Insert Text ABOVE AlphaContent??

Insert Text ABOVE AlphaContent?? 3 Years, 9 Months ago Karma: 0
I'm using (and loving) AlphaContent for a member contributed library of articles. It's working perfectly, but there is one thing I very much need and can't figure out.

Is there a way to insert text above the component to explain what it is? When visitors come to this section of my site they don't really know what it's all about, and a paragraph explaining the premise is very much needed.

www.thumdar.com/joomla/index.php?option=...t&Itemid=143

The component RSform has a mambot that can be used to insert a form into a content item, but that's not a whole component. Anything like this available? If there is just some way to insert the component into a content item (below where I would write some text), that would be ideal.

Any thoughts would be most appreciated.

I also need this. It would be great if an Intro box text field was added to the admin.

Ideally for each section and category.

thank you

Unfortunately no solution yet.

The thing is, many registered website members need to have their hands held when they want to use a section like a gallery. When my members visit the gallery they don't see how to create their own and therefore I need some immediate text to say "Read This To Create Your Own Gallery".

Looks like there's plenty of us out here who need this functionality.

I was thinking about using the above module position, but I don't know how to do that. Can you explain how you will do it?

Thumdar,

In joomla 1.x

To create a module:

1. Go to Joomla Main Menu >Modules>Site Modules

2. Choose New from Module Menu (top right on page), a new Site Module screen will appear

3. Name your new module

4. Choose the Position - this is the name of the Position (in your template) that you want to place the module in (look for the name of the Position directly above where your alphaContent displays)(to find your Position names and locations do this: in Joomla Main Menu go to Site>Preview>Inline with Positions)

5. Complete the rest of the configuration options. If you don't know what they do, just leave the defaults

6. Enter the information that you want to display above your alphaContent into the Custom Output field (down at the bottom of the page)

7. In the Pages / Items dialogue, choose the pages / items that you want the module to appear on

Remember to Save and Publish the module.. and that should do it.
