How do I control what items appear in my newsflashes?
Newsflash is a module that displays content from specific sections and/or categories.
Why cannot I edit my content from the front end?
The most common cause of this problem is the item is "checked out." Either the item is being edited by another user or (more commonly) that the last time someone opened (edited) the file it was not closed properly (or saved).
If you were the person that last edited the article, log into the back end of the site, go to the content manager and find the article in question. It will have a lock next to its name. Open the file and then save it (or cancel). When the content list is reloaded the lock should be gone. Alternatively, someone with superadministrator privileges can use Global Checkin to checkin all checked out items. If using this option, make sure that no one is actively editing a file or their work may be lost.

It is possible to check in your own items that you may have accidentally locked if a link to checkin is available. This may be called something else. You can add this link to a menu by creating a URL link like this: index.php?option=com_user&task=CheckIn Note: It is important that whenever you open an article for editing you should close it using either "save" (floppy icon) or "cancel" (red x icon) when finished with your edits. Failure to do so will cause this lock as described above. How do I link from inside content to another content item?
The simple answer is that you get the page URL you want to link to and then make a link using whatever text editor you are using or (if you have no wysiwyg) with html.
The more complicated answer is that some text editors have fancier links managers. A number of these editors are available in the Joomla! Extensions Directory. What determines what is shown on my frontpage?
Frontpage is a component that is part of the core of Joomla!, like the front page of a newspaper, it shows (usually) multiple pieces of content arranged in some way.
When you install Joomla! the front page component is by default set as the homepage of your site (that is it is the first link on your Main Menu) but front page does not have to be your "home" page. What exactly appears on the front page and how it is laid out is controlled in two ways. First, if you open the menu link in your menu manager in the back end there are numerous parameters that control the number of items shown, the number of columns etc.

To control which items are shown you must also indicate that an item should be placed on the front page by editing the parameters for the content item. In the back end this will be indicated by an icon in the front page column of the list of content items/articles.
In addition, you can use the front page manager (in the content menu of the backend) to control the publication dates and other variables for content items that are on the front page. Security and Performance FAQsSecurity and Performance FAQs

What is a template?
The Template controls the overall look and layout of your site. It provides the framework that brings together common elements, modules and components as well as providing the cascading style sheet for your site. Both the Front-end (Site) and the Back-end (Administrator) of your site have templates.
When Joomla! is installed several templates are automatically included. You can find many more templates at other websites. Some are available without charge under various licenses, and some are for sale. In addition, there are many designers available who can make custom templates. You can also make your own template. Templates are managed with the Template Manager, which is located on the site menu on the Back-end of your site. Can I remove the "Powered by Joomla!" message?Yes. You may remove that message, which is in footer.php. You may however not remove copyright and license information from the source code. How do I make it so my modules are laid out horizontally?Article Supporters: 21 (total)
