Jason,

You fixed it! Many Thanks!

That file is missing from the quickstart I downloaded. Its in the separate Extensions folder that you get with the overall download but ja.news.js was left out of the modules>mod_janews>ja.news folder that is buried within the quickstart folder itself.

Looks like an omission by Joomlart. Maybe they will fix it with the other issues.

mmckeen – this should fix it for you as well.

Ive just looked at your javascript and it says that you are missing ‘/modules/mod_janews/ja.news/ja.news.js’. Maybe this is it?

WOOHOO! 😀

I can get some sleep now, its 6.30 in the morning and I’m shattered.
Glad I could help with the fix.

Cheers,
Jason.

Well done Jay, that did it. How did you find that out? Using Firebug?

There is still a problem with this … at least my expectation is that it is a problem. The dropdown list now appears and you can hilight and click on the category but it always takes you to the Section and not the category you selected. The same behavior is on the Joomlart demo site…

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks Jay973. BTW … like your avatar! I have a pet site for pet owners and yours (assuming that is your dog) looks a lot like our Staffordshire Terrier. She is a great dog!

He’s my last staffy, its a bit of a memorial for him. My current staff is on my profile page. They’re the best breed of dogs I’ve ever known, so different to what the papers have people believe.

Looks like Joomlart needs to fix this one. I hope they are working the bugs out – there are a lot of them.

Goto ARTICLES and uncheck the “SHOW ON FRONT PAGE” checkmark.

Weird, I know, but JANews brings them to the front page automatically.

Have fun.
John.

You should not say…show on front page to get them to show.</blockquote>

Actually there are two issues and one of them has been solved. The first was a javascript file that was completely missing from the module. That has been fixed.

The second is that even though the droplist now displays all the categories, if you click on a category it goes to main section, not the category. That has not been fixed.

Yes I know…I was just trying to answer the first question.

As for the second…I’m still befuddled but here’s where I’m at: Let’s take the CELL PHONES module as our example (if we can figure this one out, all the rest should work)

Here’s is the code being produced – and all of the links are the same as we’ve noted:


<div id="m13" class="ja_quickmenu" onmouseout="mclosetime()" onmouseover="mcancelclosetime()" style="visibility: hidden;">
<a id="menu81" class="first-item" title="Best cell phone" href="/j15b/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&id=13&layout=blog&Itemid=197">Best cell phone</a>
<a id="menu82" class="first-item" title="Cell phone accessories" href="/j15b/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&id=13&layout=blog&Itemid=197">Cell phone accessories</a>
<a id="menu83" class="first-item" title="Cell phone buying guide" href="/j15b/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&id=13&layout=blog&Itemid=197">Cell phone buying guide</a>
</div>


And this is the snippet of code that is producing the above:
from /templates/ja_vauxite/html/mod_janews/blog_item.php (line 24 – 48)


<!-- Display subcategories -->
<?php
$objs = modJANewsHelper::getAllCatIdsByCat($rows[0]->sectionid);

if($objs) {
?>
<div id="m<?php echo $rows[0]->sectionid?>"
onmouseover="mcancelclosetime()"
onmouseout="mclosetime()" class="ja_quickmenu">
<?php
foreach($objs as $obj){

if ($catorsec) {
$subcatlink = JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getCategoryRoute($obj->id , $obj->section));
}else{
$subcatlink = JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getSectionRoute($obj->section));
}
$subcattitle = ($catorsec) ? $obj->title:$obj->title;
?>
<a href="<?php echo $subcatlink;?>" class=" first-item" id="menu<?php echo $obj->id?>" title="<?php echo $subcattitle?>"><?php echo $subcattitle?></a>

<?php } ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>
<!--End Display subcategories -->


My guess is that there is something amiss in the highlighted line above…but my PHP being what it is…I’m stumped.

Again, just my 2 cents.
Hope this might turn someone else’s lightbulb on.
John.
