This is harder than I expected :blush:

I have a couple of Joomla sites. But they're based around articles: the body of the page is filled with articles, you click on links and open articles.

How do I put MC modules so they occupy the entire width of the page? Right now I managed only to put them in the left sidebar. The middle of my page is blank. How do I put the popular albums, recent albums, etc in the middle of my page? The Home menu is set to the "mandatory" MC home page.

I'm using Jamba theme too by the way. Are there simpler templates that would work better with MC?

Thanks!

    the way to include modules in the MC home page is using the {loadposition} tag

    its very simple. you have to use the INTROTEXT parameters of MC configuration.

    example:

    create a module and save it on a unused position, lets say... user8

    then, on introtext parameters, just type:

    {loadposition user8}

    and the module will render in there.

    this method may not be very intuitive at the beginning, but if you're used to it it's the perfect way to take control over all the homepage and totally customize it to your needs.

    Everything is very easy for you :laugh: Thanks, I'll read up more and mess with this for few more days before asking any more questions. Thanks for quick responses!

    Sorry, where do I find "introtext parameters"? Thanks.

    NEVER MIND, I think I figured it out! Thanks!

    because this plugin, loadposition, is not rendered in here.
    it's rendered in the introtext params only

    i dont mean to steal someone elses thread but there was another question asked in this topic that was not answered
    and i have the same problem

    I know how to add a module into the INTROTEXT
    but the module is not taking up the width of the area.
    Its only about 300px wide
    its the scrolling module that shows RANDOM albums
