Modules Anywhere is packed with options, giving you control over how it works and behaves. Here is the full list of the options you can find in the Modules Anywhere system plugin settings:
Behaviour
| Default style | Select the module style (chrome) to use by default. If no style is given in the module tag, this style is used. |
| Enable parameter overriding | If selected, you can override the modules parameters in the tag like: {module title="Main Menu" moduleclass_sfx="red" some_other_setting="123"} This only works for the module tag (not the modulepos tag). You can find the parameter names in the html of the modules settings page (name="param[...]") or look in the modules xml file. |
| Ignore Module Access Level | If selected, the module access level selection will be ignored. |
| Ignore Module State | If selected, unpublished modules will still be placed by the tag. |
| Ignore Module Assignments | If selected, module assignments (like date and menu item assignments) will be ignored. |
| Ignore Caching | By default, modules that have module caching switched off, will not be handled by Modules Anywhere on the article level, but at a later stage. This is to prevent Joomla from caching the module's output when caching the article. If selected, the module will be handled on article level even when caching is switched off for the module. Enable this if certain modules have problems with placing their css/javascript files and you need to keep their caching setting disabled. |
| Frontend Editing | Select if you want mouse-over edit icons for modules and menu items (support may depend on your template). |
| Fix HTML | Select to let the extension fix any html structure issues it finds. This is often necessary to deal with surrounding html tags. Only switch this off if you have issues with this. |
| Place HTML comments | By default HTML comments are placed around the output of this extension. These comments can help you troubleshoot when you don't get the output you expect. If you prefer to not have these comments in your HTML output, turn this option off. |
