Background :
a)I am trying to rebuild a site for a "Strategic Think Tank" (SASFOR
sasfor.com
)using Flexicontent.
b)This is a content rich site before I started re building it had 15000+ content items. As such I believe that flexicontent is best suited for this project.
The Problems /Questions
1)How do I get the content on the front page . Old Joomla had a add to "Front Page" option on the editor interface. I use JCE.
2) How do i get content on the Front Page with the default text limit . For Example in the "Introtext max length" parameter I have set the limit to 1000 words.
Now this works wonderfully on that specific "category page"
But I can not seem to get the whole shooting match on to the Front page !
3) I can not seem to use Peters excellent component "FrontpagePlus Blog Layout" that lets you have multiple "Front Pages" . Or At least I can not find it in the Menu under Flexicontent .
So Naturally if I use the component "FrontpagePlus Blog Layout" then I can not get my Flexicontent items to show there either - any suggestions?
All the above may sound very silly and amateurish but then I am a Newbie.
So if you can help me please remember that I an totally new to this line of work . I do not understand words / terms like php or HTML etc ! As such any help given will be appreciated it is in Plain English and in little baby steps !
Thanx
