Good Evening JoomlArt Community,

I’ve hopefully a quick questions with regards to the main_body area. Essentially, when I write articles for my front_page, I would like them to appear in wider form when clicked into the full article. Right now, my problem is I can’t seem to hide the modules from the right or left side… therefore my articles in full form are appearing very narrow – expanding the vertical size of my site considerably.

When I click into each module now appearing on the right side, I can’t seem to deselect the “front page” given it is “home”. Is there a way to do this on the back-end, or perhaps a simple setting I’m overlooking? Again the idea is, when a guest clicks “read more” on my front_page articles, I want the article to expand into both the left and right columns rather than showing homepage modules.

Thanks a bunch,

Benjamin

Modules could be assigned to specific menu items. Look at the back-end of each module. In the assign menu unselect “Show at all” and choose only the pages you’d like the module to appear. In your case – modules should not be assigned to Home menu link. Just leave it unselected.

Have a look at this page

Good Morning Gray,

Right, I understand the specific menu item control… but my issue is I want these modules to show up on the home page itself. When I click on an article header within my homepage, it brings me to the entire article. And the entire article displays on the homepage, therefore keeping the modules surrounding it. Is there perhaps a way to redirect where the full articles are displayed? I’m using K2 as my article manager.

Let me know if this makes sense… Essentially my ‘read more’ links below each article on the homepage is opening the article, but opening it on my homepage.

Thanks,

Benjamin

Your article assigned to a section/category. Create a menu item linked to this category and set modules not to displayed.
If you use K2, not sure is it possible or not, by logics is the same – assigning menu item and deselecting it in module settings.
