Hi Edward,

I believe there is a showcase option in the grid menu item itself(http://take.ms/rKF0O). This showcase will only appear in the grid menu item and not on post entry pages.

Alternatively, you can also try using this method(http://take.ms/vB9wn). This means you have to create a frontpage menu item and the showcase module will only appear on the grid menu item.

Thanks Raymond. I wanted to use the module showcase, just looks better for what I need.

Not sure what your 2nd option is?

Hey Edward,

The 2nd option is basically creating a different menu item(frontpage) so that post entry url(eg: .../blog/new-site-launch) will use this menu item's alias.

When this happens, whatever module that is assigned on the grid menu item will not appear in post entry pages, since they are now under a different menu item(frontpage).

I've created an alias to the menu, but it shows up the same page. Can't see how I can make 2 different frontpages display from the same menu?

Hey there,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

I've help you created a hidden menu item for Easyblog - frontpage layout and this menu alias i set it to blogs, so all the existing post URL will point to this hidden menu alias e.g. site.com/blogs/blogTitle

And you have to plan again which is the best menu alias name for cater these both menu.

Thanks Arlex, but unfortunately that created a new set of URL's. I think I'll just need to settle for an alternate layout.

You're welcome, keep us update if you need any assistance on this.

When I use the grid layout with showcase enabled, the grid display disappears when I select "Showcase Post Type = Latest", is that supposed to happen?

Since you are changing something on your frontend, you have to temporary turn off your site cache like :

- Joomla global configuration cache system
- System - page cache plugin
- JCH - optimise plugin
- After turn off all these, you have to clear the cache from your site backend

If not, it will not get any effect when you changing the setting from backend, because your page HTML content already get cached on the site.

Now you can see your showcase in the Grid layout now, since your current site only 3 blog post, so it doesn't show other post in the grid layout because that showcase already show all the 3 post.

For now, i already help you re-enabled back those cache setting what i described at above.
