How can I use a Module for more than one Website

Post by uksaeed » Sun Mar 31, 2013 7:49 pm

Hi
I've created a custom module for Joomla 2.5, and I'd like to use this module for a few sites, but I don't have any experience at this area.

Could you please give a direction to sort out this problem.

Regards,
Saeid

Here is some documentation on creating a module.

Go to Administrator > Extensions > Template Manager > Options > Global Configuration for Templates > Preview Module Positions set Enabled.

View all modules positions by adding ?tp=1 to the end of your URL such as http://example.com/index.php?tp=1.

If you need to add more position then you should work on index.php & xml file in your template folder.

cant you just zip the files from the current website, correct the xml file if its not set properly and install like any other module on your other sites?

You can not do that, becuse all codes for position are in index.php of your template.

see below example:
file > templateDetails.xml
......
<positions>
<position>position-1</position>
<position>position-2</position>
<position>position-6</position>
<position>position-7</position>
<position>position-14</position>
</positions>
....

NOW see the index.php:
...............
<?php if($this->countModules('position-2')) : ?>
<div id="pathway" >
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="position-2" />
<div class="clr"></div>
</div>

..............

After changing the templateDetails.xml
you need to change the index.php in your template folder.
and if you use any class or id you have to chnage or add new code in css file also. :)

@jommfoss, I am not sure if I understand clearly, as per uksaeed, he has created a custom module and wants to use that module in other sites too. If that is the case then do you need to edit the template index file to install a new module?

Hey Subrat, i think you are right :)
I follow the last post & did not mention the first question :)
as uksaeed said, should zip all files & install it by backend. If the module codes/files are fine then the module will work properly.
