Hi Frances, despite everything I’ve written I will not completly give up working with Joomla, nor do I think that J! is a bad CMS – I think it’s brilliant for non-programmers who quickly want to set up and administer their own dynamic website. But it lacks a lot of the flexibility that I need for my clients, plus I find it lacking from a developers point of view.

I noticed and liked the style of your site as soon as it opened, thank you for the content item module. With reference to your blog – i give up on jooomla – I am making my first joomla site and it is driving me mad – seems counter intuitive – i like to move things around til they look good. Any way – it is the only way I can make a dynamic website so i will continue with the struggle. thanks again frances

Hi,

it depends a little on which template is set in the module setting, but generally you can try to add a rule to your stylesheet:

.mod_placehere .contentheading {
font-size:200%;
/* etc */
}

to have styles applied to headings in the module (if you use the tableless beez template in the module settings you get proper headlines in any case).

Your module is great, I only have one question I hope you can help me: when I publish an article (using joomla 1.5) inside your module, the article’s title gets the same font style of the article’s body itself. Is any way to have the title formattd differently?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Max is right, it was totally confusing and difficult to find the download. Maybe you should just have a section called “Download” with links to the latest versions, and no comments. It was especially confusing because the module is still named “Content Item Module” in the Joomla Extensions Directory, but the name is now changed to “Place Here”

Well, the last 90 000 or so people did find it…. look on the left where it says “Downloads” and click “Module for 1.5″.

You’re right about the mishmash, though, but at the moment I have far too much paid work to twiddle around with my own website. The redesign will have to wait just a little longer.

Hi Michael,

there is a setting “Show intro text only” which already should do what you want (but this is set to yes by default, so it looks like it’s not working for you?). I also just testing a new version of the module with a few additional parameters, including a “trim text” parameter that will be ready for download by monday.

Hi,

This is a wonderful module only is there any possibility to offering a trim intro text or show only a custom number of letters from the first row and then show the read more. I am using the beez template and I cannot figure out how I get it to only show the intro text.

Thanks

I just stumbled on your blog while planning a motorbike tour across Germany to Prague in the summer ahead. I just like the style of it and your interests (the masthead is fine too). I’ve visited Berlin twice once in 1984 and once last summer. Fantastic place. ACtually, you may hate this but I just scanned a photo of my mother (born in Herne near Essen and who is 82 now and living in England) in her Hitler youth uniform, partially hidden, she says, in a nice friendly cardigan. If you’re interested I could email it to you. She says ‘all we ever did was embroidery’. Maybe a typical bit of German failure of memory – anyway, I’m not condemning.

see you, Michael
