Hello,

I added additional language to my site according to your guide (http://www.gavick.com/documentation/gen ... oomla-1-7/).
I assigned my main page modules to work with PL and EN Home. But there is a problem - Home PL and Home EN are type of Article and show Featured Articles. Now my startup page looks like any article page or contact page - with wrap stripe with menu at top of page. I lost that fantastic feature from starting page with 'inverted colors' manu on top. Also i lost image in 'header' module - now it is grey - without any graphics. Earlier, without additional language (and language menus) all worked fine. I think this is problem with assigning 'Feature articles' to languages Homes. Is there any solution to assigning something different to those menus - to make this template look like with only one language?

Please make sure that all modules published on homepage are visible for your active language. What is more if you look at template features tab you will see that we use suffix for pages option in homepage, now you Home menu item ID is probably changed so you have to reassign the same suffix for your new 'Home' menu items.

Thank you very much for answer.
I assigned needed modules to any languages but problem was with Header module - it was 'empty' - and main menu was exactly the same like on any other than main pages.
I waded through some documentation on your page and found info about 'suffix magic' ;) Thats great - it solved my problem. I added suffix imageBG to my language Home menu items IDs and all works fine now. It is very useful and powerful feature of your templates but hard to find. Thank you.
