Joomla! Discussion Forums

Hi

I have been using joomla for more than a year now and I love it from the first day…
I am still not able to understand one thing… i.e. suppose I want post some article like “welcome to my site” on the FrontPage and I want it to stay on the top.. While the new news contents gets added below…kind of “stick the first article on the top like stickey in forums”

How we can do this? 

Thanks

3 steps:
1. A position has to be defined in your template just before the mainbody
2. Then create, though Module Manager, a New Module and enter the text you like in the editor there.
Choose a position defined in your template.
3. Assign the new module to the Menu Items you want. All for all pages, first menu item for the mainmenu if you want this text to appear only on the Home Page of your site.

Wow

Got it working!!!

Thanks a lot

This gets asked so often, it might be good to
a/ add a default position of "sticky"
b/ add a module "sticky content"
c/ requiere templates to feature that above mainbody..

Yes that works fine, but be aware, that {mosimage} and other bots aren't called on this. You still can put the links into the code directly, so it's not too hard

Old thread, sorry...

The thing with assigning a module to the first menu item is that it only works half way... It will still be displayed on any page after you click 'read more'.

Any way to prevent this?

Yes. Give that module a special position, eg. "sticky", and assign your module to that position. Be sure to apply the module at least to your frontpage (ie, the "Home" menu item).

Next, add this code to your tempate's index.php just before the call to mosMainBody():



That should help.

It will, if com_frontpage is the default first menu item, not if it is an ordinary blog.
