How to unlock modules that are locked

andHello,

I just bought a "Lifetime" subscription and very new to Joomla 2.5. I am most interested with the News-Magazine template, in this case TWN II.

There are issues I encountered, the most pressing right now is that two \modules are locked the K2 frontpage and latest news. It does not allow me to open these modules

There is an easy way to unlock this with Joomla 1.5 but I cannot fined the equivalent in the Control Panel how to unlock them.

I found TWN II to be very slow in loading, so I am customizing it to be much faster when it loads. The link shown below removed many of the front page features and modules and also unpublished many of the navigational features. I will post my other request for support in other threads.

Thanks

Hi Cornelio,

In the Module Manager, select the modules and click at Check-in button, this should fix the issue.

Thanks Don,

I missed that option

Hi Cornelio,

You're welcome buddy, nice to see you again here if I'm not wrong we had some discussions in Joomlart forum a long time ago

Cheers,

Hi Don,

I was wondering why the name sounded familiar. Were you part of their staff then? I don't recall now because I got busy and has not been as active in Joomlart since 2010.

I only used mainly the Teline series since I was a member there all the way back in 2007. I invested a lot of time in customizing Teline II, but since the came up with the T3 format, they de-emphasized older templates not based on that format, including Teline II. The next version, Teline III was so slow, even if I did not use the JA News module and really stripped the frontpage. The Teline IV was a great improvement, but there were so many unresolved issues until early last year, so I decided to stay with Teline II.

They gave me hope that they will upgrade Teline II to be compatible with the latest Joomla. They did no do it with Joomla 1.6. In one response by Hung, it appears that he was not interested in doing so -- contrary to what the staff and moderators were saying in the forum.

After Joomla stopped supporting Joomla 1.5 and focused on Joomla 2.5, Teline II was never upgraded. So, I was forced to looked elsewhere.

I used the Gavick News template in early 2008 and I like row the modular format of the modules, basically using a common module with slight CSS changes to create other modules. However, at the time, in one of my correspondence with the head designer of Gavick, he said he was not interested in developing a News-Magazine template. I was still a Joomlart subscriber (Developer member) at the time and Teline II was released in May 2008. In my opinion, Teline II was the best news-magazine template in 2008, so I focused my attention on Teline II.

I saw the release of the first "The Wold News" in 2010 (???), and I liked it but I got too busy so I never had a chance to try it. Thus, when I was looking for an alternative to Teline II, Gavick's The World News II was one of my choices. U looked elsewhere, but I was just not as enthused with the other choices.

The other attraction was the "lifetime" subscription. Since, I essentially use only one template and customize them for specific sites, I do not need all the monthly templates coming out. Joomlart told me that they do not have any plans to offer a comparable subscription anytime soon, so here I am.

I almost did not re-join Gavick, because like Joomlart, Gavick also does not update older templates (like the 2010 TWN -- when I browsed the status of the older templates. My concern is that, if Gavick simply stops updating TWNII because they came out with a newer TWN III, then I would have lost all the time, effort and money invested in customizing TWN II. The value of a lifetime subscription is greatly diminished.

The Gavick rep who I had chat with, was not as reassuring. I requested her to relay my inquiry but I am not sure she did that.

Hi mate,

The only thing that makes me remember you is your long posts in JA forums with me, Arvind, and some other moderators there. I was the head customer service for JA last year.

There's a fact here in Gavick team is that we don't have as many people in staff as JA so maintaining products is really hard for us at times because we have to make new ones monthly as well, thus recently we have been focusing into J2.5 templates and new/coming ones only. However support/customer service is always available for you throughout your subscription whenever you need us.

I'm sorry if you have got any inconvenience here.

Cheers,
