This is a problem with the permissions on your server. Please make sure the FTP layer is setup on Joomla and re-install. This will will solve the problem.

Limit of 3

gamenzie — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 19:03:40 +0100

Thanks...very handy module. Is there a limit to the number of articles which can be featured? I have 5 listed in the parameters but only the first three are being displayed. Glenn

No limit on articles

DART — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 23:54:52 +0100

Hi Glenn. There is no limit on the articles you can display as you can see on the demos. Check whether the articles you have are published or not.

Missing articles

gamenzie — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 13:14:19 +0100

They\'re published, but they are both \'uncategorized\' articles, previously linked only from a menu. Is there something in the module that excludes non-categorized content? Thanks. Glenn

great

Problems with changing the ord

Indemnis — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 02:14:04 +0100

Hi, First of all this is a great module. But i have a problem with ordering and changing the entries i put in the proposed field. Yesterday i put 2 content item ids in the proposed field ... so far everything worked without problems... the 2 entries were shown on the frontpage.... now i tried to change the order but no matter which option i chose nothing changed... Well... as far as there are only two entries its not such a big problem. Today i wanted to add a third content item id ... so far so good... i saved the changes and switched to the frontpage and reloaded it... nothing happend... back to the backend the 3 ids were in the proposed field... so the changes were saved, but not stored on the mainpage. Is there anything i didnt consider? Please help me

Previous and next links possib

stmatth — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 01:43:53 +0100

HI, I\'m wondering if it is possible to have \"previous article\" and \"next article\" links? Let me explain: I\'d like to make a \"highlights tour\" of my site, where visitors can easily go to the next featured article. So I\'d like to be able to include something like: \"This article is part of the highlights tour. Go to ->next ->previous ->start of tour\", and of course next and previous determined automatically through the article list.

Previous / Next

This functionality is not available, however I think we could create a nice module like you are suggesting. I suggest you post a Feature Request in the forums for this.

Great

I downloaded the 1.5 module, installed (via joomla uploader) & configured as per your web instruction. Great job.

I want all article show

rm4 — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 10:06:56 +0100

I want all article show. How can I do it???

all articles

DART — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 23:03:51 +0100

Rm4, this is currently not a feature of the module. You would have to enter the content id of each article.

current style

ajshades — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 15:10:47 +0100

I want to edit the css to show the current article page you are on but the current build does not accept this. It only allows the use of - Module class suffix. How can I edit the php to show the current article page you are on? (by a different color, bolding the link etc)

Use ItemId

DART — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 08:16:10 +0100

I believe that you can edit the code of the module to change the CSS based on the current ItemId. Its not very flexible, but it may achieve what you would like to get...

current style

ajshades — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 13:21:30 +0100

Maybe I didn\'t explain well enough. By default the joomla menu system includes a current style so when you click on a navigation item and are on that page it changes that menu item to be the current style: \' id="active_menu-nav" \' Even if you click on a link through your module each menu item looks like : \'< li class=\"featuredarticles_menu\"> \'. Is there anyway to edit the php to include a current or active style?

current style

Hi, I\'ve included the item in the Feature Requests, and will try to include this (if possible) in the next round of development ;)

SEO?

argent310 — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 18:38:03 +0100

I am trying to use Joomla! native search-engine-friendly URLs, and I can\'t figure out how to make the Featured Articles mod work with it -- instead of the correct URL, it tries to go to [sitename]/features/[itemID].html. How do I get it to point to the correct URL, so that it will work? (I am using Joomla! 1.5.9, and this is the native SEO component, not a third-party mod. I have gotten it to work with everything else [i]except[/i] featured articles, so I would really like to get this fixed. It\'s a great mod otherwise.]

DART — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 23:12:13 +0100

Originally, the mod has been tested such that it works correctly with Joomla 1.5 and SEO enabled. We\'ll just take another look and retest to make sure that it still works correctly and then advise. Unfortunately, there is no particular date set for this since we are quite busy at the moment!

argent310 — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 15:13:32 +0100

On a hunch, I tried uninstalling the module completely and reinstalling it, and this time it worked.

undefined varible issues

pctech — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 13:23:45 +0100

here is the errror: Notice: Undefined variable: link in C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\web\\modules\\mod_j15featuredarticles\\tmpl\\table.php on line 27 repeat 10 times its equal to the number of articles i have in there. Everything works fine but debug spits out that error on enabling debug maximum. also i installed a forum called Kanaui or whatever and it gives me those errors even if debug was on normal mode. how can i clean this code up? what is it wanting me to do?

Warnings

DART — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 10:13:17 +0100

The messages you are seeing are only warnings and can safely be ignored. You need to set a setting in your php to disable php warnings and they will not show up anymore.

Pro vs Free?

waitz — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 10:41:20 +0100

What is the difference between the pro and free edition?

DART — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 01:46:11 +0100

The free version has a link to the author. The Pro version is currently not being sold though.

Thanks

Failed to get Items, check your parameters!

jgonz — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:16:33 +0100

Hi there, I installed the component, added the ID to my article and enable it. Injected this into the breadcrumb on my home page. This is the error I am getting - \"Failed to get Items, check your parameters!\" Any ideas?? Thanks!!

DART — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 01:13:34 +0100

There are two ways this might occur: 1. Incorrect format of article Ids (11,2,3) including brackets. 2. Unpublished categories / sections / articles.
