Shape 5

Sorry, this is a basic question to which I cannot find the answer. And I haven't used Joomla for a few years and have forgotten (frustrating).

From the "Top text 1 Learn about our church" module, I want to continue what I type on a separate page. Currently the code of the "Read more" button refers to a menu item. That code looks like this: <a class="readon" href="http://localhost/TBC/index.php/features-mainmenu-47/template-specific-features"> Read more[/url]

I've created an article under the "content" category and called it "Learn about our church cont.". It has the ID 85. What do I change in the code above to get it to load on a separate page?

Thanks

Hello,

An article needs to be associated to a menu item for it to load on it's own page layout, or it will always take on the default layout of the homepage. Without that it has no page or module assignment to associate the page with. That is the default way that Joomla behaves.

You need to create  a menu item that points to the article's category. You can publish it on a hidden menu that isn't being used. On that new menu item don't publish any modules. The read more will then take on the page layout and assignments of this new menu item since the article belongs to that category.

Okay thanks, Mike, that makes sense but I have a learning curve, and some experimenting to do. I'm on the Joomla site and there've been a few changes since I last used Joomla.

Every blessing
