>”>
<?php echo $item->title; ?></a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>[/PHP]
with:
[PHP]<ol class=”mostread<?php echo $moduleclass_sfx; ?>”>
<?php foreach ($list as $item) : ?>
<li>
<a href=”<?php echo $item->link; ?>”>
<?php echo $item->title; ?></a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ol>[/PHP]

This override will help your changes to template would not be affected when you update JAT3.

Thank you so much for this solution. Worked perfectly!

Sorry not to have replied earlier but I used to get an email message whenever someone posted a reply on a thread I had started. I didn’t get one for this thread however and so I presumed no one had a solution.

Thanks again!
