Filtering by ARRA, you will see our module unpublished. Just open it and you will see main options page:
We can start to customize our module.
1. Article Selection Options
Step 1. We should start by selecting component from were we want to show articles, there are three options for now: Joomla! content, K2 content and EasyBlog. If you choose K2 but is not installed, you should see a red color warning: This component is not installed! Click here to download!, otherwise there is no warning and you can go to step 2.
Step 2. We should choose the way that we will get articles for module, there are three options: by article ID, by Category or Featured. You don’t need to know articles id’s, just click on “Click to select Articles/Items ID“, a gray box will open and you can select one by one or multiple. If you want to select articles from categories, just select one category or multiple and click on “Click here to set options”
Categories options:
Featured Options:
Once we have set “Article Selection Options” we should go to:
Module Layout Options
We prepared 8 layouts for module, we will add more in future, you just need to send us your choice and we will implement it. For now, you just “Click to select layout”
see what option will be the best for you and just click on radio button, that layout will be automated selected for your module.
Just under is “Layout name” you can set a title/heading for your module (is not module title that you can show/hidde from left options), and “Click here to set options” will allow you to show or no the name, to put a link on it, to align (left, center, right) or to assign a custom CSS class.
Also, a very important option is to set layout columns, this will display articles on one or more columns, depending of the space you have for module. If you want to publish module on side (left/right) position, then the best choice is 1 column, if you publish module on a position in the middle of the page then you can have 2, 3 or more columns.
