Place Modules Inside Joomla Articles

In our beginner classes we teach that module are small blocks of content around the outside of a Joomla site ... top, right, left, bottom.

Now that you're a little more familiar with Joomla, let's see an exception to that rule ... we can place modules inside regular text articles.

Step 1: In the administrator area of your Joomla site, go to Extensions >> Plugin Manager
Step 2: Find the plugin called "Content - Load Module" and make sure that it's enabled. On Joomla 1.0 its name is "Load Module Positions"
Step 3: Go to Extensions >> Module Manager and find the module you'd like to place inside an article.
Step 4: Open the module and click on the "position" dropdown.
Step 5: Choose a position that doesn't appear on your template. Remember that you can check this by adding /?tp=1 to your site.
Step 6: Save that module in its new position. In this example we've saved it in "User1"
Step 7: Go to Content >> Article Manager and open the article you're using.
Step 8: Place this code into the article: { loadposition user1 } ... remove the spaces between the brackets and the text. If you're using Joomla 1.0, then the code is {mosloadposition user1} .
Step 9: Save the article and check your handiwork on the front of your Joomla site.

Our Students Love the Training

Just wanted to share our success. Back in December my coworkers and I went to a Joomla Training and we had nothing. I even told you that we needed the website up in January, but we did it. :) We have the site up and running beautifully, with 277 articles, 25 sections, 88 categories, and around 40 editors. We did it!
