Joomla module is a block of code that displays the data on the page. Joomla provides a facility to add modules on the positions that are defined in the template.In this article we will learn how to use {loadposition} and {loadmodule} in Joomla?
Sometimes we need to add a module where template positions are not placed on the page. Like if you want to add a module within the article where Joomla template positions are not available.
There are two ways in Joomla that allow easy place directly.
- loadposition – Publish module by specific position
- loadmodule – Publish module by specific module name
