I apologize if this question has been asked before but I couldn't find an answer.
I created a main menu with several links to category featured articles and
I would like to assign one module to single article, not assign the modules to the menu positions but for example mod1->art1, mod2->art2... Unfortunately, I do not know how to do it. Does anyone know how to deal with it?
What you are looking for is a Joomla extension called "Advanced Module Manager".

This gives you a lot more options and flexibility for assigning modules to different things (including single articles).
The free version has worked just fine for all my sites.
Good luck.

So basically, I wish to load a few article posts within a category to a module.
These article posts must be the latest 3 or so that have been published.
I have searched far and wide for answers, but I couldn't seem to find anything. I found an extension called 'Articles Anywhere', although I don't think it can do what I am asking exactly.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
From what you describe, Joomla has this module in core. It's called the Latest News module. You can read more about it at http://docs.joomla.org/Help25:Extensions_Module_Manager_Latest_News
I'm playing with Joomla 2.5.9 (The latest 2.X download). Do you know how you can add additional menu's to the "Article Manager: Edit Article" page? (This is in the Administration)
Their API gives me some hint on several things but I am don't know what this right "Slide Down Option Area" is called in the Administration.
In the right area there are things such as:
Publishing options
Article Options
Configure Edit Screen
Images and Links
etc..
I want to know where to start to add my own, or where they are already built in the system so I can base mine off it -- Is this a plugin, module, or something else? :)
As i say don't change any of the core file in Joomla. If you want to add any functionality into the article manager you can make your own plugin to add functionality in it. For doing this see this link :
Creating a content plugin
I hope this is what you looking for.Good luck.
There are some extensions that allow you to do that.
I recommend (although somewhat buggy and a code mess) this one:
FieldsAttach
It does exactly what you want.
Or, you could make your own as Toretto suggests, there are some tutorials on creating a plugin for extra items in the article form, but the already-made-extension route seems to make more sence.
I've been using FieldsAttach for this sort of thing, for a few years, the code is often a little messy, that is true, but the the concepts are clean and eloquent. Brian Teeman explains it well from an integrator point of view in his talk at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2WLKWbRj5U but in some ways it is even more compelling from a developer's perspective.
However, after watching Marco Ding's Joomla Day UK 2016 talk on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDh1IPuZAVA I think DPFields may be a better choice. The architecture is perhaps more rugged and neater, but also because it may well end up being a core extension in Joomla in the near future. More info on DPFields is at http://extensions.joomla.org/extension/dpfields , https://joomla.digital-peak.com/products/dpfields and https://joomla.digital-peak.com/documentation/162-dpfields .
I've just started work on an existing Joomla! site, and have a requirement to add an alternative language version of an article. Note that this isn't a full-internationalization effort - we don't need every part of the interface translated - just the need to have another 'version' of an article. Ideally, though, this would include more than just the core content - for example, title. I don't really want to create a second article because, in essence, this really is just a single article, and I don't want things like comments to be split between two separate articles.
Does anyone know if this can be done using joomla core?
If not, can anyone recommend an existing component that will do this?
A good component for manage translations in Joomla 1.5 is Joom!fish. It allows you to do a whole internationalization that, as you said, isn't exactly what you want to do. However I like to think in the long run so, if there's more change, I have not to restructure again and again just because of I haven't thought it before. Hence, if I were you, I would like to use Joom!fish anyway.
Well, as a short fix - Google Translator works and can be installed into your template you're using.
Then you can set it to be hidden unless the users browser is set to use a different language as default - then a small pop-up box drops down and it asks to translate it using google translate.
If that's not the option you're looking for - joom!fish is a good component others rave about but I don't have much experience with personally. Outside of that I'm not really sure.
Hanny had a good idea that would be really easy to implement in an article with the right extension. You can use this extension -
http://www.nonumber.nl/extensions/tabber
This would allow you to easily create tabs with the translations available anywhere you have them. The page above uses the extension to display the tabs, it would be trivial to implement.
helo all!
i want to see the numbers of comments of any article on frontpage in joomla.
how can I add this plugin or module for the readers know the numbers of commments per article...
sorry for my english :D
Which component are you using for commenting? There are a bunch out there - in terms of displaying comments on the front page, I think you would probably have to contact that developer to see if they have a plugin to help with that, or write some code of your own to assist with that (it shouldn't be too hard - some templates have that functionality out of the box even).
Ultimately it will depend on which component and if the developer has already created something to go along with that plugin.
I would like to add dropdowns to the top navigation on a magento site, would this involve a plugin or is there built in functunality that could potentially do this already?
It is tough to say based on your details, but if you are looking for mostly css menus I believe many of the free themes that come with magento have drop-down menus. Also, there are several free and paid extensions that have slightly different functionality from the stock themes. Check them out by searching Magento Connect. One that I used before was ExplodedMenu (it also has a paid big brother, SuperMenu), but your requirements aren't really that clear, so it is tough to say.
If you are talking about select-box dropdowns, I am not so sure. You can certainly build your own extension, possibly starting with ExplodedMenu as a template.
Good luck. :)
