There are various types of Joomla Modules are available. Once you install the module, if you have any confusions or doubts to add that particular module in the Article, refer this Tutorial.


Step 1: Set up the module:
Let's first create a module for use with this example.

1. Go to "Extensions - Module Manager". Look for the module "Main Menu". Check the box besides the title, and choose "Copy" from the menu.


2. You will see a new module called "Copy of Main Menu" appearing below the original "Main Menu".


3. Click on "Copy of Main Menu". First make sure Enabled is set at 'Yes'.

4. Now, for the field "Position", first take a look at the entire list of the module positions in the pulldown menu. Then choose a new module name and just type it in there. Yes, just manually type it in, since it will not be in the pulldown selection list. This is a combobox that allows you to add new items by typing the new item in the entry field. In this example, I've chosen the new module name to be user201 as shown below..


5. In the field "Menu Assignment", for Menus, make sure you select "All":


Save the module.

Step 2: Adding in the Article:
We will now create a content item for containing the module.

1. Go to Article Manager and create a new article.

2. In the article, enter the following:

This is a test to include a module inside a content page.

{loadposition user201}

3. Note that the module name after loadposition has to match the module position you have created in Step 1.

4. That's it! Save the article. We're all set!

Now you can see the module within the article. So follow the same steps for any types of module to add inside an article.
