Modules
iJoomla Magazine has seven unique modules that make it easy for you to organize your magazine and make it an even better read for your users. Like other Joomla modules, you can display your modules on every available position of your template. Use the modules for navigation and as teasers for different sections of your magazine.
Magazines List
The Magazines List displays a list of all the published magazines and can be used to allow your visitors to navigate between your magazines.
Tip: Place your list high on the left for easy navigation.
Featured Article
The Featured Article module will display the featured article for the issue currently being viewed. So if you are looking at issue #1, the module will show the featured article for issue #1.
If you are not viewing a magazine page, the module will display the featured article of the default issue of the default magazine.
Issues
The Issues module displays all of the issues for the magazine currently being viewed.
Use the issues module to give your readers access to previously published issues of this magazine. If you're using the Issues Feature module to create sections and home pages on your site, you can also use this module to link to different sections of your site,
Tip: If you want to show only previous issues, unpublish all future issues. If you do not wish to show the default issue, select "No" on the drop down menu next to "Don't display default issue."
Future Issue
The Future Issue module displays the titles of articles to be published in future issues and gives your visitors an idea of what's coming up next. If you don't have a next issue available, the module will show "No articles available."
Tip: Use the future issue module to give your readers a sneak peak of what's coming next and get them coming back for more!
Current articles
The Current Article module displays all the articles in the default issue of the magazine currently being viewed. Place this module in a strategic location on your site to give your visitors easy access to your articles.
Authors
The Author List module displays a list of your authors. Authors are all the members who have publishing rights on your site. Each author name on the list links to a profile that includes the writer's name, photo, full bio, link to the author's website and email.
Groups on the list include: authors, editors, publishers, managers, administrators and super administrator.
Tip: Use this module to allow your visitors to see the contributors to your site and learn more about them.
Magazine Menu Module
This module can replace the "magazines" and "issues" modules. The advantage of this module is that it creates a menu module with all your magazines, issues or both magazines and issues. Because each of the magazines and issues can have its own menu item, you can assign different modules to each issues or magazines, something that wasn't possible before.
On the module settings you can choose to either show only the magazines, only the modules or both. If you choose to show both then the issues of each magazine will be the sub-menus of the parent magazine.
You can also assign the class for the magazine menu items and the issues menu items. By default they are the Joomla standard "main level" and "sublevel." If you want to use this menu module on top, you may want to remove these classes.
