Load Modules on MC Frontpage

Joomla 2.5

I tried to follow this tutorial to customize the MC front-page with no luck.

I'm not sure if I did it wrong or not. To test, I created a custom HTML module set to position sidebar-a . I then used the tag {loadposition sidebar-a} on the MC homepage and only the loadposition sidebar-a text showed up.

    is the "process content plugins" parameter set to YES on MC's configuration?
    is joomla's content plugin to load modules active on your plugin manager?

    hello!!

    yes, sorry. this bug has been solved.
    download the 1.6 package again...

    if you don't want to reinstall, there's only 1 file you need to replace, which is /views/artists/view.html.php (you can unzip the package and directly copy paste this file into your site)

    I have one small problem still. The module titles are not showing up when using the loadposition tag. Show Title is checked in the module manager.

    this has always been like this...

    the joomla plugin does not render the module title. it's a shame, but I can't do anything about it...

    you can put the title manually before rendering the module...

    I am trying to use HTML to style the text. However it is being stripped out when I save. According to...
    http://www.joomlamusicsolutions.com/en/support/how-to-customize-the-homepage.html

    I should be able to use HTML to add a heading style to the text. For instance...
    [h2]Featured Artists[/h2]

    FYI, since the forum strips out the HTML brackets even when using the code bbcode, I am using [h2] above.

    you can use any HTML.. just normal HTML.
    I'm thinkin that maybe some config option in J 1.6 (not 1.5, thats for sure) stripc html it not specified otherwise.

    I'm looking into it.

    Sorry to revive an old thread but has there been any update on this? I'm using 1.7 and the html is stripped out of the mcfrontpage. Is there a php file that I can edit for the frontpage? I can then add my code that way.

    Thanks!

    weird...
    well you can add your own html code on file /components/com_muscol/views/artists/tmpl/detailed.php

    however this shouldnt be the way to go... it's weird that html is being stripped from the params... :S
