1. A couple of frontpage news items would lead to an ordinary article. However, I would like to use the feature area on the frontpage in order to write a couple of words about the new magazine issue, maybe accompanied by an image, and then link to the current issue. Could I do these by using the "Read more", using an external link? Or any other method?
Yes, you can include a module (or a featured article) on your iJoomla News Portal layout.
2. The news portal would also have a section area as usual. One of these sections needs to be called "Magazine" that also links directly to the current magazine issue. Can this be done?
Same with this. Remember that you can include custom modules on your front page layout. There you can use the Magazine module.

3. I have bought the magazine component for a domain which never went online and even doesn't exist anymore. Could I change the domain in order to use the magazine?
Please fill this form:

Here you can find languages for our extensions:

Yes, we will publish it tonight. Anyway, send me an email and I will attach the new manual for the J! 1.5 version.

6. Any hints when the 1.5 news portal will be available?
Next week probably.

Best regards,
