Hello,

I am using Joomla 1.5 and I am installing JA Vauxite in a previosuly existing website.

I want to publish my frontpage WITHOUT using JA News or JA News FP because those modules do not fit my necessites. I want to use the regular way of publishing front news.

I’ve been reading a couple of threats here referring to this case. In this one http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/how-to-show-an-article-on-frontpage/ they found the way to make the news appear.

BUT there’s still a problem.The news area (what was called Mainbody on the older version of Joomla) doesn’t have the proper layout: the white bakground is NOT appearing. News are published directly on the grey area.

I can’t give you the link to my site because it is on-line with another template and I won’t be able to publish it with JA Vauxite until this issue is solved.

This is really important for me. Could you please help me???

I’ve found it myslef. There was a mistake on the solution formerly given.

The code should be modified this way:

Change this


<?php if(!$tmpTools->isFrontPage()) : ?>
<div class="ja-wrap-center"><div class="ja-wrap-top"><div class="ja-wrap-bot">

<?php if(!$tmpTools->isFrontPage()) : ?>
<div id="ja-pathway">
<jdoc:include type="module" name="breadcrumbs" />
</div>
<?php endif ; ?>

<jdoc:include type="component" />

</div></div></div>
<?php endif; ?>


To this:


<?php // if(!$tmpTools->isFrontPage()) : ?>
<div class="ja-wrap-center"><div class="ja-wrap-top"><div class="ja-wrap-bot">

<?php if(!$tmpTools->isFrontPage()) : ?>
<div id="ja-pathway">
<jdoc:include type="module" name="breadcrumbs" />
</div>
<?php endif ; ?>

<jdoc:include type="component" />

</div></div></div>
<?php //endif; ?>

This doesn’t work – yes, it makes content show up on the front page, but it totally breaks the layout.

Please, if someone has solved this, can you help out?

Thanks!

You could always open index.php, and move this:


<jdoc:include type="component" />
from line 196, to line 200, so that it looks like this from line 198 to line 202:

</div></div></div>
<?php endif; ?>
<jdoc:include type="component" />
<!-- BEGIN: JAZIN -->
<?php if($tmpTools->isFrontPage()) : ?>
This will result in plain Joomla frontpage layout.

This fixed it, thank you very much! I don’t see a button called “Mark Best Answer” but consider it marked. 🙂
