HI,

when I try to extract quickstart zip file I got massage that there is a file with the same name and do I wish to replace it with new one? There is more than one file and all if them are from k2 component (administrator -> components -> com_k2). How to properly extract quickstart or should I just replace those files when winrar ask me to?

Thank's.

Yes just choose "yes" to override the files.

Thank you it is installed OK.

Now there is one more thing. I have published one Welcome page/article and I can't disable Home title from article. I want to show only article title (Welcome) but no category or anything else.

See the picture please.

Home page is setup as Frontpage articles > Showing All categories with number specified in Home Menu item settings. You need to change it a single article type.

1. In Joomla Admin > Main Menu > Home Item. Now you are in "Home" menu item settings.
2. Menu Item Type > click on select you will get a pop-up box.
3. In Pop-up box choose Articles > Single Article. Pop-up will now close.
4. Look on right hand side Required Settings > Select Article > Click on Select/Change to select your welcome article.

See you around...

You need to setup your menu items properly.

If you have for an example following joomla categories or k2 categories.

News/
News/Sport News
News/World News
News/Racing News

Then if you create a menu item to "News" category then all your modules will work.
If you create a Menu item only to Sport News then you have modules getting its data from World News then any links on modules will not work. So you have to create a menu item for those categories as well. Menu item can be hidden in different menu other then "Main Menu" if you don't want it showing on frontpage.

Thank's Norman but maybe I didn't explain very well. I have problem with gk news component or template setup.
When I switched to default joomla template I can see articles and READ MORE link is working fine, but when I switched back to Finance template I can see articles (intro) on front page, shown by gk news module and when click on read more link nothing is happening, just reloaded home page with URL of clicked article!?

Hope this is more clear about problem, sorry for my English.

Readmore link in news show pro is different then read more link in standard joomla template. They are not the same. Please try what I've suggested.

For test purpose create a new menu item and link it to the category where your module is getting its data from.
