Hi
I decided to try on another server. If anyone has a really simple plugin that they have running on a Joom 1.5 site for a suggestion to try, I would give it a try. It make take me a copule of days to get to it but I will let you know how I make out.
Cheers

Hi - It took me a while to get back to this. I tried on another server and saw the same issues. I thought the "includePHP" plugin could be really usefull and simple so I installed this plugin and did a simple echo of a string using a variable. I finally realized that this plugin worked when the plugin was used inside an article. I found that I could not get any plugins to work inside a module. Plugins inside modules work with Joomla 1.0.
Is this a Joomla 1.5 thing. Has anyone else noticed this and is there a work around so that I can use plugins in modules so that I may take advantage of the pre-defined positions.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Rob

Hi -
I have found the Answer in the Joomla Bug tracker. It has been reported as a bug in ID 8731 ,9733, 7767 and other duplications. I believe the status of this "bug" is that it is currently closed with no fixes planned. I noticed many uhappy individuals over this so maybee they will re-consider. It seems to keep getting reported because it worked in 1.xx but as the bug reports come in, they status them as closed and I do not believe there are any plans to make plugins work in custom modules in 1.5. If anyone hears differently, please let me know.The reason that this is closed is listed in the bug report below that I obtained from joomlacode.org
The custom module is not a "Joomla Content" feature, meaning that it
does not and should not use the content plugins. Again this is the intended
design as far as I can tell. The solution again is to modify the module for
your needs, which you can do because the source is open.
I hope this helps someone.
Cheers.

I got the rokzoom plugin working in a module in the advert1 positon in Joom1.5. This will allow any plugin to be used in custom modules and in any position. I added function modChrome_customxhtml from the link I provided below to the modules.php file located in the templates html directory.The function is near the end of the forum post.
In the template index.php file (To enable plugins in the advert1 position)
REPLACE <jdoc:include type="modules" name="advert1" style="xhtml" />
WITH <jdoc:include type="modules" name="advert1" style="customxhtml" />

This is a lifesaver for me and I hope it helps someone else out!
Cheers

Debated if I should post this ...because I do not want to make posts that are not interesting to anyone re-surface....but I spent so much time on this and coincidentally after the fact I found a module that allows you to select and read in an article. You can then add the plugin to the article . This was developed as another workaround to the Joomla 1.5 ,no plugins allowed in Custom modules, and thought I would share it with the Rocket club members. I am not sure if the template overirides(my last post) is more than some members are willing to attempt. Anyways ...here is the link for another way to add plugins in postiions. I like method 1 better for a couple of reasons but it may be more complicated to implement.
