With Modules Anywhere you can include a single module or complete module positions anywhere in your site, including inside 3rd party components and even inside other modules.
Why use Modules Anywhere, and not the {loadposition} plugin?
- It works anywhere, not only in articles. It even works in modules!
- You can load a single module, not only complete module positions.
- You can control the html display style from within the tag, not only one global setting.
- You have some security setting, so you can disable this feature for lower user types.
- It comes with a very easy to use editor button.
You can set Modules Anywhere to also handle the {loadposition} tags. In that case, you can safely disable the {loadposition} plugin all together.
Security settings
You can enable / disable Modules Anywhere in articles (and sections/categories), components and everwhere else (including modules) separately.
For articles, you can also set a minimum user group level. This means that Modules Anywhere only works in articles with an author that has your desired level or higher. You might not want your frontend authors to have the option to include modules (and potentially mess up your site).
HTML styles
Just like the core plugin, you can choose what kind of style you want to use for placing the modules in your content.
However, with Modules Anywhere you can override the default setting in the tag. So you can use different styles for each module you want to place.
See the Syntax to learn how.
Modules in Content
Modules Anywhere is based on Modules in Content. But Modules Anywhere is a lot more useful. Unlike Modules in Content, it also allows you to place modules in other places than only articles. And there are some more cool features!
If you use Modules in Content, you can replace it by Modules Anywhere!
That means, you must uninstall Modules in Content if you install Modules Anywhere.

Editor Button plugin parameters
System plugin parameters
The below sytax is explained to show you how the Modules Anywhere tags are formed.
But to make things easy you can just use the very easy to use Editor Button to insert these tags (see the screenshots).
Modules Anywhere supports two tags for placing modules.
Single module
{module Name of the module}for instance, if you want to put your main menu in your content, and the module has the name "Main Menu", do this:
You can also use the id number of the module instead. So if the module id is 3, you can do:
Module positions
You can use this as a replacement for the "Load Module" plugin:
{modulepos module_posistion}for instance, if you want to put all module in the user3 position your content, do this:
Overruling HTML styles
You can easily place the module (or module position) with another style than you have set as default. Just add it after the name, separated with a bar:
You can choose from these HTML styles:
- table - Wrapped by Table (Column)
- horz - Wrapped by Table (Horizontal)
- xhtml - Wrapped by Divs
- rounded - Wrapped by Multiple Divs
- none - No wrapping (raw output)

Moduleposition: footer

The package installs/updates all necessary extensions, like components, module and plugins. (If the package contains plugins, they will be published after install, so you won't have to do that by hand.)
The package makes use of a special installer. This checks to see if it needs to install the extension(s) or update them. So you can just run this package through the Joomla installer without having to uninstall the older version.
You might experience problems during install for certain setups. In that case you can install the extension(s) manually. Please read the INSTALL.txt in the package...
