Hello everybody,

I was wondering if it could be possible to show section articles instead of category articles in ja contentslide ?

Would anybody have a hack or some tips for me ?

Best regards,
David aka Shapes

Hello,

I managed to be able to choose sections instead of categories in the backend configuration of the module by replacing “catid” with “secid” on files “mod_ja_contentslide.php”, “mod_ja_contentslide.xml” & “application.php”…

Thought it would work, but I got “JA Content Slide Error: There is not any content in this category” error when trying to view it on the website… 🙁

Someone any ideas ?

Best regards,
David aka Shapes

I have the solution for you. you must to done some works as following:

1) you must to download the lastest version, you will upgrade for your module, you can get this from the JA Mona Template.
2) i have two options for you choose:
a) we will make a litte change with config and code, it ‘s very simple to display artilces from multiple categories ( not use for sections )
b)to doing something as you expected, we will make heavy task , it ‘s complex work, I can done all

now, i will post solution for option a:
you open file modules/mod_ja_contentslide/mod_ja_contentslide.xml, you find code at line 71:

[PHP]
<param name=”catid” type=”mos_category” default=”0″ label=”Category” description=”A content cateogry” />
[/PHP]
You replace it by :

<[PHP]
param name=”catid” type=”text” default=”0″ label=”Category” description=”A content cateogry” />
[/PHP]

Finally, you put ids of category in option “Category” (@example: 1,2,4), update and testing, I make sure that it work done :)</blockquote>
