Basic Sample Data install Joomla! 1.5.15 vr2

Your modules are not really gone

On more than a few occasions, I have come across posts where folks “accidentally” delete one or more of the modules in the Module Manager or they do a “clean install” (that is, no Sample Data) and wonder why none of the Joomla! modules were installed.

Not to worry, there are all there and here is how to get them “back”:

Extensions > Module Manager > New (upper right) > … look! … there they all are! Just click on the one you want, set the parameters as desired and “Save”.

If you do a “clean install”, then all that will be shown in the Module Manger is a lonely instance of the type mod_mainmenu. You will have to go through the above-noted motions to get any and all the other ones that you require / want on your site.

 

How to change "Welcome to the Front Page"

This has to be one of the most-asked questions on the Joomla! Forum. It’s quite easy and quick to do, but that is once you know where to go and what to change. That is what this little tutorial is all about.

1. Menus > Main Menu

Step 1

2. Click on 'Home' or whichever one is the Default (yellow star)

Step 2

3. Click Parameters (System) to expand

Step 3

4. Set 'Page Title' to what ever you want and 'Save'

Step 4

Custom HTML

This is an instance of the Joomla! Custom HTML Module; one of my favourites. Easy enough to implement too.

Here is all that is required:

  • Extensions > Module Manager > New
  • Click on 'Custom HTML'
  • Set the parameters as required
  • Add your content; text, images, video ... you name it!
