Setting up a Module Position

Modules can be managed within the Module Manager by navigating to Extensions > Module Manager.

While every module has different parameters/basic options specific to its function, there are a few constant parameters/baisc options used to manage the desired display within your Joomla template:

  • Title
    • The title to be displayed above the module.
  • Show Title
    • You can also choose not to display the title on the frontend.
  • Enabled
    • Enables/Disables the module from being displayed.
  • Position
    • Select field that designates the location of the module (e.g; left, right, etc.)
  • Order
    • Select field to determine the ordering of the module (this can be quickly adjusted at the main module manager page)
  • Access Level
    • Allows you to select which user levels can see the module.
  • Module Class Suffix
    • Applied an additional CSS suffix to the module for additional styling.

Setting up a module for your site is an easy and quick thing to do.

  • No pages: This will prevent you from being able to publish the module anywhere.
  • Only on the pages selected: This will allow you to publish the module in a particular part of your site by clicking on the areas you'd like to have it published. Good to use if you want a module only showing up in particular parts of your site.
  • On all pages except those selected: Same as the approch above just flipped.
