    • I have installed the Meta Morph template

      I see several page types
      com_content
      com_contact
      com_search

      How do I add new pages thru the admin section based on these page types?

      I also would like to link back to the referring page and home

      Thanks for answering a newbie......

    • Those are just components. You don't add new pages/articles to Contact and Search...
    • Please reply with a direct link to the issue & create a new thread for each new issue.

    • How do I install a component on or as a template? I'm trying to use the RokQuickCart Manager.

    • To add a component or a plugin or a template, go to Extensions then to Install/Uninstall, then use the Upload Package File if the zip or tgz file is on your computer's hard drive. Then you will see the component appear under the Components menu item or the plugin or template under the Extensions menu item. You can configure them from there.

      The template used by the component will be the same as the default template that you set for the website. With the new Gantry framework templates, you can assign a template to a specific component more easily than you could using the older templates.

      You'll also need to set up a menu item for the component to be accessible by visitors to the website.

      Hope that helps.

      hi christopher,

      you can create a new link to
      com_content by creating a new menu item with menu item type = internal link (article, blog layout etc)
      com_contact by creating a new menu item with menu item type = contacts (contact category or standard contact)
      com_search by creating a new menu item with menu item type = search (search layout)

      you can find more info here in the joomla docs:
      docs.joomla.org/Screen.menus.edit.15#Menu_Item_Types

      hope this helps, kat :)

    • For com_contact you'll need to set up your contacts first...

      From the top menu, Components > Contacts > Contacts / Categories
    • Thanks,
