• JA Zin plugin
• [left] JA_Catslwi (Categories Spotlight with Image)We’ll check them one by one now.
• [user5] All Videos module

We’ll check them one by one now.

2.1. JA News Modules (mod_janews.zip)
[position: ja-news]

New version 1.3.0 of our JA News module now came with JA Teline II.

After installed, please go to Modules Manager and click on JA News 1.3.0 name:

Here is the setting of JA News on demo page

For each parameter, please hover your mouse on its title for more information.
On the settings, you will notice there’s one parameter named Category (Section) ID and its setting

13:red
14:orange
8:deepblue

11:lime

Syntax for this is: <ID>:<color>. ID can be sectionID or categoryID base on what you choose right above and color can be color English name in this list (red, cyan, deepblue, green, orange, pink, lime)).

2. JA News Frontpage Module (mod_janews_fp.zip)

JA News Frontpage is a part of JA News packages (JA News + JA News frontpage = JA News 1.3 and released with JA Teline II).

Here is the setting for this module at demo page:

You can limit number of items to display in Number of Elements.
Module height specify the height of each content display:
For other parameters, simply hover your mouse over its title, you will see what it stands for.

4. JA ZIN PLUGIN (plg_jazin.zip)

This plugin will find all available section and categories in your Joomla site and create all menu items link to such section/categories. Once created, menus item will be set to publish status. You can delete or unpublish unnecessary menus.

Install it as other extensions. When done, please select Extensions >> Plugin Manager you will see JA Zin plugin with the name JA Section menu plugin in the list. Please make sure it enabled.

Click on its name to go to configuration page.
Here is the setting at Demo page:

Type in the menu name that you want to create at Menutype. After enable, you will see the menu has been create by click on Menu >> <your menu name>

This menu will be created base on your Section structure and Category you’ve had. If you have any changes in your section/category structure, please select Update Setting = Yes in JA Zin configuration page to make change to menu.

Note: JA Zin used to generate the menu tree for selected section or category. So after you’ve running it and have your desired menu, you can turn it off to save your resource and get a faster load for your site. If you lease it on, menu will be re-generated everytime your page loading.

Now we need to go back to Template Manager >> JA Teline II configuration page and select this menu to display.

2.4. ALL VIDEOS Module (Homepage URL)

Flexibly handle your content streaming with any type of video or audio. You can also save your server’s bandwidth by embedding video or audio content uploaded on other servers (YouTube etc.)

JoomlArt has developed a file call playlist.php to handle the existing videos on your host, please check the setting below to understand how it works and how to use.

For more information about this module, please visit author homepage

2.5. JA MooTabs & JA HighSlide (embedded)
JA MooTabs was integrated in template, all you have to do is publish your desire modules to user6 position, it will be display in a tab on FrontPage. There’s only one note for users who using JA MooTabs: All module published to user6 position MUST set Show Title >> On.

JA HighSlide was also embedded and applied to elements of the page:

If you want to add highslide to other elements on your page, please check out the document and API of HighSlide at:
Document: http://vikjavev.no/highslide/doc.php
API Reference: http://vikjavev.no/highslide/ref/
It’s a bit difficult for non-developer user so I recommended you read the HighSlide document carefully before using it.

2.6. OTHERS

• Login Module: Need to be published to ja-login position.

Settings: Show Title: Yes. Menu Assigntment: All

• Main Menu, Poll, Advertisement,… should be set to right position.
• For Custom module, please read FAQ: how to create custom HTML module.

——-
After you done all above, the base frame of JA Teline II has been setup. We now need some modification in content to match the template layout and style.
You may want to add some module or custom module to position user8 and user9 to make your site look exactly like JA Teline II.

III. TYPOGRAPHY

As usual, JA Teline II came with a rich typography to give users more ability to customize content look and feel. Please check all JA Teline II typography here at JA Teline II Typography

IV. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION

Q: How can I create module position in Joomla! 1.5.x?
A: There are many users don’t know how to create module position in Joomla! 1.5.x, and here is how. Select module that you want to put to new position. In the configuration page, just click directly to the Position box (not the arrow button), you will notice it’s typeable. Delete all and type in your desire position. After saved, your new position has been created and your selected module will be put in that postion.
{image}

Q: How can I make a custom HTML module?
A: In Module Manager, Click on New button {image}. Then select Custom HTML, and click Next. Fill your HTML code to Custom Output textarea and click Save. You will have a new Custom Module as you expected.

Q: Why I need to do many things to make template work? Why don’t you just provide template only?
A: JoomlArt template is More than just a Template. When you download template package from JoomlArt, you will have all extensions included. The template simply will not be perfect without a hand of extensions. It will not only make your site more attractive but also provide users more features and ability to explore your site easier.

This guide is great!
Can I add this:

Here’s what I did to add a banner at the logo.
Open index.php in the ja_teline_ii folder and replace

<!-- BEGIN: HEADER -->
<div id="ja-headerwrap">
<div id="ja-header" class="clearfix">

with

<!-- BEGIN: HEADER -->
<div id="ja-headerwrap">
<div id="ja-header" class="clearfix">
<div align="center">
<?php if($this->countModules('upperbanner')) : ?>
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="upperbanner" />
<?php endif; ?><br />

Then open templateDetails.xml and locate

<positions>
<position>hornav</position>

Replace with
<positions>
<position>hornav</position>
<positions>
<position>topbanner</position>

Create a banner you wish displayed.
Go to Modules, create a banner module, select ‘topbanner’ as position and you should be all set.

WORTH KNOWING…. if you have chosen wide screen then the banner should be max 468×60 or it will slide under the logo.
If you have auto on then you could get away with a banner 728×90 or more.

Hey sorry I’m new at Joomla, but I am trying to replace the top banner with my own. I followed you post eva, but where do I upload my PNG banner? I added the module and selected ‘topbanner’ but where do I put the banner file?

Images for banners need to go in /images/banners/ folder.

[jocoproductions Friend jocoproductionsJoin date: October 2008Posts: 6Downloads:0Uploads:0 Thanks: 2]

#273886

I have got my banner png in that directory and I have configured the banner module, but where do I tell Joomla or cpanel that I want to use the png in my banners directory as my banner? Cause as of right now I havn’t specified that and I don’t really know where to.

And on a side note, I am trying to change the color of my theme to red but I have no clue how to go about that. Under template manager the only color theme option I have is Default.

In Admin, go to –> Compenents –> Banners

Choose the banner you have published in the list and then:

In then “Banner Image Selector” choose which graphic you want for this banner.

Note: Only images in your /images/banners/ folder will appear in this list.

Good luck!

I don’t know what the hell I’m doing wrong. I edited both the XML file and the php file, created and selected my banner component and created a banner module with topbanner set yet it still doesn’t show up. I think my problem lies in the module, all I specified was a banner client and category, but I did not get to actually select the banner in the module like I did in the banners compnent. My site is at http://www.pvhspoint.com

Screenshot of my module:

If you installed the ‘Quick Start’ demo site. Go to the Modules Manager and find “Videos – Drive your way”, that’s the video module!

Hallo,
Ich habe das JA-News-Moduk 1.3.1 im Template Teline II eingebunden. Joomla 1.5.8
Aus irgendwelchen Gründen gelingt es mir nicht, mehr als sieben Kategierien auf der Stzartseite darzustellen. Ich habe alle infrage kommenden Kategorien (10) mit der entsprechenden ID ausgestattet und trotzdem zeigt mir die Startseite nur 7 der 10 an.
Was mache ich falsch?

Grüße aus Germanys oldest City = Trier

The tabs all have individual names in the module manager.

Go to the module manager and filter by position, User6. This should give you a list of tabs available (Recent, Popular, YouTube, etc.).

Hope that helps
