If you, like me, use a keywords plugin to categories your articles, it can be hard to add a module to the article-page only and not the homepage. I found a very easy way to load the module inside the component of your choice, in this case components/com_content/views/article/tmpl/default.php. I’ll also give you a tip on how you can add a module inside an article.
How to Add the Module to a Component
To add the module to component this is what you have to do.
The share-grid to the left is a module added to the component article. Just add this code to the end of components/com_content/views/article/tmpl/default.php. And the module will only be displayed in the article and not on the homepage.
<div id="share">
<?php
$zone = "share";
$modules =& JModuleHelper::getModules($zone);
foreach ($modules as $module){
echo JModuleHelper::renderModule($module);
}
?>
</div>
How to Add the Module to an Article
Lets say you want to add a module to the middle of an article. Can it be done? Well, of course! Copy the module you want to use and/or change it’s position to something that you haven’t used before, for example – “inarticle”. Then just add this code to the article you want the module to render in.
{loadposition share}
And that’s it. Let me know if this was to any help!
