Missing something basic..

I guess I'm missing something basic, because I get no display at all on any page, either directly or through the modules. Details:

- Joomla 1.5, PHP 5+
- have installed all the modules, enabled
- have uploaded a dozen mp3 files, all enabled and published; path set relative to Joomla root
- I'm still working locally on my site, using MAMP; will be uploaded later this week; I realize it will be easier to assess my issues when I can send you a link to the site.

Questions:

1) I only see a "sermonArchive" module and the "Latest Sermons" module; is there another one I'm missing?

2) How/where does one assign SS to an article or a page?

3) I'm using pages-and-items ( www.pages-and-items.com/ ). Any known conflicts?

Thanks; happy new year,
Tom

Working locally on a WAMP/XAMP system may produce unintended sideeffects. It should work, but nobody knows

1) The modules are completely optional. SermonSpeaker works without them at all. There would be also a SermonCast module and a RelatedSermons you could use.

2) You can't assign a sermon to an article or page. SermonSpeaker will produce it's own pages. You have to create a menu entry for the view you want to have (like "Sermons List").

3) I don't know Pages and Items. But you could disable all non-Joomla plugins and see if it changes anything.

Perfect...thank you! Have it working now locally; I'll keep tweaking it and let you know if I have any issues when I have the site up.

Okay! Got the site live and now I can ask a couple more questions that I can't seem to find in to documentation or the forums. I can find my way around the PHP files, though, so if you can direct me to the right places, I can probably solve my issues.

Here's the page:
www.stjohnsboulder.org/index.php/worship/audio

Questions:
1) Can I change the generated title? Since we'd like to include service audio and music, we'd like to title the page something other that "Sermons". Possible?

2) Can we change the items under the "Speaker" column to NOT be links, just text?

3) I can't seem to find where to remove the "JGLOBAL_DISPLAY_NUM" line at the bottom.

We'll probably get a little more ambitious and break things out by speaker and series later, but for right now, we'd like t start with something like this.

Thanks, Tom

1) Every string which SermonSpeaker generates can be changed in the language files: www.sermonspeaker.net/faq/4-how-do-i-cha...enter-word-here.html

2) You'll have to edit the code for this. The code is in the file /components/com_sermonspeaker/helpers/sermonspeaker.php. The function looks like this:
The returned $html is what will be displayed in the speaker column. So you could just delete everything in the function (or comment out) and just return $name instead.

3) Update your Joomla and/or language file. "JGLOBAL_DISPLAY_NUM" comes from the Joomla pagination and uses the general language file. So either of it is outdated.

Thanks for the quick and very helpful replies, Thomas!

Keep up the great work.
