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 Joomla module positions in Joomla 4.
Sometimes we need to add a module where template positions are not placed on the page. 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
