Доброта голубя - не добродетель. Голубь не добродетельнее волка. Добродетель начинается только тогда, когда начинается усилие
Лев Николаевич ТолстойПротив всего можно устоять, но не против доброты
Жан Жак Руссо
Пока люди любят, они прощают

Существуют два первоначала справедливости: никому не вредить и приносить пользу обществу

UPF Joomla Tutorials
The Frontpage
Part 1
Built in Front Page Options
The Front Page is unique in Joomla, you can make layout changes by going into the main menu and clicking on the “Home” entry.
NOTE: Do not delete the Home entry, or make another entry default. Keep it as the first item on the main menu.

Below are the settings fror Parameters – Basic section on the right.
- Leading: The Number of Articles to display as a leading article, this will use the full width of the content area on the front page
- Intro: Additional articles that come after the Leading article(s). These do not necessarily take the full width of the content area (width set by columns)
- Columns: This will set how many columns are used for the Intro Articles, ie determines width of intro articles.
- Links: Number of articles to display as links

As you can see below I have 1 Leading article, 2 intro articles in 2columns, and 2 linked articles.

Part 2
Updating the Frontpage
If you add an article and want it to be displayed on the Front Page, open your article in the editor and under the Front Page radio option, select “yes”. This can also be done on the article list in the article manager.
Once published on the Front Page the article will become the Leading Article and the previous articles on the Front Page will be moved down.

Use of the “Read More…” break
If the article is too long for the front page, go into the editor and select a breakpoint using the cursor and click on the “Read More..” button and save.
Now the Article stops at the “Read More..” break in the article. If the link is clicked, the user will be taken to the article page. NOTE: If you insert the break inside a table, the “Read More..” break (and page break) will interrupt the table and cause unexpected display errors.


Remove an Article on the Front Page
Just as you can add an article on the Front Page you can remove it the same way: Open your article in the editor and under the Front Page radio option, select “no”. The article will remain published on your site as long as the radio option for “published” remains “Yes”
Reordering the Front Page Articles
To reorder the articles on the Front Page go to “Content” -> “Front Page Manager”. Here you can reorder the articles
