#121012

Please note* This fix is for the xenia II shopping template only, but the links below should be able to help you fix the problem in the template you are using.

There have been many questions regarding the question of how to make Ja-News not show up on every page when the read more link is clicked. Well, here is the long awaited solution to make Ja-News go away when it is not wanted.

Contrary to popular belief, this is not a bug of Ja-News, but rather has to do with the way Joomla processes unique URL id’s. The change was implimented in version 1.0.12, and will continue into version 1.5.

Although there is a core hack to fix the problem (in version 1.0.12 anyway) The following fix does not hack the core, but rather adds an IF statement to the index.php to make Ja-News only show on the front page.

Anyway enough technobabel here’s the fix.

Open index.php in your template folder.

On line 283 serach for;

<?php if ( mosCountModules('ja-news') ) { ?>

And change it to;

<?php if (( mosCountModules('ja-news'))&& ($option == 'com_frontpage' )) { ?>

Thanks to swemmel who originally posted the link above, which got me interested in trying to find a fix for this.

I am using the ja_quillaja template…and I followed your directions but alas 🙁 it is still showing up when you click the links…but more than that if you should try and leave a comment using aka comment it refreshes before you have a chance making it pretty much unusable. I have no idea what I am doing…or if I am doing it wrong. Is someone able to assist me. I would be very appreciative if I could get some assistance with this….
thanks in advance

I don’t know about aka comment, but you also have to make sure that you have the parameters set to front page only as well in the JA-News module.

The JA News module packaged with Xenia currently instructs you to make the following template modification–a substitution for <?php mosMainBody(); ?>:

<?php
global $mainframe, $option;
$m_menu = $mainframe->get( "menu" );
$m_params = new mosParameters( $m_menu->params );

$m_intro = $m_params->def( "intro", 4 );
$m_leading = $m_params->def( "leading", 1 );
if ( $option != "com_frontpage" || $m_intro || $m_leading) {
?>
<?php mosMainBody(); ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php if ( mosCountModules("ja-news") ) { ?>
<div id="ja-newswrap">
<?php mosLoadModules ( "ja-news", -2 ); ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>

I would suggest/remind you to also add the solution posted here to restrict JA News to appearing on the font page only.
