There are many reasons you may want to load a module in an article. Joomla 1.5 has a cool little feature that allows you to change the name of the module position to whatever you like. This enables you to create a new position that iwould not be used in any template. It also has a built in plugin called Content - Load Module that is the magic behind this working.
Below you will find a step by step tutorial on this procedure.
-
Locate the module you would like to insert in an article.
-
Select the radio button to the left of the module and go to the top of the page and click Copy
-
A copy of the module will be created directly above or below the original.
-
Double click on the module name and open the module.
-
Under Details you will see Position:
-
Change the position to a unique name.
-
Remember this name because you will be inserting this in the article.
-
Open the article you wish to place the module in.
-
Whereever you want the module to be positioned type:
-
{ loadposition the_name_you_used_in_6 } (You must remove the space betewwn the first bracket and the L and at the end remove the space between the 6 and the bracket)
-
Make sure you remove the quotes. The quotes are so the code shows up here.
-
Check your site and the module should be loaded in the article.
Make sure the Content - Load Module plugin is enabled in the plugin section.
