Articles Add-On And Joomla Articles
SPD
Hi, I was thinking of using the Articles Add-on just to display two articles on my home page but had a question about the following from the add-on documentation.
Article Addon cannot display content from SPPB mode, you have to add INTRO text in tab "JOOMLA EDITOR".
Does this mean that if I want to have intro text in Articles Add-On on my home page, I can't use the SP Page Builder at all for those articles? If not, can you recommend another method of displaying a couple of article 'snippets' on my home page, based on categories and/or tags, that could include intro text but allow me to use SP Page Builder? As always, thanks for your help.

Accepted AnswerHi SPD,
Yes, you still can but in Article edition:
- In "Joomla Editor" (1st tab) insert intro text + click Read more under it (screenshot below)
- In "SP Page Builder" (2nd tab) insert content using Rows and Addons etc.
Then using News module (joomla default) or Article addon (SPPB) - you should be able to display intro text. And if somebody click read more link then he/she would see whole article content with rows, columns and addons etc.
screenshot for point 1

Accepted AnswerOnce again, you da man! I did try that before but it didn't work but I did the SP PB stuff 1st, worked the other way. I am missing the more text, turned it on whereever I found it and added the actual text but I'll take this as a complete win fer sure!
One final ask... is there anyway to control the Header style (H1-6) used in the Article Add-on. It is sort as if its dictating what the other header styles would be on the page, so would be nice if i could control it. If not, no worries, still flag you as Answered Cheers
