  • Placing a module in an uncategorized article

    Posted 13 years 9 months ago
    • I am having difficulty in getting a module to appear in an uncategorized article.
      Template = Meridian
      Module = Blue Flame Form (Module type: mod_form)

      I created a new menu called "Ghost Menu 2" and created and published two menu items -- one for the page carrying the module (a login form) and one for the page it gets redirected to. Both pages are uncategorized.

      The module works (I made sure by temporarily assigning it to a menu item associated with Main Menu and it came up fine). But when I assign the module to the page under Ghost Menu 2, it does not appear.

      The website is: www.firewindandwater.com

      The uncategorized article on which the module is not showing up (module position = main1) is:
      www.firewindandwater.com/index.php?optio...t&view=article&id=69

      I really can't figure out why the module is not appearing on this page.

      I appreciate any help you can provide as my client is anxious to get this log in page up and running.

      Thanks,
      Larry

    • Hi Larry,

      If the page is not being called by a menu item then the module will not be displayed unless the module is set to appear on all pages.

      When I do things like this I use {loadposition mymodulename} and in the module I overtype the position with mymodulename and set it to appear on all pages.

      As the position mymodulename doesn't exist in the template the module cannot be displayed unless the loadposition calls it within an article.

      Looking at the links you provided, it appears that the login page is a basic page so my method would work. Alternatively you would need to identify the menu item where you have set the module to appear and then ensure that the link has that on the end.

      For example...
      http://www.firewindandwater.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=69
      is the demo link. If this was controlled from your hidden menu by item 269 then the link would need to look like this...
      http://www.firewindandwater.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=69&Itemid=269

      Hope this helps 8)
