Featured articles

No aspersions intended! I appreciate all the work. I had migrated a site from 1.5 and retained the featured articles on the front page.

My surprise was that you are a coding God who must be all-knowing. :ugeek:

I try harder to go flexicontent all the way. I find the blog template good but I cannot find where to turn voting/favourites off. I tried to edit the template files item.php and item_html5.php but nothing changed.

What could I be doing wrong?

Thank you

About voting:

FLEXIcontent uses a special Field which also configurable per content Type,

if as you say you cannot disable it, then it is not the FLEXIcontent voting field,
it is Joomla Content plugin for voting, please go to joomla plugin manager and disable it there

Joomla content voting plugin places it's code via the onBeforeDisplayTitle event (we have a such position in all our templates for compatibility) since about 2-4% of content plguins use these events (onBeforeDisplayTitle, onBeforeDisplayContent, onAfterDisplayContent)

Hello, in r1692 we

- fixed the item featured flag to be updated properly - and also allowed the access to the backend featured management view,
- added a quick icon into FLEXIcontent Dashboard too that open COM_CONTENT backend featured management view in a popup

The Use Joomla Featured Flag option on the configuration what it does? hide the Featured flag on the "basic" tab for item edit? Cause is not working

Hello

this is not used by FLEXIContent views,

-- it used in Joomla featured listing (if you want to use it, create a Joomla menu item of type "Featured ...")

-- FLEXIcontent has multiple "Featured" categories capability, which we recommend using

(select your top-level featured category inside component parameters at TAB "Featured and Markups")
