SIgn into the Admin area and go to the Module Manager to find JA News Frontpage. Edit the properties. Set it enabled, and set the position to JA-News. While editing the module also review the Module Parameters. Compare them to the User Guide that’s available on the front page of this JA Uvite Forum (see sticky notes by version). Save. Then also review the Module Parameters for the JA News module (not the frontpage module).
Finally, click Yes for the Frontpage setting for the content that is to be featured (featured=shows at the top area as bigger content). Smaller JA News content does not have the Frontpage enabled.
Voila! You should have front page items showing.
The JA News module is in 2 parts – the Frontpage module, and the JA News module. I set both modules to where the only menu assignment was Home.
