Settings for "Articles - Newsflash"

A module utilizing "Articles - Newsflash" stopped working when I installed the News Portal. With the News Portal it does not display the text at all (and it's not there in an un-seeable font). Also, it displays the date the item was added (which it did not before - I don't want the date created displayed for this).

The module "Wisdom from the Church Fathers" is assigned to "bottom1". In all previous templates this module has had "Number of Articles" set to "1" and the "Order" random.

I tried duplicating the "Latest" module as a fresh start. When I duplicated "Latest" I got "Error SQL=INSERT INTO `j31_modules_menu` (`moduleid`,`menuid`) VALUES ((349,1023))". I was able to the edit the duplicated module to use the sub-category I wanted and save it, but no matter what I did it still showed the same content as the original "Latest". For test purposes I left it in "User1".

You can see the original module towards the bottom of the home page under "Wisdom from the Church Fathers".

Many thanks for your guidance!

You are talking about core joomla module or it is 3rd party component?

Core Joomla.

What happens when you rename:
templates\hot_news_portal\html

to

templates\hot_news_portal\_html

temporaly

When I rename "templates\hot_news_portal\html" to "templates\hot_news_portal\_html" the following happens:

1. The topmenu2 (dropdown menu) displays incorrectly.

2. The random module still does not display the text, but the date value disappears.

open:

templates\hot_news_portal\html\mod_articles_news\_item.php
