I want to list all articles from multiple categories in a single page. I don't need the category name. But, I want all the articles from the category be displayed.
Go to
Module manager
Create new module type:
Module Articles Category
Now you can select many category or all category in Filtering Options tab.
In Category Filtering Type option, put this to Inclusive
Then put that module on an article and link this article to menu item.
For put module on an article, you can use:
{loadposition myPosition} // add by module position
or
{loadmodule myModule} // add by module name

I have a little problem with Joomla admin content. I couldn't find module or how to edit Joomla content categories while creating new article.
Now the categories showing like that:
What I want to do: if admin choose the category like "News", after that he need to choose subcategory:
Choosing menu item type to "Category Blog,List All Categories, and Category List" would result all subcategories link not direct to all articles of sub-categories.
But I want to show directly the all articles of sub-categories.
main-category
sub-categories
cat-1
article
article
.......
cat-2
article
article
.......
cat-3
article
article
.......
Now, how to show all articles of main-category?
In Menu Item Settings: Blog Layout -> Choose Include Subcategories "ALL"
UPDATE
FYI: This behavior can be set also globally for all Blog Layout Menu Items.
In Article Manager Options -> Blog / Featured Layouts Tab -> Include Subcategories.
first, find the column params in your database table ###_extensions which row name is com_content.
update the inner value in the JSON string, "show_subcategory_content":0 to "show_subcategory_content":1 that mean for 1 level subcategory support.
This is a global configuration.
If you just want one menu item to support that, find the item in table ###_menu and add "show_subcategory_content":1 in params which works.
i'm searching for a module like the "Articles Categories" module which shows a list of all subcategories of one category. Usually when one category is chosen the list of articles in this category is shown. How can i make that the description of the chosen category is shown above of the article list?
bye!
PS: im using Joomla 2.5.14
I am working with different modules in Joomla (2.5) in order to display a variety of things. Right now I am trying to show the featured article of a specific category.
For example: I have three different pages, all showing articles specified by its own category.
Bikes
Gears
Media
Each of these pages has a range of article (lets says 20 each). Each of these sets of articles has a featured article. So there is a featured article for Bikes, Gears and Media.
My problem is trying to get this featured article to display at the top of each main page. I've tried using the Articles by Category module and I've looked into the Article - Newsflash module as well as looking at the code of the front page where a "featured article" typically appears.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a module I may be able to use?
No module needed. Here are two ways you can accomplish this:
In the Blog Layout Options for your Category Blog menu item, set Article Order to Featured Articles Order.
Alternatively, make a new parent category for each existing category and put the featured article in the parent. Set your blog page to show the parent category and the subcategories. Hide the subcategory headings on the page with menu item settings and/or CSS.
I would add the search form in the category pages. The module will make researches in the same category. It's possible?
Add category to Advanced Search. Some pointers here:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/5_-_modules_and_development/search_and_advanced_search/how_to_add_search_by_category_to_advanced_search
You will probably want to do it in a module rather than in a core hack...
Now put some simple form together inside a phtml file, put the layout xml together to load it on category pages. Set the search to add the current category to the search string that gets sent off to your modified 'Advanced Search'.
As for getting that category, try $this->getCurrentCategory();
