Single Article

Asked by Shonn Piersol 4 years ago Last activity 2 years ago

Hi i just bought the upgrade to pro to have access to joomla article. I installed pro (it messed up my mobile template that was designed around the free version) but as i sort that out.... I do not see how to display a single article.

I see categories of articles but not solo. Im sure im overlooking it. Please advise single article display ?

Hello Shonn Piersol

Sorry, there is no default option in SP Page Builder to show single article. You can show it by assigning the article to a menu item.

Best regards

You might want to clarify your description. The only reason I paid to upgrade to pro was because it said it had the add-on for articles. I can think of many reasons why I would want to have your layout and then add an existing article for the content. So I saw an option to upgrade to add articles and it did not do that at all. To be clear, what you add is category list or blogs, but not articles

Shonn Piersol Asked this

your first answer was correct.what i asked for is not currently possible. it would be nice to have a single full display of an article in the sp pagebuilder insert options.

Yes, you are right.

I am in the same situation as Shonn Piersol. I thought upgrade to PRO will give us the posibility of combine SPPB with existing articles. I our organization, different people can edit articles about their own subject and responsibility. They know how to do it, an I don't think is a good idea to force them to deal with Page Builder. Too complicate for non IT people.
I, as webmaster, wanted to use more than one article in a page on PB. But specific articles, not necesarily from a category or a tag. And be able to display some other gadgets in beween them.
I thought that display an specific article in Page Builder would be a basic add-on, but not. It does not exist.

Would it be too much to ask the joomshaper development team to consider this option for future updates?
Thank you very much...

Hello Ana García Laso

Thanks for your feedback on this. I think taking the article data from the database, we can do something. Let's see what the development team can do about it.
