Awaiting an answer SP Page Builder

News item opened on an SP Page Builder page

Asked by AJCS 10 months ago Last activity 10 months ago

Hello
Is it possible to have a page built with SP Page Builder Pro, and have a news item appear on the same page when a user clicks on it?

Usually, a news menu is created, and when a news item is opened, it appears on a blog-style news page.

I would like, if possible, for the news menu to be linked to a SP Page Builder page, not a blog-style page, and for the news item I'm viewing to appear in a specific section.

Currently, I have a news carousel, and I want it to appear on this same page when I open a news item.

I hope I've explained myself clearly.

Regards

Hi there!

Thanks for reaching out. I hope I understood you correctly.

Did you mean article when you said news item? If yes, please note that there is no default option in SP Page Builder to create a Joomla category blog layout.

However, since you're already using a carousel, you can use the Articles addon in SP Page Builder to create a custom page that displays your desired articles. The article detail view will still open on its own separate page, as usual.

Best regards,

With current version is not possible, if I understood well.

But I you could share example website that has it, it will be easier to see your vision/goal.

Hello, sorry for not replying sooner.

Since we're on this thread, is it possible to do what we wanted before using the Feature Box component? When the button is clicked, we'd like to display the article in a popup... so we don't have to create a new page to show the information. However, in this SP Page Builder Pro component, I don't see the option to open the link as a popup.

How was Paul Frankowski's solution implemented?

Thanks

Probably you have to hire somebody who will create you custom addon. It will be much faster and you can include all your wishes/requests. I guess, you need that for commercial project, so your client will pay extra.

Or find advanced NEWS extension on JED that may have it.
