Title: Turn off "Read Also" from front page [Solved]
Post by: jpearl on July 20, 2009, 20:09:23

I can't seem to find a away to turn off the Read Also item on the front page. The lowest it goes is one. And how do I determine what category it reads if I do want to use it?

i think you are talking about "read also" of  module-frontpage

Admin>>modules>>sitemodules>>frontpage

scroll down to view configuration-parameters ... there  exists the option to enable-disable it
also there exists all other options you are asking about...  categories.. etc.

Thanks for the response, however
Under the frontpage modules parameter setting there is a setting to hide or show "Read More" but this does not hide "Also Read" which shows up at the very top of the frontpage. The count parameter controls the amount of headings to display under "Also Read"  but the lowest number is 1.

The only way I have been able to get use a front page without the "Also Read" is to not use the frontpage component and to choose a separate page or section  category etc...
I would still like to know how the frontpage component turns the Also Read off and  how to choose the content it displays.

Ps in my previous message I said "Read Also" and It should be "Also Read"

I did a test, on the frontpage's module parameters. Turned ON and OFF the "Read More" (that's how its called) option. And it works fine.

After some PMs  :) i saw what you mean! You are talking about the title of the frontpage module. You named it "Also read".

Go to Frontpage module, and in "Module Details" on the 2nd row you will see the option "Show Title". Set it to NO or change the title.

Hope this helps!

sorry but that didn't work. I did what you said and it did turn off the title for the content but not for the Also Read.

i still see it ...

module frontpage wont work if you have no  sections and cats or try to pull data from non existed ids etc...

in this page i can see that you have zero #intro items and  at least one to count


when 10 count and 6 #intro  then
6 listed in blocks and the other 4 in Also read


to remove header  you don't need to hard-code(not recommend)  you can use css and display:none

eg.  .modfpg-ctitle {display:none}

Thanks for the help. In the end I decided not to hard code to remove but instead just use a blog section for the front page in case some time in the future I want to use The "Also read" feature in another page.

As for the the css fix by KS-net turning off eg.  .modfpg-ctitle {display:none} did work for the  "Also read" icon but the content items still showed up.
If you want me to change it so you can see let me know.

you didn't get it...

if (not necessary ) want to use frontpage-module and not have  the "also read" both header and items..

config as this>>   count 4  #intro 4

Sorry but I guess I should have have been more clear. Your advice did work and I appreciate the help but I don't want anything "Also Read" or any other info that displays in that part of the page. I just want one paragraph to start at the top of the page without any links, captions, intro's etc... above it. Hope that makes sense.

eureka

adding the sections ID into the frontpage modules parameter setting solved the problem
