Once I hide the front page activity stream - can I put content in that position? or, Is there a module position to assign a custom html module so I can have static content on the front page in the activity stream position?

This is a design layout question. I would like activity streams only in the groups and the front page static.

Hi, Carl.

You can add new module position so you can assign a module to i.

Need to edit this file:

ROOT/components/com_community/templates/default/frontpage.index.php

copy it to: ROOT/templates/your-template/html/com_community (if you don't have "html" or "com_community" folders, feel free to create them)

And add:

<?php $this->renderModules('my_js_frontend_position'); ?>

Okay thanks!

Now if I could just get the new module width the same as the activity stream width I'll be looking good. My new module is pushing the modules in the js_side_frontpage position down.

How do I control the width of my_js_frontend_position module / position?

thanks again

Hi, Carl.

I need to see it.

Please, make a printscreen and share it with this service: prntscr.com/
Or post a link to your site so I could see it.

Here's a link to my jomsocial frontpage:

color1photo.com/members

If possible I would like to create a custom html module where the activity stream is (and the same width as the activity stream). When I turn the activity stream off the area is blank. When I assign a module in that position it pushes the other modules in the js_side_frontpage position down, changing the layout.

I'm trying to start a little photo contest with details on the front page to instruct members to join groups, if possible. thanks!

Hi, carl.

Admin credentials you provided us seems not work... i.imgur.com/q6PRVRm.png
Also FTP access will be helpful so I could see how you implemented php code.
Please, edit your first post and add credentials to corresponding fields.

Hi Michal,

I reactivated the log-in credentials so they should work now. You can access files through the media manager. If you prefer using an ftp client the log in is This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with the same password supplied for the admin log in.

If you turn the frontpage activity stream to off, that position becomes blank. I would like to put a custom html module in that position that is the same width as the activity stream, so the side position modules are not displaced - if it's not too much trouble. thanks!

Hi, Carl.

No, I still can't get in...
To connect via FTP I need a host address :)
Please EDIT your first post, add and check credentials.
I can't do anything without them...

Hi Michal,

Your first response was helpful enough for this question so I'm going to say my problem is fixed.. I can now put a custom html module on the frontpage. I looked at JomSocial module positions and see the position I'm looking for is available on profile pages but not available for the frontpage. Seems odd, but that's okay. I'm learning. I'm just going to use the activity stream and see if that works for my needs. I've got a few simple questions I'll post as new topics if necessary. thanks again for your help on this one.
