Hi,

If you created "blog" using a Pages, you have a big problem, becuase there is NO blog view for page(s) category. Yes, we informed about that in SPPB documenation > Category section.


But if you used Articles with SPPB Integration enabled there is chance for success, but you have to:

  1. Add intro text using "Joomla Editor" tab (not SPPB tab) - screenshot #1
  2. Add image using "Blog Media" Tab, Helix Ultimate - screenshot #2
  3. Then create a Menu item "Category Blog" view and (1 & 2) will be displayed.

Hi Paul, thank you so much for that hint, i have allready placed my sp pages into a plain joomla article shown in your description - and it works, thoug is feels a little complicated but if thats the only way to come to a solution well thats it i guess.

May I ask you a further question - how can I limit the amount of previewtext im my 3 colum blog preview. At the moment the whole text of all articles is shown there and I cant find a read more addon in the toolbox of sp pagebuilder do devide the content in two parts.

kind regards Jo here is a link to my project, on a testserver http://iq663nap.at.edis.global/libratus/index.php/abo-testen

Text addon does not have typical Read More as Articles has - but it has similar option "Content Truncation" - that allows you to hide part of text with "Show more" link.
