This is new behavior.... for some reason mod_left disappears in category view, which is my front page. It shows everywhere else in the site, but on the front page.

 

Can someone shed light on this?

Please send a link to your front page, also more details on mod_left - is this a module set to go in the template left position

what template are you using?

christchurchhw.org

 

what's new is the addition of the front page in k2 category layout, and community builder....but even then, the page was working a few days ago.

 

a template from joomla bamboo, which has been running for well over a year.

Try creating a blank or mostly blank joomla article and setting it to front page. create a module com_k2_content, set its position to HomePage. Use a {loadposition FrontPage} in the blank joomla article to load the module in.

Also, check the joomlabamboo template for settings "content on front page" as some have settings about that

Not sure what you said... but when I scroll down to the bottom of the page, there is my left menu! At the bottom, below the column of article leads, not on the left. I run other JB templates, most of them with all the content in K2 - this is the outlier, with only the front page in K2. It is not specifically defined as a Joomla Bamboo 'front page.'

Menu returns to the left, but now i've lost the K2 styling I've worked out.... and the read more jump is broken (I'm getting several lines of error code (see below)

 

(one change to your instrux, use {loadposition HomePage])

 

Error on 'Read More' jump

Error loading Modules:MySQL server has gone away SQL=SELECT id, title, module, position, content, showtitle, control, params FROM jos_modules AS m LEFT JOIN jos_modules_menu AS mm ON mm.moduleid = m.id WHERE m.published = 1 AND m.access <= 0 AND m.client_id = 0 AND ( mm.menuid = 28 OR mm.menuid = 0 ) ORDER BY position, ordering
