    Is it possible for mod_ja_catslwi to display random articles from a category. I presume I must edit an sql query somewhere. Can anyone point me inthe right direction with the mysql change??

    thanks

    Hi kflynn !
    You can do it following way below :
    open helper.php file in modulesmod_ja_catslwi folder , find following code setion at about line 158 :


    ' AND cc.published = 1' .
    ' AND s.published = 1' .
    ' ORDER BY a.ordering' .

    change to :


    ' AND cc.published = 1' .
    ' AND s.published = 1' .
    ' ORDER BY RAND()' .

    1 user says Thank You to Sherlock for this useful post

    Thanks Hainn,

    This is a very good idea to present old articles or feature articles.

    Is it limited only to one category?

    Is there a way for this to pick articles from the entire site or selected sections and categories?

    Is it possible to make the “Hot Topic” horizontal, make a copy of the module, then place it at the bottom of the body (above the footer section) so that it will span the horizontal width of the body?

    By the way Hainn, thanks for the Teline II v1.4 fix, it is not complete but some key issues were dealt with. I do hope more of the problems that were already solved are included in future fixes.

    Thanks.

    Hi cgc0202 !
    it is posible for selected sections and categories and special articles . but you must edit more code of the module.
    About Hot topic horizontal , you can change css and template of ja_catslwi module. View rochea template , you will see Hot topic module with “horizontal style”.

    Thanks for responding Hainn,

    I know how to analyze problems. I have no background in scripting to edit code. If you can help, that will be great.

    “Is it limited only to one category?

    I had the same question.
    In Module Page, go to edit “Hot Topic”.
    You will have to edit the “Category IDs”, you can set one or multiple IDs. I solve my problem inserting multiple ids with commas, like: 54,55,42,91,77,90,58,87,59,60

    :p

    Thanks Superdeh,

    Do you have a page where I can view it, in action? Gavick Pro has something like that., except it is not for random.

    Thanks for sharing the link. Nice one. The pepsi image exceeds the space at the top. Did you disable to the JA News FrontPage module?

    I do not think there is a limit Andre. Not really sure. If you look at the sections Intro Page it just lists all the articles in the section. I assume that will be the case also with Category.

    The solution may be through the JA News Component (this is different from the JA News modules). You can customize the layout for each Section or Category, at least that is what Hung says.. But, the JA News Component is not ready yet. There are no detailed instructions so I could not go past creating the Homepage

    Andre,

    What slide show module are you using? Is it the Joomlaworks FrontPage slideshow? or from some other company?

    Can you please do me a favor, can you insert the slide show at the top, without removing the JA News FrontPage?

    I tried to use the Gavick Image Slide Show, but it does not work well with my previous Joomla 1.0x -Teline II. I have not tried it yet with my Joomla 1.5x-Teline II.

    Which version of Joomla are you using?

    Cornelio

    N.B.

    Oh, you are using the original Teline. Yes, I have inserted a slide show in one of my sites where I used the original Teline.

    i’m using the 1.5 version, with teline II.

    i tried to customize the default slide show but i had a lot of problems… and now i’m using the the frontpage slideshow from joomlaworks…

    what favor do you want to?

    so, can you show me your site too?

    Andre, I thought you are using Teline II or original Teline? My mistake. Why is this in the original Teline Forum, if you are using Teline II?

    I had not problems inserting image in the original Teline, but encountered problems inserting the Gavick Slide Show in the Teline II. I decided not to buy the Joomla Works because I was not getting support with the Simple Image Gallery. It worked with my earlier Joomla 1.0.x-Teline but not my recent installations.

    By the way, Ana may have an answer to your previous question:

    Someone is asking for this, Ana. I think I will need it myself when I reach that point. More specifics please, step by step. I have not reached this stage yet.:)
