Hi,

In the standard blog output, one can have a full article, a bunch of intros, and some links, in that order.
These three sections are all defined via templates/mytemplate/html/com_content/category/blog.php (overriding default).

What I want to do, is have a module appear between the full article and the intros, but so far the only way to include a module I've seen, is with . This just doesn't work when I use it inside blog.php.

Is there any way I can add modules within a component?

(in 1.0 I just added the mosLoadModules lines in content.php or content.html.php, and they worked fine).

use the include() function

Code:
include($mosConfig_absolute_path."/modules/mod_MODULENAME/mod_MODULENAME.php");

Nope, that doesn't work.
Also, even if it would include the module, it would mean absolutely no control over which moduleposition is loaded.
The module I want in that spot, is one of many positions for 'mod_mainmenu', but I surely don't want all my menus loaded in that one spot...

Hi,

maybe this topic contains a few answers: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,208387.0.html
it's almost the size of a tutorial about adding a custom module to the Contacts component, but the procedures are basically the same.

code examples start here http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... #msg975582
Quote:
Your best friend to fiddle with Modules is JModuleHelper and two of its methods: getModules( $position ) and renderModule( $module )
Also discussed here: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,187652.0.html


Have fun,
CirTap

Hi CirTap,

I can't currently test it as I've had to drop the 1.5 version for the time being, but from your code examples and explanation I think it will be exactly what I needed. Good news for me, as it will likely enable me to port a current large highly customised 1.0 site over to 1.5 once it becomes the official Joomla version.

Thanks for this!  - bookmarked the thread :-)
