There are many useful reasons why you would want to embed a module within article content on your website.

• include a menu in an article
• include a custom html module in an article
• include search function in article

Any of your modules published within your module manager can be embedded.

Getting Started

If you already have a module in mind, its as easy as adding:

{loadposition user21}

Just add above syntax in your article where you would like the module to appear & edit “user21″ to reflect the position of the module you would like to embed & your done.

Here is a short tutorial showing how to make your own custom module and embed it in an article on your front page

From the control panel dashboard, click on your module manager

In the top right hand side of your module manager click “New”

Click “custom HTML” or click radial checkbox to the left of the text and click “next”

Enter your “Title” in this case were using “my custom module”

Create a new “user position” by typing one directly into the box, the value can be any number you want.

*TIP* Its best to start with a higher number to avoide using a position already used by your joomla template.

*TIP* Menu assignment, the all setting will allow the module to be embedded on any page in your site

Now if you scroll down past the settings to the bottom, you will see your editor.

This is where you create your custom module

(Top Right)

Click your article manager so you can embed your newly created “Custom Module”
