#4 - Customising the Joomla Frontpage http://www.dart-creations.com Sat, 21 Nov 2009 07:11:56 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.dart-creations.com/joomla/tips-and-tricks/4---customising-the-joomla-frontpage.html#josc20 Hi mate, thanks for the help. I\'m still amazed at how flexible Joomla is. Although I\'d prefer non-tabled layouts. 1.5 Should be great! :) Gavin Doolan Mon, 02 Jul 2007 06:21:33 +0100 http://www.dart-creations.com/joomla/tips-and-tricks/4---customising-the-joomla-frontpage.html#josc58 thank you Raed Darwich Fri, 17 Aug 2007 07:47:05 +0100 http://www.dart-creations.com/joomla/tips-and-tricks/4---customising-the-joomla-frontpage.html#josc120 This saved our project from certain doom. It\'s so simple, it hurts.

It\'s currently what joomla\'s default is \"Welcome to the front page\". I went to the home button, but there\'s no title to change in the parameters on the side. Thanks Sephan Wed, 05 Mar 2008 05:29:30 +0100 http://www.dart-creations.com/joomla/tips-and-tricks/4---customising-the-joomla-frontpage.html#josc233 Hey there. I\'ve got a couple of links from joomla front page to some articles but when i want to look at each article it displays the article within the mainbody of the front page, rather than showing the article on its own? Is this a built-in characteristic? or is it just my site? or is it just me? or am i crazy?

Really this is the stupidest way they could have built it. Why is it not linked from the frontpage manager?

Thanks Lubna Wed, 24 Sep 2008 11:35:42 +0100 http://www.dart-creations.com/joomla/tips-and-tricks/4---customising-the-joomla-frontpage.html#josc905 Yes you can. For J1.5 you just need to create a link to the weblinks component and set is the Default link. For J1.0 you need to make sure that the first link in the main menu is set to the weblinks component.

You confirm it yourself: \"This simple question is asked over and over again on the Joomla forums by newbies. \" If it\'s asked so much, maybe the problem is with the system, not the user. Just my 2c. Sebi Wed, 07 Jan 2009 18:07:09 +0100 http://www.dart-creations.com/joomla/tips-and-tricks/4---customising-the-joomla-frontpage.html#josc1257 thanks a lot!

I\'ve even increased the \'leading\' number to 5. Yet, Joomla still formats a second Front Page Article as if there were 2 columns. This is extremely frustrating as it makes the article far too narrow to fit the text and graphic I want.

Anyone has any idea about how to solve this ??

However, you should be able to tweak your template to be able to come up with something similar to that. Alternatively ask at the Joomla forums, they might be able to guide you better on this.
