Joomla! 1.5 has this functionality built in without the need for extensions . Ensure the "Content - Load Module" plugin is enabled in the Plugin Manager. Then when you are writing an article, use the following code syntax to embed your module(s) within the article:
{loadposition name}
Replace name with the name of the position assigned to the module(s) you want to embed. For example, let's say I wanted to embed the Search box within an article. I'd assign the Search box to a unique position (let's call it newsearch) and then in the article write the following where I want the box to be positioned:{loadposition newsearch}.Note that the title of the module will not be displayed on your site when doing this, just the contents of the module.
You can use the insert, where user1 is the module position you have the module in question assigned to. This works in v 1.0.13
Things to note:
All published modules in that position will load into the content.You don't have to have the specified module position assigned in your template html for it to work. (this is good if you only want the module to show up in the content, but no where else in the site.)Restrictions on user levels in modules still work, so module content won't show if it is restricted to registered users, even if the article or content item is made for public viewing.Like a lot of Joomla! stuff, this is a really simple solution, but hard to know where to find it. I've been searching for this solution for a week now, but happened to randomly stumble across this post this morning. |
