On our frontpage we want to use the contentslider to show selected articles as usual. But instead of a click resulting in showing the chosen article, we would like a category blog layout to be shown.

Clicking on a contentslider element result in opening for example:
/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=64:workshops&catid=42:workshops&Itemid=76

Can this link be changed into:
/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=42&Itemid=76

I’m everything but an expert on this stuff, but it seems that all the necessary variables are known. It ‘just’ seems that the link has to be composed in a different way.

Hello praathand!

Please open the file: /modules/mod_ja_contentslide/tmpl/default.php and try to find codes:
[PHP]$link = modJaContentslideHelper::articleLink( $contn );[/PHP]
you replace them by :
[PHP]$link = JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getCategoryRoute($contn->catslug, $contn->sectionid)); [/PHP]

Good luck
