Article Template

SP Page Builder 1 week ago

Hello! I want to create a template for Joomla articles. To do this, I followed the documentation here: https://www.joomshaper.com/documentation/sp-page-builder/creating-an-article-index-page https://www.joomshaper.com/documentation/sp-page-builder/create-a-dynamic-article-details-page On the "Article Index Page," I created a link to the "Article Detail Page." However, when I click the button to view the full article, the content displays using the shaper_helix3 style. I feel like I’ve missed something, but I can't figure out what it is.

Hi Art,

Thanks for reaching out.

What you're seeing usually means the link on your Article Index Page is sending visitors to Joomla's default single-article view rather than to your Article Detail Page. That happens when the link uses the "Article Link" field source (or Joomla's standard Read More), because Joomla then routes the request through its own com_content view, which your site template (shaper_helix3) renders — bypassing the detail page you built.

To connect the two pages properly:

  1. Open your Article Index Page in SP Page Builder.
  2. Select the addon you're using as the link — for example the Dynamic Text addon with Title as the Field Source, or your Read More button.
  3. In the addon's General Settings, scroll down to the Link section.
  4. Switch to the Page tab and select your Article Detail Page from the list.
  5. Save & Close, then clear your Joomla cache and recheck the front end.

A few things worth confirming as well:

  • The detail page was created through Pages → + Add → New Article Page → Detail, not as a regular page.
  • You're running the latest SP Page Builder Pro version.
  • There's no menu item of type Articles → Single Article or Category Blog pointing at the same articles — that Itemid can take priority and force the default layout, along with its own assigned template style.

If the issue persists after this, please share your site URL and temporary Super User credentials in the Hidden Content field below and we'll check the configuration for you.

Best regards

Hi Art,

Sorry for the delayed response.

Would you please let me know which one is the article index page you are reffering to? And may I take an Akeeba backup of your site to check on my local?

Best regards,

I am linking from the Article Index Page to the Article Detail Page. Yes, you can create a copy of the site.
