[Web4lib] Joomla Help Please

[Malakia Oglesby]

Thanks to all who replied to my questions.

Charlie: I searched through several files trying to find out where I might
include a heading but couldn't find the spot that had "There are no
items..."  But thanks for the help anyway.

Adri: I didn't see anything on joomlainlibrary.com site about what I wanted
to do but I did find other useful information.  Thanks for the link.

Sharon:  Thanks for the complement but I can't take the credit.  We bought
the template from rockettheme.com .  It still isn't exactly what we wanted
but I'm going to use it until I can wrap my brains around Joomla, PHP and
the whole templating process. I'm still a newbie.

Mary Beth:  Thanks for the reply.  --- "It looks like you were trying to
remove the section that shows there by deleting the default content that
ships with Joomla and by getting rid of the title?" --- That's exactly what
I'm trying to do, but I can't find anywhere in any of the files where the
"there are no items to display" output is set.  I may just have to settle
for putting up a small message there in the form of a static page. I really
would like to be able to but a title there though.  I'm still working on it.
Haven't given up yet.

I'll definitely let everyone know how it goes and whether or not I had any
problems with JoomlaPack and the transition.

Thanks again everyone!

Hi Malakia,
Has anyone responded to you yet on this?

I administer a couple of Joomla intranet sites for the
Colorado State Library.  I am by no means an expert,
but would be happy to correspond with you on this.

It looks like you might have "Latest News" module or
similar (maybe the newsflash?) set to show up on the
front page, but you have no content items in that
category.  You can go to the module manager and
unpublish it to remove it from the front page.  Or,
you can change the title of whatever category/module
that is to say what you want (so long as you know how
to populate that category with the job ads).  It looks
like you were trying to remove the section that shows
there by deleting the default content that ships with
Joomla and by getting rid of the title?  Let me know
if I'm not making sense!  

I have been looking for a backup module and will be
curious to know if you use this one, how you like it. 
I may try a couple possibilities in the next few days,
and will email you if I have anything to report.
