Magazine Modules & Mambot

Featured article

Choose any of the articles in any of the editions and make it your featured article. You can use the article's default image or choose any other image in the stories folder to create your cover story.

Back Issues

Displays all of your back issues for a rich, content-filled site. We recommend that you un-publish future editions to keep your visitors coming back for more.

Future edition

Reveal the titles of articles to be published in future edition and give your visitors an idea of what's coming up next.

Current articles

Displays all the articles in the current edition. Place this module in a strategic location on your site and give your visitors easy access to your articles.

The iJoomla mambot allows you to add quotes to your magazine articles.  
Adding quotes can be a bit time consuming but we think it's worth the effort. It allows your users to understand the content of the article with just a glance. That encourages reading and increases stickiness.

 You must install the mambot if you want the quotes feature to work!

Modules

iJoomla Magazine has seven unique modules that make it easy for you to organize your magazine and make it an even better read for your users. Like other Joomla modules, you can display your modules on every available position of your template. Use the modules for navigation and as teasers for different sections of your magazine.

The Magazines module displays a list of all the published magazines and can be used to allow your visitors to navigate between your magazines.

Tip: Place your list high on the left for easy navigation.

The Featured Article module will display the featured article for the issue currently being viewed. If you are looking at issue #1, the module will show the featured article for issue #1; if you’re looking at issue #3, it will show the featured article chosen for issue #3 and so on.

If you are viewing a page that is not a magazine page, this module will display the featured article of the default issue of the default magazine, unless you specify an article on the Default Article ID field, of this module’s backend.

The Issues module displays all of the issues for the magazine currently in view. For example, if you are looking at magazine #1, the module will show the issues for magazine #1.

Use the issues module to give your readers access to published issues of this magazine. If you’re using the issues module to create sections and home pages, you can also use the module to link to different sections of your site.

This module can replace the “magazines” and “issues” modules. The advantage of this module is that it creates a menu module with all your magazines, issues or both magazines and issues. Because each of the magazines and issues can have its own menu item, you can assign different modules to each issues or magazines.

On the module settings you can choose to either show only the magazines, only the modules or both. If you choose to show both then the issues of each magazine will be the sub menus of parent magazine.

You can also choose to display the magazines/issues as a drop down menu, instead of a list. Just select  Drop Down Menu on the Display Method field.

You can assign the class for the magazine menu items and the issues menu items. By default they are “mainlevel” and “sublevel” which is how it is on Joomla. If you want to use this menu module on top, you may want to remove these classes.
