Hi,

I'm quite new in matters Joomla and I've to redesign a website with Joomla (1.0.13).

Your google Maps module is great, so I installed it... no problem...
but now I want to display it as content and not below the MainMenue ....

So I changed the module position to cpanel. But of course it's not appearing...
So I thought to create a new menue item to just _link_ to the google maps site.. .but of course I can't _link_ directly to a module, just to components.

So what to do, to show the google Maps as content item?

Sorry for stupid questions.

I am a little lost with your question, if you post or PM me the URL of your site I would be in a better position to help

thanks

Sorry ... I got it...

had just to install the "mosmodul mambot" to show a module as pure content. ((this I was actually looking for!)

So sorry for the poor question - problem solved so far!

Works great!

It's quite easy if it is explained properly, so here goes...

The first step is to upload your module in the usual manner then create a new module position in:

site> template manager>module positions

Lets say we made a new position "test_pos".

Next, create a content item e.g. 'How to find us' where you want the map to appear. Don't forget to create a menu _link_ to the content item or no-one will see the map.

Next, publish the new module to the new module position "test_pos" we created above.

Next, go to the content item in which we want the map to appear (How to find us) and in your text editor write the code below exactly where you want the map to appear:



Please use curly parenthesis around this code.

This code will load the module published at test_pos module position.

I hope this helps.
