title: Joomla main content does not show up
body: <p>In the last few days I have set up a Website using joomla. ATM I am linking menus, articles and modules.
  In the template, the content position is marked using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;jdoc:include type="component" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is where articles should be rendered.
  When klicking a menu item type:single article, there is no content rendered in the component area on the main site.
  the only possibility to show articles in the "component" position is using a menu type:featured articles.<br>
  how can I get content shown at the component position without using featured articles?<br>
  <br>
  does anyone know this problem?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: this is the content of index.php:
  here is the whole content of the index.php:</p>
