Unfortunately I couldnt do it from the back as I get the message

• Cannot unpublish default home
• No rows selected

Another thing I was experimenting with the search module and notice the result only displays in a component. Now say for example I have one page with just a compnent and a div module on the left. from the search result it displays on the component but the div module on the left remains which is kind of not what I wanted as I would prefer to have just only the search reult being displayed .?

reason I am asking as I plan to create a site with different layout on soem pages but I want the search result to come in one format from which ever page I access the search.

I hope I dont sound to confusing. Sorry

And thanks for the replies I really appreciate it.

If your index/home page menu item is set as Front Page Blog Layout, then you probably can't do it. I never used the Front Page Blog Layout... I just make of every page an Article Layout.

This can't be done through the back-end. You'll have to edit manually one of the core files of mod_search to change the path to a special designed template page where you want to output the results. But I never done it myself, so this is the only pointer I can give you. Just look for the code that redirects the page after clicking on 'search'.

No worries I appreciate all the replies you have given. I managed to get the search thing fixed by following this

http://www.johncrumpton.com/joomla-s...page-template/

By the way I am using the JCE Editor for my content editing its not bad. And for a horizontal menu I am using the swMenu free ver. It renders the codes in tables though (yuck).

Also I downloaded Jummi I have no idea how this works still exploring into it.

I am trying to achieve effect.

I can easily do this in Dreamweaver but in joomla I am still figuring it out. I know there are some module plug in taht does this but I am looking for a article Plug in that can do this.

cheers

If I really like a module or plugin, but the output is tables or some other messy code, then I'll re-write it to semantic code. If not then I'll look for somethin' else.

I assume you mean that hover effect? It's done with jQuery and should be done outside Jooma!, so you'll edit the HTML from your template (index.php) for these kind of things. Here's the snippet that I took from that page.

$j(".projects li a").hover(function(){
    $j(this).find("img").stop().animate({opacity:0.4}, "normal")},
function(){
    $j(this).find("img").stop().animate({opacity:1}, "normal")
});

If you're planning to use jQuery you'll need this plugin - http://extensions.joomla.org/extensi...s/scripts/7230 - otherwise you will have conflicts with mootools (the javascripf core framework of Joomla).

Never heard of it or tried it before but if you say it is easier i will take your word. By the way thanks for the nice update.



Cheers!
