    Change position of News story main text

    Posted 17 years 3 months ago
    • This is probably simple, but can't figure it out for the life of me.... I would like to change the position of the text that displays when a user clicks on "read more" from the intro text of a news story. Right now it displays the main text right blow the intro text in the same position as the news module.... Any way to move where this "main text" is displayed at? All help is much appreciated.

    • I'm not sure what exactly you want to do, however maybe this will be of some help.
      The front page is controlled by logging in the admin backend and choosing Menu/ main Menu.
      In the Menu Manager screen click the Home menu item.
      On the right hand side of the edit menu item screen you will see all the parameters that control how articles are displayed on the front page.

    • Hey Roland thanks for the quick reply, I don't think I am looking to change the front page layout, I am pretty cool with out positions can be changed there. I have the news module setup to display in the left section on the homepage. It shows the intro text there with a link that says "read more" once you click read more it opens up the story in the content section (index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1&Itemid=1).

      When it displays the main text here, it is in the same position as where the intro text was on the homepage. I am looking to change the position of this text on this page....

      Did I explain it any better? If nto is there some more info that would be of more help?

    • It's in the core of Joomla...I've been looking myself, also, I found (and was shown a Plugin) that will help with that, but I just haven't played with it yet to find it's full potential.

      Darnit - I will get back to you with the plugin...I have to find it, but yes... I understand what your trying to do.

    • Right on, thanks for looking into it... I am glad someone was able to understand. I have been looking around myself, thinking maybe it is somewhere in components/com_content? I wouldn't think it would be the template file anywhere....

    • I am still stumped... Wingman, any chance you can fill me in on the name of that plugin that may be able to help with this?

      Thanks,
