Homepage with one module, no content.

Hi, I need to create my homepage, with a single module like slideshow, with no content.
If I disable the content set as frontpage me back on 404.

Is there a solution to create a homepage with only a module set as homepage, without content?

Many thanks to all for the help.

You should use option called 'suffix for pages' in template settings and set some suffix for 'Home' menu item.
Then create suffix in override.css file like below :

Code: Select all

.mySuffx #gkMainbody {display: none}

Thanks bkrztuk.

I activated override CSS, from advanced settings.

Added to the line

Code: Select all

.noarticlehomepage #gkMainbody {display: none;}

in override.css.

Features from the menu options of the template, suffixes for pages I wrote ItemID / Option: 101 Suffix: noarticlehomepage.

But it does not work, and the item is still displayed.
What's wrong?
Thank you very much.

Could you show me your site ?

sorry my lack of knowledge, but I can not at all make it work. Done in many different ways and nothing. Note the ways I came to do:

- I created the line. NoMainbody # gkMainbody {display: none} in file override.css, then went into Extensions> Manage Template - I created an override (saving and setting for home), I went to the flap and on the features of Elements Template override Suffixes are placed on pages in code ItemID / Option: 101 Suffix: noMainbody. Then it was on Main Menu> Home> in style in Teplate selected the override I created.

I made this procedimentoo va'rias of ways: with and without activation activation override CSS, and using noarticlehomepage noMainbody, both suffix (Elements Template override is in Suffixes pages) as in override.css .. selecting and not selecting the menu item id, and can not make the articles come out of the home ...

Where is my fault?

Could you show me your site URL ? I want to check whether the suffix is visible in firebug because from your description everything looks fine.

this moment is with the suffix: Itemid / Option: 101 Suffix: noarticlehomepage. And override.css:. Noarticlehomepage # gkMainbody {display: none};
URL: http://proflexcolchoes.com.br/site/

Thankful.

The suffix is not added to the home page >> http://d.pr/i/Enqz are you sure that your 'Home' menu item has 101 ID ?

Hi I have the same problem. It's crazy that it's so hard to turn the front page articles off. I never build Joomla sites where the article shows on the front page anymore.

ok. So I followed the instructions here:

To overides.css, I added: .mainbodybegone #gkMainbody {display: none}

I then turned CSS override to "ON" in the Templates advanced settings. I also pasted the same code into the "Custome CSS Code" space in the Templates advanced settings (just to be sure)

Then, under Suffixes for Pages (in Templates>features) I put and Item id of "1" (that's what my main menu is) and set the suffix to "mainbodybegone"

Does not work. I still get the white band where content would show.

What am I doing wrong?

Please check this article, this is step by step tutorial how to hide part of content on selected page >> https://www.gavick.com/documentation/joomla-templates/how-to-disable-content-on-selected-joomla-pages/

This is driving me NUTS. It has taken hours and still no solution.

Ok. So I followed the instructions step by step. I tried a number of item ID's until I could see

class="noMainbody" (using firebug) in the main page (it was item id 101). Then I added:

.noMainbody #gkMainbody { display: none !important}

to the overides.css file and I turned template overides to "ON" in the template>advanced settings.

What I'm not clear is, what is the syntax for the suffix box in the Suffixes for pages part. What should I put in the suffix box?
-.noMainbody
.noMainbody
noMainbody

I believe just "noMainbody" is correct and it is worth noting that NONE of them work.

To sum up:
1) I put in suffix (template>features>Suffixes for pages), ID = 101 , Suffix = noMainbody ... visible on front page (via firebug) class="noMainbody"
2) I added to overrides.css ".noMainbody #gkMainbody { display: none !important}"
3) I set CSS overrides to "on" (template>advanced settings)
4) I also tried turing overides off and pasting ".noMainbody #gkMainbody { display: none !important}" into the custom css box in templates>advanced settings.

Nothing works.

I clean the cache each time and reloaded each page anew. What am I doing wrong?

This code looks properly :

Code: Select all

.noMainbody #gkMainbody { display: none !important}

and this is how your override.css should look like. Could you give me URL to page where you set the suffix ?

I've implemented it on this page:

www.printsofspain.com

In fact mainbody is hidden but the white box stays from gkContent elements, please use this code :

Code: Select all

.noMainbody #gkContent { display: none !important}

That's it. Great. Super thanks!
