More Mambo Tips

Written by Kodi Wolf at 7:26 PM

Still working on the site. I cleaned up my code and made it a lot more cross- browser compatible, which is one of my top priorities. Unfortunately, I've run into a couple problems (can't make modules appear on the right side of any page other than the home page, and the right column gets squished in browsers other than IE on pages other than the home page), so I'm still hashing it out.

However, I have learned a few more things along the way:

• To change the order of Content Items listed on a Category page, go to Menu and select the menu that has the link to the Category page. Then select the link from the Menu Item list. Then set Order By in the Parameters box on the right side of the page.

• The title "What's Going On With Kodi" is found by going to Menu, mainmenu, then selecting Kodi's Blog (Home) in the Menu Item list. It's under Page Title in the Parameters box on the right side of the page. You can also change how many entries appear and how, as well as the window title for the home page.

• The polls graphic in the title on the Polls Results page is in poll.html.php in components/com_poll.
