Tip for Joomla: Joomla

This quick tip shows a typical problem of who is close to Joomla. The most famous
CMS portal, formed to organize content, forms can not play alone on a page, but only as "accessories" to a page, placed in special blocks (left, right, top, etc.).. For example, to display the banner module I put it in a menu item linked to the screen of a component. From

Panel, Administrative Management menu / items / menu button again
we note that among the items available there are only components of joomla and modules.

Application forms are "read" not to interfere with the core

of Joomla, but can be a powerful aid thanks to their flexibility. Often the modules are part of complex components, as the translator Joomfish, which uses the modules for the language selection, or the module in Virtuemart VMCart that shows the cart of products.

With increasing development of extensions by the community, were created modules that make up a true replacement of components, hence the need to visualize yourself on a page. It 's the case module and JA News JA Carousel Joomlart that lets you view news in a way more flexible than the classical frontpage, or the module which allows management Minifrontpage Articles independent sections and categories. On www.labstore.it
see in action a homepage made up entirely of modules

Here's the tip: create a "fake" menu item to associate our form


create a new entry
menu from the admin panel management / menu / menu items / New button and select
Articles / Blog content category in

settings window will appear that we clear the following standard parameters: # main # Intro, # link
go to Extensions / Module Manager

and select the module to appear in the link in
• Assign menu select the menu item you just created The result will be a ghost page created for the sole purpose of showing the modules associated with it.
