Module SideBar Demo


Ever wanted to place a module inside an article? Joomla by itself won't let you. But now you can, thanks to the Module SideBar feature of iJooma SideBars. The possibilities are almost endless - for instance,

you could include the latest forum posts, display an image gallery, or even play a video. Just specify the module position, add the appropriate SideBar tag... and you're done

How it works:


To create a sidebar containing a module, first select Modules->Site Modules from the drop-down menu.

  • Open the module you'd like to display, publish it and choose a position.
  • Note: If you choose a module position that's already in use elsewhere on the site -- like "left" -- the sidebar may display a module previously assigned to that location. Its usually safer to use one of the less frequently used module positions -- like advert1, advert2 -- or to create your own module position.
  • Next, select Components->iJoomla Sidebars and click New on the Sidebars Manager.
  • Enter the sidebar name and a heading to show on the sidebar if you wish.
  • Choose a style and select module as the "type" of sidebar.
  • You will now see a list of all the positions to which a module is currently assigned. Choose the module position you'd like to use and Save.
  • The sidebar's tag will now be displayed on the Sidebar Manager.
  • Copy the tag and use it on any article you'd like to show this sidebar on
