[jtrain] Homepage Improvement Suggestion

[Sandra97]

Just my opinion... When visiting the homepage, I think it should be nice to have a short intro text to present the goal of Joomla! Training. It's a bit harsh to just put the videos and not to "talk" to the users.

[mikeveeckmans]

Agreed. @stevejburge : can we add such text to the component or do we have to do it with a custom module ?

[stevejburge]

Sure, we could add a module position. Where do you want the text to be?

[mikeveeckmans]

Above the first banner ?

[stevejburge]

Ok, so over the top of the OSTraining banner?

Does the Community template itself have a module position there?

[mikeveeckmans]

@Joomv do we have a position there ?

[mbabker]

Should just be able to use the banner position.

[Sandra97]

With org templat,e we are supposed to have the banner position

[mbabker]

There's also position-3 which is before the component output and message container in the same Bootstrap span as the main component section.

[mikeveeckmans]

@mbabker & @Sandra97 : Thank you for the feedback. @stevejburge : no need to add it to the component then.

[mikeveeckmans]

Module placed, copywriting still to do Used position-3 as you suggested @mbabker , the banner position pushed down the quicklinks etc

[Joomv]

Ok if we can kill the revive ad within the component (this will be easier and better to place within module positions on the site) and also change the heading from Joomla.org Training to Available Classes. I think we'll have nailed it.

[mikeveeckmans]

@stevejburge could you have a look at the suggestion @Joomv made? Thank you!

[stevejburge]

Sure thing. We have a heavy cache on the extension, but when it resets, that should be updated.

[mikeveeckmans]

hi @stevejburge , how heavy is that cache ? The ads are still showing.

[stevejburge]

@mikeveeckmans Sorry, I was referring to "Available classes" text.

I do still see a second ad box ... for Acquia

[mikeveeckmans]

@stevejburge yes, me too ;-) But i believe this ad box is pushed by your code... could you delete that code ? thank you.

[stevejburge]

Sure, we can do that today. We'll remove the Adsense

[jeckodevelopment]

It's strange to see Drupal banners on the Joomla! tranining portal. :P

[mikeveeckmans]

double banner has been removed by @stevejburge , thank you.

[mikeveeckmans]

@Joomv could you integrate side banner?

[Sandra97]

The intro text has been added, the ad box has been removed and a side banner added (currently JWC). So I'm closing this issue. Re-open if needed.
