I’ve tried disabling JCH-Optimize and you are right, the red ‘New Articles’ button still doesn’t work. The Developer Webconsole doesn’t say anything about CSS or JS conflicts, whether JCH-Optimize is turned on or off.

I also tried disabling the NoNumber Joomla CDN plugin, to make sure the problem is not caused by it, but that made no difference either.

I also went through all the enabled non-core-Joomla plugins, turned them on and off, but wasn’t able to make the’New Articles” button work.

I have another problem with your template that might be related, but I’m not sure. The mega menu editor in the template manager no longer works. The button to open it no longer is displayed. I’ve posted a separate ticket about it already, I’m just mentioning it in case it’s related.

Hi @andrewwinkler,

After rechecked everything from the start, I figured out the problem. Please navigate to admin >>> Extensions >>> Module Manager >>> choose What’s New? (ACM) in position whatsnew.

In this module, you choose to select all articles within 7 days as new articles but in parameter Filter Items Of, you choose Topic, therefore although you can see 13 new articles but none of them will be displayed, choose back to default and you will see them.

Brilliant. It worked.

Now, is there a way of also displaying the title of the new articles, maybe even a truncated version of the introtext and a thumbnail of the intropic? Right now all it displays is the date, the author and the article category, which might not be enough to entice readers to click on the article link to open it.

Hi @andrewwinkler,

Actually you can hack to the code and pull the data to display image here but such task require lots of modifications so I’m afraid I couldn’t assist you on that.

Next is about the title, please open file templatesja_teline_vcsscustom.css (if you don’t have this file, just create a new one) then add this code :

.whatsnew-wrap .magazine-links .link-item {
height: 140px;
}

Great! Thanks. It’s working now, except for the links. User can’t simply click on the titles to go directly to the articles. I though that was the purpose of that feature, for users to get a quick overview of the latest articles and quickly navigate to them.

I checked this but “Linked Titles” was already set to “yes”, so that’s not the cause of this problem.

Hi @andrewwinkler

Try this method instead:

1. Open file htmllayoutsjoomlacontentlinkclean.php and look for this line :

<?php echo JLayoutHelper::render('joomla.content.blog_style_default_item_title', $item); ?>

update as below :

<?php echo JLayoutHelper::render('joomla.content.blog_style_default_item_title_linked', $item); ?>

2. Duplicate file htmllayoutsjoomlacontentblog_style_default_item_title.php and save the new file with name blog_style_default_item_title_linked.php. Open new file and look for this code :

<h3 itemprop="name">
<?php if ($params->get('link_titles') && $params->get('access-view')) : ?>
<a href="<?php echo JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute($displayData->slug, $displayData->catid)); ?>" itemprop="url">
<?php echo $this->escape($displayData->title); ?></a>
<?php else : ?>
<?php echo $this->escape($displayData->title); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</h3>

update as below :

<h3 itemprop="name">
<?php if ($params->get('link_titles') && $params->get('access-view')) : ?>
<a href="<?php echo JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute($displayData->slug, $displayData->catid)); ?>" itemprop="url">
<?php echo $this->escape($displayData->title); ?></a>
<?php else : ?>
<a href="<?php echo JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute($displayData->slug, $displayData->catid)); ?>" itemprop="url">
<?php echo $this->escape($displayData->title); ?></a>
<?php endif; ?>
</h3>

Okay, I tried that, but now the title is no longer displayed and therefor also no link.
