FAQ:How to publish Hot Property or Mosets Tree to Joomla frontpage?

[dknight]

This trick applies to other component as well. All you need to do is to make the component the first published item in your mainmenu.

1. Login to the Administrator
2. Goto: Menu -> Main Menu
3. You should have a "Hot Property/Mosets Tree" item in the list of menus. Otherwise you need to create one by clickin on the "New" icon.

   1. Select Component and click Next on top
   2. You will reach the page called Add Menu Item :: Component. Fill the following values to the form
      Name: Hot Property or Mosets Tree
      Component: Hot Property or Mosets Tree
      and leave the other options to default value
   3. Click the Save icon

4. Once that is done, move the "Hot Property/Mosets Tree" item all the way to the top, replacing the "Home" menu.

Is there a way to have Mosets Tree and other content on the front page? It looks a little plain with just Mosets Tree...

[dknight]

The only way to achieve this is by show content in modules position, ie "top", "user1" and "user2" depending on the template you're using.

This help works, but if you want to have link name Home for MSTree component in main menu, than are in pathway shown two Home names... So how to trick out this?!?

The only way to achieve this is by show content in modules position, ie "top", "user1" and "user2" depending on the template you're using.

The only problem is that EVERY page is now "Home" and you cannot turn off things like a "Welcome" message.

What would be REALLY useful is if the elements that make up HP were also controllable as Modules.

For instance, the Featured/Latest/Hot Prop (PIC) modules should also have the ability to selectively show other fields, such as Price, Location, Agent, etc, with THUMB positionable (left, center, right). All nicely controlled through the back end.

Property Types should also be a module, with the ability to select by Type (like latestnews), including ALL.

THEN we can use standard templates, create a few UserX boxes either above or below the Joomla content section and create a servicable homepage and selectively include whatever is needed ;-)

THAT would be ideal (to me, anyways).

I agree. This would also help me out cause I'm using Mambo Access Levels by Mambobrothers for Site Access. The problem is that MAL blocks all of HP from nonregistered users. I just need it to block parts of it.

If HP was all in modules, I could have MAL allow users to search & view lists but have to register to view the whole property page.

Right now, I have another component that I made appear on the home page by moving it to the top of the main menu and calling it home.

Per post below, I read this:

"The only way to achieve this is by show content in modules position, ie "top", "user1" and "user2" depending on the template you're using."

I know how to do this with any module. But, how do you do this with Component? How to put it in [top]?

I need to make Main Content of the Directory as seen in #4 http://www.mosets.com/tree/tour/
on the front page, above existing component that is located on home page and STILL have both components on the home page.

How do I achieve this?

Please help.

This issue was never resolved. There are a lot of request and questions on how can this be done.

There has to be a module for listing and not the component so we can combine it with other modules too.

Please help us on this.

Thanks!

For Joomla 1.5.17 it does not work.... too old instructions .... neither at the help page links...

[gray]

Yes, these instructions are for Joomla 1.0.

In Joomla 1.5.x, create a menu item linked to Hot Property front page layout on Menu Item Manager: [mainmenu] page. Then, assign the menu item as Default. That's all.

Detailed instructions could be found here.
