There is no css file. The values are stored from within the module window.

Hello,

I've been playing with this module. Great functionality!

I noticed this module makes quite a few sql queries. Enabling the module (V 2.0 beta) adds another 22 queries to my home page. I know the number of queries isn't always the best indicator of performance but 22 queries seems a bit steep, especially since I may want to use several instances of this module on the same page.

Does anyone know how this module compares performance wise with other content retrieval modules?

Thanks for this very functional module!

Is there anyway to get the module to display the SEF URls more friendly...mine display like this currently:

Code:

http://www.mysite.com/component/flexicontent/item/209

I would like it to display the article title in there like this:

Code:

http://www.mysite.com/component/flexicontent/item/209/article-title-here

Is there anyway to do this?

Thanks

Thanks for the help, that worked! By the way, the URL still displays the word "Flexicontent" like this:

Code:

http://www.mysite.com/component/flexicontent/item/207-title-of-article-goes-here

Is there no way to get rid of the /component/flexicontent/ part of the url? I don't mind the "/item" part of the URL.

Also, here are the instructions on how to do this so people do not have to go searching (thanks again for the help!)...

Code:

INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Open \modules\mod_aidanews\tmpl\default.php

2) Find:

$link = JRoute::_(FlexicontentHelperRoute::getItemRoute($row->id, $row->catid, $row->sectionid));

3) Replace with:

$link = JRoute::_(FlexicontentHelperRoute::getItemRoute($row->id."-".$row->alias, $row->catid, $row->sectionid));

This has probably been asked before: but do you know if you can display the articles custom TAGS? You know, for instance, the keyword tags assigned to that article? So, if my article is about dogs and my keyword tags are "dogs, animals, pets" is there a way to display those with this module?
