Putting a module in a menu Topic is solved

[mabarraclough]

I am using Cassiopeia and want to be able to put a module as a menu item. There is a great Joomlashack article for Joomla 3 for doing this with a search module, but trying to do it on Joomla 4 does not seem to wotk. Any pointers?

Do you mean this article: How to Display a Search Module in a Joomla Menu?

What happens when you try the same method in Joomla 4?

Yes - that is the article and I had that working in J3. However, with J4 all I seem to get is the separator and not the module.

The JoomlaShack article was published before Joomla 4 was released and there is only a Joomla 3 version of Shack Search. We cannot expect the methods used in the article to work in Joomla 4.

Just tested the tutorial in Joomla 4.3.3-dev using the free version of Modules Anywhere, updated last week, and the Smart Search module. Selected System Links - Separator as the Menu Item Type entered the following string as Title of the menu item, different from the article but consistent with Modules Anywhere:

Code: Select all

{module id="122"}

The following error message is displayed at the front end by Web Asset Manager at ROOT\libraries\src\WebAsset\WebAssetManager.php:259

0 WebAssetManager is locked, you came late

Put your module in an article, then create a new menu item for single article.

get this https://extensions.joomla.org/extension ... -anywhere/

Thank you to everyone who has responded. In the end I used Brian Teeman's Login/Logout plugin in conjunction with EngageBox to get what I wanted.
