Hello there,
Site in discussion is here http://7vorot.finius.ru/
On the frontpage we have NSP module with all the settings from TechNews template. Facing one problem though - we need this module to point to certain menu item or category blog, not an article. I've tried to set Data source - Source of articles - Joomla Categories - still on click it will take me to the article, not a category. For instance, right now we have tent picture in upper right corner there. If I click in it, it will go straight to that article, but I need it to come to all kinds of tents we sell, proper link is this: http://7vorot2finish/markizy2
Is it possible to set this module to link to certain menu items? Or any other way direct it to the category blog the article is from, not the article itself?

I don't think NSP can do that. Its true - you can set data source to a category but it is just a source - each element from a category is considered as an article and points to such.

Not sure if I should post it here, but the issue I am having with the GRID now is that NSP would scale an image when going to mobile devices. The grid doesn't. As the result we getting this:

https://yadi.sk/i/AnghlLU3kJiy5 - no way to tell what it was. If the picure would scale - to the size of the grid element, it would be much better. AFAIU, I can't tell the grid to take differrent pictures in different screen sizes, and if I will resize the picture in Photoshop to look good on small screens it will look aweful on the big screen. So, that's the dillema... Any ideas how could we fix it or find a workaround?
