Including a module within content, Joomla.

Joomla is a fantastic framework. It allows the user the flexibility to make use of and manipulate technologies which would otherwise take many months if not years to develop. The reason behind this is that it is open source.

Whilst using Joomla I have come across this nugget of information which allows greater adaptability whilst designing Joomla sites. Sometimes, Joomla extensions are only available as modules, this trick will enable you to use a module in a content position.

Step 1..

Navigate to the module menu and open the module that you would like to display. Click on the ‘position’ textbox and delete the text, now add in your position name, something like ‘mypos’ for example. Make it something memorable. Now save the module. You will now have created a new position name for your module.

Step 2..

Open the article that you would like to display the module in and paste this {loadposition mypos}. This is all you have to write, no other text is necessary. Need any help with this, please let me know.
