I am using JSN ESCAPE PRO template (LINK HERE) . I installed sample data but for some reson when I create new article it is not showing on home page. Does someone knows where is the problem ?
When you're editing the article, is Featured set to yes?
If it is, is your default menu item set to the type Articles ยป Featured Articles
That's the easiest way to have articles show up on the homepage, if you need more than one there.
In Joomla 2.5 the sample data home page depends on which sample data you chose. It could be the Joomla category blog view, so in that case you will want to either add your new article in that category or you will want to change the home page to another category view or maybe to featured like #Doyle-Lewis said.

The contact page of my site is https://example.com/contact_us . On google, it shows like
which is not very good.
It seems there is no way to edit from admin panel the meta title and meta description of this page. neither on theme panel.
So, how to edit this from core files?
catalog/view/theme/default/template/information/contact.tpl
seems not having any related, and don't see a way to edit loading header just for this one page
can you have any idea ?
I hope it's 100% working for you.
Find the controller Path of Page. you wish to edit and then do the below,
PATH : catalog\controller\information\contact.php
Find:
$this->document->setTitle($this->language->get('heading_title'));
Add After:
$this->document->setDescription('My description, this is where i type my text after i remove this text.');
$this->document->setKeywords('my, keyword, this, is, the place, holder, for, my, keywords');
I have created my own Joomla template using Joomla 3.1.
I have my main menu with the menu item "home" that leads to the front page.
I have a module called "body" in which I want my articles to be displayed, depending on which page the user is I want a different article to show up.
The article that I want to show up on the "Home" page is in a category called "home". My menu item "home" is a single article linking to the article I want to be on the front page.
All of the statuses are on published and the access on all mentioned items are public.
When I open the front end I can see the "body" module but no article. If I try using Protostar there is no problem and the article shows up.
Can anyone help? I suppose it is because there is no link between the "body" module and my article/category...?!?
Found the solution: all I needed to do is to add the tag jdoc:include type="component" / into my template. After that it worked fine...

Is there any way in Joomla2.5 to create Home/Landing Pages (ie. "default") pages for each category.
For example, I would like the user to be able to go to www.somejoomlasite.com/category1 and see a default home page for category1, and a different home page for category2 and so on. Is there any way to achieve this? Could I create an article under each category and set it's alias as index? or will I get an error about having duplicate aliases (even though they are under different categories)?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Please let me know if I need to provide further info.
An alias has to be unique within a category. So you should be fine using the same alias in different categories.
You should be able to achieve a structure like you described with menu items for each category. And of course SEF needs to be turned on with rewrite enabled.
The menu items don't need to be visible on the page, you can also create a "hidden" menu. Just don't show the accompagning menu module.
These menu items can be anything: a category list of the articles, an article itself, a featured list of articles in a category or whatever you like.
I want to use single form for several pages like a block. Sitecore always creates a new form for a page.
How to share/reuse a form?
Depends on weather you are using WFFM 1 or 2 but it is quite similar.
Go to "Presentation/Layout details" for the item (page) that holds the form. You will find a rendering called "Form Interpreter" click this.
If you are using WFFM2 there is a "FormID" field that has your form selected. Just add a similar rendering to every page that you want the form to appear in and select the same form.
For WFFM1 there would be a parameter called "FormID" and a sitecore ID, copy this ID and the same renderings to the other pages including the parameters.
Good luck, Larre
There's an option to select a form to copy from. See paragraph 2.3.1 "Copying an Existing Form in the Page Editor" of this guide.
I had same issue with WFFM MVC version 8.1 (initial release)
our content editors wanted to use experience editor(page editor) and didn't want to change the datasource by going to presentation details and updating the datasource.
It doesn't need any coding
1- Copy /sitecore/layout/Renderings/Modules/Web Forms for Marketers/Mvc Form and give it a name "Custom Form"
2- Set the Data source location
3- Add the new rendering to place holder settings
/sitecore/layout/Placeholder Settings/content
