I am refering to your post of May 28 published here: http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/ja-news-module-go-to-blog-section-not-to-a-table-section-of-articles/

The site that I am building with JA Teline is here: http://canadawatch.netfirms.com/canadawatch2.org
Only a few content items in a few categories are entered to illustrate my question.

I am using JA News 1.1.1.
——————————————————————————–

I followed your advice in the above post to change the JA News Headings links (the Category tabs) to open a Blog Section view. (Line 366 of the mod_janews.php script.) – (in v.1.1.2 it’s line 375)

However, my headings (World, Empire, Canada, etc.) are Categories, not Sections.

Clicking on the JA_News category tabs displays the blog view of these categories and this is good.

The problem is with the page titles.

Please note that, at present, all the category tabs open a page titled “Blog”, without any indication of what category is being displayed.

In comparison, when you click on the corresponding menu items (on top of the screen), they open a category list view with a page title indicating the category being viewed.

My Question: – When clicking on the JA_News category tabs –

– How do I change the code to open the blog category view with the page title showing the name of the category?

Please see the attached picture to see which category tab buttons I am refering to.

Thank you, in advance, for your help.

Have you tried creating sections named World, Canada, Empire, etc., and then assigning the individual stories to those sections?

I would like to keep sections assigned to menus, for example: Main Section = Main Menu. The Menu Items then become Categories. Why? Because in the future I will open other sections, i.e.: Videos, Pictures, Documents, Indexes, etc. that will have to be divided into their own categories. These sections will have their own separate menus, pehaps on other pages than the Front Page.

Also, I tried it and ended up with complicated submenus which significantly slowed down the website. I want to keep it simple. (No Member Area, no resizing, no changing colours, no submenus – content and speed, not style, are my priority.

Thanks,
