I am working on the site http://www.pan-america.org and have discovered a problem I cannot resolve. The Module JA News Frontpage seems to have duplicated itself and it now appears on my Frontpage in addition to in any other place where I locate it.

To test this, I clicked on “No” for all my modules to disable them – to see if it still appeared in the front (I thought maybe I had created another module and couldn’t find it). Alas, as one can see, it is sitting there right smack in the center. It reads “New South Wales Institute…”

If I turn the actual module on (mod_janews_fp) it appears somewhere else. When I change the Layout Style, the change can be see in that other one – the one that is behaving properly, but a Layout Style change does not affect the one you are seeing now in the frontpage. If I change the number of articles from the current 9 to a smaller number, however, both the one in the frontpage and the second one will change to reflect the new number.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello,
I think what you see is not generated by frontpage module but is layout of leading article in Section Blog Layout. In demo this parameter is set to 1 leading article.
So you have to edit style in template.css for this layout or set number to 0.

Good luck,
Micrantha

Thanks. I just went into the template.css and could not find a reference to Section Blog Layout or any place that designates one articel (1) where i can change it to 0.

Hello,

Go to Menus -> Magazin (probably your menu) -> menu-item.
On right side you see parameters for display of the item.

If you need css-styling, look in template.css, layout.css and one of the css-files for color for selector .leading{}

Good luck,
Micrantha

Micrantha – I just wanted to say something else. As I noted above, what you are seeing in the frontpage when you go to http://www.pan-america.org is def responsive to changes I make to the module. Furthermore, I did not have this problem before – I was always able to control this module and it only appeared once in the frontpage because I placed it there. Then, all of a sudden, I must have done something because a duplicate appeared right below it, but the style layout was the default, not the headline_ft.php I had changed the original one to. I think it’s a glitch.

If you check out the html for http://www.pan-america.org and see what’s in the frontpage, you will also see this module appear. it is there around the area under the Main Container – <div class=”leading clearfix”> I’m not very good with html, so I’m not really sure how to fix this.

Thank you Micrantha. That was the problem, so problem solved. I don’t remember changing this number – I really don’t know how it went from 0 to 1. Well – I can rest assured. Thanks again.
