What are Joomla modules? - A Comprehensive Guide! ( How they work, How to Place them and Override )

Hi everyone,

Today I'm going to walk you through the basics of Joomla Modules. We'll talk about what Joomla Modules are, how to use them, how to insert them into Joomla positions, how to place them in articles, and how to override them in your template/theme. Let's get started!

First, let's talk about what Joomla Modules are. Joomla Modules are pieces of code that can add functionality and content to your website. They are typically used to display content in a particular way, like a photo gallery, a news feed, or a contact form.

Next, let's talk about how to use modules. Modules are very easy to install and use. All you have to do is upload the module to your Joomla installation and then click on the "New" button to create a new module. From there, you can choose the type of module you want to install and customize it according to your needs.

Now let's talk about how to insert modules into Joomla positions. Joomla has several positions for modules, such as the left column, the right column, and the footer. To insert a module into one of these positions, you simply have to select the position from the drop-down menu in the module manager and then click on "Save".

The next step is to place Joomla modules in articles. To do this, you can either use the "Module" button in the text editor or you can use the "Module" button in the article manager. Once you have added the desired module to the article, you can then customize it according to your needs.

The last step is to override the modules in your template/theme. To do this, you'll need to go to the template manager and then click on the "Override" button. From there, you can customize the module to look the way you want it to look in your theme.

And that's it! That's how you use Joomla modules to add content and functionality to your website. I hope this tutorial was helpful and that you learned something new. If you have any questions or need help with anything, don't hesitate to ask in the comments section. Thanks for watching!
