I am new to Joomla.
I am working on a Joomla website for a construction company.
I have created pages for each projects of the company as article page with following regions:
Project Title [article/page title]
Banner Slider [5 images of particular project using any slider]
Project Description
An image of the Project Plan.
My requirement is:
How can I insert the slider pluggin into each article page to have my second region working (BANNER SLIDER). I cant do it globally because for each project/article page the whole 5 images differ.
Thanks in advance for any sort of lead.
Seeing as it's a module and not a plugin, what you can do is duplicate the module and assign each one to different articles.
To do this, go to your Module Manager, select the module and click "Copy". Not sure what the slider module is called but I assume you can select which images you wish to use, so be sure to do this for each one. You then need to give each module a custom position. Simply type one in rather that selecting one.
And finally, in each article, you can call a specific module by adding the following code:
{loadposition XXX}
where XXX is the position you have assigned to your module.
Hope this helps
Use the Slideshow CK module, which can be found here: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/photos-a-images/slideshow/image-jquery-slideshow/20362
We use it for our clients and they all love it. It also works right out of the box.
you can use Widgetkit component and create custom slide show for each article and show each article slider in article with Widgetkit short code.

I can create a standard Joomla template in my sleep, but recently I had a client come to me who wants a vertically scrolling, single page site. I whipped up an HTML/CSS mockup that functions beautifully but I have a question re: converting it to a Joomla template:
Do I just create a single article in Joomla that contains all of the content for the single page, and then create menu items that link to the section divs?
Many thanks,
Cynthia
yes I think that good , also you can make all items in "index.php" in template folder and make menu items link to divs by "#" plus ID .
you can add all items you want as module and you can use component in modules plugin lik :

Hope that help you
You'd be better to insert the content via creating a bespoke module or component - putting code in the WYSIWYG area kind of defeats the point of using a CMS at all - someone with no coding skills has to be able to update the site and not accidentally delete the layout.
I'd perhaps question why it needs it to be in Joomla at all, though. It doesn't sound like it will be benefiting from many of its features.
I have been searching for a good carousel in joomla and found this one
SJ Carousel Free It also came with a user guide
I cannot make any sense out of the guide. I want to display a few images from a folder. I have been breaking my head over the "External Path" attribute in the module. It say images/{id}.jpg. What exactly does it mean? Where should I place my images.
I have posted in the official forum but didn't get any answer.
I'd also be grateful if some of you can suggest a few good joomla carousels. I cannot find some easily configurable carousels
I gathered that when the module is installed, some sample articles and a category are created which the module is then linked to. You should see how the images are displayed with the sample data. I assume that there is an image with a class and a description within a <p> or <span> tag in each article. If this is the method used, simple edit the current articles and copy them should you need any more.
The user guide is pretty straight forward. Should you need support, you should really contact the developer of the module else find an extension that is easier to use.
It appears that you need to create a category with articles containing the pictures you want to display. (I think each pic needs to be in a separate article) Then, you select that category in the Data Source box in Source Options Tab, while editing the SJ Carousel module.
I'm currently developing a website in Joomla, I wanted to know how can I change the location of a article, like all the articles will by the default go in the center position, I wanted to make a article to go to the right position, under my search menu, so I make links there.
I have found the resolution to my problem by using the module Module as Article joomla module:
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/news-display/articles-display/content-embed/7528
In Joomla 2.5, I want to display two separate blog-type streams of articles on the same page, with the complete text of each article. I can get one using jdoc:include type="component". But I also need the articles from another category elsewhere on the same page in that same format -- first a category header, then the complete text of each article.
Modules I have tried:
Latest News: displays a list of articles, not the complete article text.
Article Category: same
Newsflash: Displays the complete article text, but doesn't have a way to display a category header.
This seems like an obvious thing to want, but I don't see how to do it in Joomla. Is it just impossible?
Thanks in advance.
if you want something ready-to-go, then this is your solution:
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-enhancements/embed-a-include/18121 (Paid)
If you can modify joomla extensions, this ones could do the job (after playing for a while with the code to add the articles text to the queries):
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/news-display/articles-display/articles-listing/13950 (Free plugin)
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/news-display/articles-display/articles-listing/7314 (Module)
Or maybe take a look at these JED sections to see if there is anything more useful:
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/news-display/articles-display/articles-listing
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/news-display/articles-display/content-embed
I've been struggling with displaying more than one category-blog on a home page, but have now found a working solution.
Install the Plugin "Plugin Include Component" and the Module "Article Placed Anywhere" - both free.
For each blog that you want to appear on the same page:
In Category Manager create a category to hold the blog items (articles).
In Menu Manager create a menu item, probably on a hidden menu, of type Category Blog, referencing the category that you just created.
In Article Manager create an article contaning just the plugin code
{component url='index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=XX&Itemid=YYY'}, where XX is the category ID and YYY is the menu item ID of those you just created
In Module Manager create a new module of type Articles Placed Anywhere, select the article just created and the position in which you want it to appear.
I need to add a component into my Joomla articles.example(i have create a article in joomla ..in this article i needed added image gallery.. that gallery functions are in one joomla component..) how to create it?
There are a couple of ways to do this. First, the easiest is to get a plugin specifically designed to do this. I prefer Simple Image Gallery Pro. There is a free version as well http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/photos-a-images/photo-gallery/1468. With this plugin, you simply upload your images to a folder for the gallery you wish to create, then reference that folder in the article you want the gallery to appear in with {gallery}myphotos{/gallery}
You can also replace the Joomla article with the extension K2. It has galleries within content items built in. It uses Simple Image Gallery and is written by the same developers.
Last, you can also use a plugin that allows you to load components within an article - http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/2723/details.
EDIT
I forgot one. Last, last some of the good image gallery components also come with modules that allow you to display galleries in a module position. You would need to have a menu item or advance module manager in order to assign the module to the correct article, but it would give you a lot of flexibility in where you place the gallery.
