How do we set up the frontpage similar to the villadi software edition?

What in particular are you referencing to? Which part of the frontpage would you like to look the same?

Probably grab the index.php source from the demo site change the url refs to suit your site and publish the same modules to the corresponding positions they are in the demo?

add /?tp=1 to the end of the site url to see the module positions

It is JA News module and you can download a copy of it in JA Xenia

Have you made sure that the image path in the ja-header is set to the correct folder where the images are located? I am guessing it shows the wrong path. It sure did for me. 🙂

Edit the module and look for the path for your images. Make sure it “points” to the correct template ( in other words your Villadi template.

im referring to ja-news not ja-header. The news component has a rotating headlines which i probably shoulda said not header.

Check my site at http://www.mygoulburn.com and have a look at the templates demo of the villadi software edition for comparison

Looking at the source code form your site against the source rom the software demo seems your missing some code

For brevity only some of your code here
from ja newswrap to ja newscontent

<div id=”ja-newswrap”>
<div class=”moduletable”>
<div class=”ja-newsblock clearfix”>
<div class=”ja-newsitem-left” style=”width: 49.9%;”><div class=”ja-newsitem-inner” style=”width:95%;”>
<a href=”http://www.mygoulburn.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=1&id=1&Itemid=2″ class=”ja-newscat” title=”The latest news from the Joomla! Team”><span>Local</span></a>
<div class=”ja-newscontent”>

same length of code from working site here
from ja newswrap to ja newscontent

id=”ja-newswrap”>
<div class=”moduletable”>
<div class=”ja-newsblock clearfix” style=”width: 100%;”><div class=”ja-newsitem” style=”width: 100%;”>
<div class=”ja-newsitem-inner” style=”width: 100%;”>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
var jahl = new Object
jahl.livesite = ‘http://www.joomlart.com/template/ja_villadi_soft’;
jahl.autoroll = true;
jahl.delaytime = 5;
jahl.total = 2;
jahl.current = 1;
</script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://www.joomlart.com/template/ja_villadi_soft/modules/ja_news/janews.mootools.v1.00.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://www.joomlart.com/template/ja_villadi_soft/modules/ja_news/janews.js”></script>
<div class=”ja-newscat”><span id=”jahl-headlineanchor”>Headline</span><div class=”jahl-newscontrol”><img id=”loading-indicator” style=”display: none;” src=”http://www.joomlart.com/template/ja_villadi_soft/modules/ja_news/loading.gif” alt=”Loading” border=”0″ />
<ul><li><img title=”Pause” style=”cursor: pointer;” id=”jahl-switcher” onclick=”jahlSwitchRoll(); return false;” src=”http://www.joomlart.com/template/ja_villadi_soft/modules/ja_news/pause.png” alt=”Pause” border=”0″ /></li>
<li><img title=”Previous: Zonealarm Internet Security Suite” style=”cursor: pointer;” onclick=”jahlShowNews(((jahl.current==1)?jahl.total : jahl.current – 1), jahl.total); return false;” id=”jahl-prev” src=”http://www.joomlart.com/template/ja_villadi_soft/modules/ja_news/prev.png” alt=”Previous” border=”0″ /></li>

<li><img title=”Next: Zonealarm Internet Security Suite” style=”cursor: pointer;” onclick=”jahlShowNews(((jahl.current==jahl.total)?1 : jahl.current + 1), jahl.total); return false;” id=”jahl-next” src=”http://www.joomlart.com/template/ja_villadi_soft/modules/ja_news/next.png” alt=”Next” border=”0″ /></li>
</ul><span id=”jahl-indicator”>1/2</span>
</div></div>
<div id=”jahl-newsitem”>
<div class=”ja-newscontent”>

basically this says the module isnt published?

you did follow the guide for installing ja news from the xenia guide? after that you did follow the readme that come with ja news?

Installation guide:
– Create a position named “ja-news” on your page
– Install JA News with the guide attached to JA Xenia
– Go to your template’s index.php, replace
<?php mosMainBody(); ?>
with
<?php
global $mainframe, $option;
$m_menu = $mainframe->get( “menu” );
$m_params = new mosParameters( $m_menu->params );

$m_intro = $m_params->def( “intro”, 4 );
$m_leading = $m_params->def( “leading”, 1 );
if ( $option != “com_frontpage” || $m_intro || $m_leading) {
?>
<?php mosMainBody(); ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php if ( mosCountModules(“ja-news”) ) { ?>
<div id=”ja-newswrap”>
<?php mosLoadModules ( “ja-news”, -2 ); ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>
– Add
<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site; ?>/modules/ja_news/ja-news.css” />
within the <head> tags of the template.

That’s about all i can think of at 11 pm 🙂 have a look at all that read the guide and readme just to be sure and get back to us if it’s all been done according to the book.

Cheers ShannonN

i followed everything down to the letter and the module is obviously published as i have the 4 sections just not the rotating headlines on top of it. I even tried uninstalling the module and reinstalling to no success
