    How to hide the main content (article) in T3 templates (I’m using JA MERO). I just want to show the logo, slideshow and some components. But I don’t want to show any articles or blogs on the frontpage.

    Hi

    You need to assign the default layout to your page look HERE
    The default.php file has no mainbody-home block inside it templatesja_merotpls

    You are using the Ja_Mero Light as default layout

    You need to make the default layout as default and assign to it the light theme

    Okay so far I have the “light theme” enabled in THEME. Then I have the “default” enabled in LAYOUT. Then in ASSIGNMENT (Main Menu) I have ticked “Home” and Light Color”. Is that correct? Or am I missing something? If that is the correct setting I have then the article content is still appearing which is wrong! Sorry if I have misinterpreted you!

    Hi

    Go to this folder templatesja_merotpls

    Take a backup copy of the default.php file and edit it in this way :

    <head>
    <jdoc:include type="head" />
    <?php $this->loadBlock ('head') ?>
    </head>

    <body>

    <?php $this->loadBlock ('header') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock ('mainnav') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock ('mainbody-content-left') ?> << -----Remove this block

    <?php $this->loadBlock ('spotlight-3') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock ('navhelper') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock ('footer') ?>

    </body>

    </html>

    Save the file, try and let me know if this solve your issue

    Try to reinstall again the template i don’t know if files were modified because i tested it on localhost and worked as should

    my changes applied to your template was not working so i suppose some dependancies file was modified

    you can solve installing again the template
