Hi Folks, sorry to ask a new question so soon. Im on Teline4 & J1.5
My frontpage News (JA-Frontpage-News) slider is working – but – i dont see how to select which articles actually go into the slider. I have about 12 articles selected as frontpage – but do not see how to select which are displayed in the slider. I have set a total of 5 to be displayed but which ones 🙂
I have seen a thread regarding a featured check that is not available in J1.5 is that correct? If so what is the workaround.
We will be upgrading to J1.7 but not just yet as we need to stabilize the site following development and going live.
Regards

Greetings !!!

One way you can check your own configurations with those as to how our demo works is utilizing our “Demo Builder” feature . . .

On each of our template demo pages, you will see a link/tab on the left hand side labeled “Demo Builder.” Clink that link, complete the information and you will soon receive an email with the links to a temporary demo clone of the template – complete with site administration access. The temporary demo site is housed on our own servers and is available to you for a limited time period (usually 24-48 Hrs).

With this, you can compare the settings and configurations as you see in our demo with that of your own – and see if, perhaps, there are any particular settings you might have missed and/or configured incorrectly.

It’s a really useful tool for getting started and/or cross-checking certain settings that you want to perform as does within our demos.

Hi again – OK Ive looked over the Demo, very useful and has helped me find a couple of other things.
But I still dont see how to set a featured article for the slider other than marking it as Frontpage (in J1.5, Teline4).
Im guessing that only the latest frontpage selection are those that show in the slider. If so , I can cope until we upgrade to J1.7 which I understand has a featured setting – correct?.
ATM I have say 12 frontpage, 5 on the slide (so, which go in the slider)
Regards
