Is it possible to make the module title a link? Then we can let it link to the category blog/list page, if only one category was selected as the content source.

This feature can also be solved by a "More" link ( means More articles in the same category) at the upper right corner (the same line where module title shows).

If you can not make module title linkable, can you add a "More" link/button feature?

Thank you.

@baijianpeng

I got your point, however, this module supports for selecting multiple categories, when adding more link there, it will not know which category it should display. Selecting only 1 category will be ok but people often choose more than 1.

I recommend you to hire a developer to get this done for you, it’s small tweak though

I don’t know PHP programming so it is very difficult for me to do some custom coding work. And I also don’t want to lose those custom code when upgrading this module to next version.

So could you please add a new option of "More article link" (just for those who choose only one category)?

Thank you.

With small tweak / customisation, you can put into ‘local’ folder in template directory where can help to keep you custom changes when updating new version of module: http://www.t3-framework.org/documentation/extend-com-content#isolate-template

Today I tried "JA News Pro module" but this module also has no such a feature. I thought "Pro" means more advanced but it disappointed me.

I think JA team need to develop (improve an existing one) a full-featured news module which will fulfill all kinds of user needs. For example, "category title linking to category page" , or "a button/link titled MORE linking to all article list in the same category", this feature is very useful for all news websites.

Thank you.
