    • What do you want to link the module name to? (trying to understand exactly what you are wanting to do)

    • I have modules that show content from my forums using RSS feeds. I want the module name eg. Lyrics to take me to the lyrics section of the forums. Is that possible?

    • I'm not sure about that, let me think about it awhile.

      Wouldn't the rss feed be linking to the Lyrics section of the forum already?

    • beatking.com/site/index.php?  ; (test site)

      at the bottom there are three modules which pull content from my forums with RSS. I want the titles to link to that section.

      You can add HTML coding to all Joomla! titles which is awesome - something to try

      So you could have you titles as
      <a href=" www.mysite.com/link ">Module Title</a>

    • This is a hack for allowing HTML in content titles. Works great. However, I have not tested to see whether it also works in module titles.

      The answer was actually provided by a gentleman named Toubkal on the joomla.org forum. He warns:
      As I am not certain about the full implications of allowing html in the title, I would not use this hack on a site where there are other people contributing content, who cannot be trusted.

      Use FTP to navigate to -
      /includes/joomla.php

      about line 2560, function called CHECK
      /**
            * Validation and filtering
            */
           function check() {
                // filter malicious code
                $ignoreList = array( 'introtext', 'fulltext', 'title' );
                $this->filter( $ignoreList );


      here you can see, I have added , 'title' to the ignore list, which lets you add html in the title without it getting stripped.

      Hope that helps.
