Hi Gabriel,

I think that you choose which menu items should display the FrontPage module… edit the JA News FrontPage module, then in the “Menu Assignment” section on the bottom left-hand corner of the screen, click the “Select Menu Item(s) from the List” radio button, then select the menu-items that you want to have display this module (hold the CTRL key to select multiple menu-items). I believe that you would also need to select these same menu-items for the JA News2 module.

Still learning myself though… so give it a shot!
Ken 🙂

Hi there,

I tried this, but hen I select ‘Home’ as the only page I want the module to appear on, it disappears completely. Am I missing something about the application of this setting?

Any help much appreciated!

When I set up the JA News FrontPage Module with the same exact settings as shown above with the same number of articles, The Col-Mass1 section and all the section underneath, fall at the bottom of the CONTENT-BOT section. I also have the JA-News module turned on but it does not have an impact on the situation. Any one else run into this same problem or know of a possible solution?

Elizabeth suggested turning off the <Read More> function which fixed the problem. Thanks again Elizabeth!!!!

The teline iii ja news front page and joomla front page appear together on the home page and the item under ja news2 does not seem to appear on the front page. I have been using with Teline and Telin ii before.
