Yes, just create an issue for each and assign the layout you want for each issue. _________________ Merav

Can Each Issue Be Called Seperately FROM a MAIN MENU navigation
mainmenu > new menu > component > magazine > HOME
mainmenu > new menu > component > magazine > ABOUT US
mainmenu > new menu > component > magazine > SERVICES
I was not able to do it like this...The only way I could do this was to edit mySQL database menu table.
Is there an easier way? |

I have the same question as the luckyy1...
Need to have a link from a 'mainmenu' module to a specific magazine, or issue, etc. (not using magazine or issue, etc modules)
you can do a link to something like index.php?option=com_magazine&func=show_magazine&id=3&I temid=31, but there are obviously inherent disadvantages to doing it this way. |

There is no way to link to a specific issue. The only way is to link to URL. _________________ Merav

Does this suggestion ffrom Tfracon help?
| Tfracon wrote: | I've a similar problem. In my case I solve that hacking the phpmyadmin.
1- In your menu,create the links of each magazine using url-link.
2- Go to phpmyadmin.
3- Find jos_menu and click to browse.
4- Find your menu and magazines (observe menutype and name field). Remember that phpmyadmin sometimes show multiple pages in jos_menu.
5- Choose one of the magazines link and click edit.
6- In the field 'type' you should find: 'url'. Change it to 'components' and save.
7- Now joomla recognize each menu item as a component.
Good luck.
Tfracon. |

Hi,
Please contact your hosting service and ask them how to access your phpmyadmin.
Also, I think that if you are a beginner, you should try to get a handle of the simple things first and then when you get better, try to do the more complicated stuff. Just my 2 cents, it could be overwhelming to start with the advance stuff.  _________________ Merav
