Hi Eike, great module. When I display the article via placehere it displays fine but is repeated in the main content. I tried setting parameter ‘hide current article’ top ‘yes’ but it only hides the module content (I suspect it’s intended to do this). How do I hide the content purely in the main content? Thanks.

Hi Raj, not sure (I don’t think this has anything to do with the module), be sure you not only have set the permissions but that there are no ownership issues (I think the scripts need to own the modules directory to create subfolder).

Installing the module on our server (localhost ran fine) gives the error
* JFolder::create: Could not create directory
* Warning! Failed to move file.

I tried putting the permissions on modules folder to 0777, but that didn’t help. Can you please help?

Thanks

I get the following error on installation. I tried changing the chmod on modules folder to 0777, but that didn’t help. Can you help?

* JFolder::create: Could not create directory
* Warning! Failed to move file.

Hi Eike,

Can’t thank you enough for such a prompt reply! I resolved the problem. I had turned off the gallery to see if that was the problem, just turns out that I needed to turn off for all mod_placehere modules.

Thank you for your help.

Hi Andrew, go to the modules parameters and check if “gallery mode” is set to “yes” (and if it is set it to “no”). Gallery Mode appends the images from the main content as an unordered list and is not very useful to most people.

Hi Eike

Thankyou for a fantastic component. I use a loadpostion{mod-placehere} to load a list of articles into a JEvent HTML page. The articles get listed as teaser blocks as I use a ‘read more’ to hide detail. Everything works fine but I’ve just noticed if I add an image into my article below the read more marker, that image get displayed before the readmore in the article list. Any ideas?

Fehlerbehebung: Die JDate Klasse ist nicht selbstverständlich für Module verfügbar.

// $now = date(’Y-m-d H:i:s’, time());
// 18/11/07 Correct date routine as suggested by eathaiku
// http://diebesteallerzeiten.de/blog/module-for-15-alpha/#comment-1275

$date = &JFactory::getDate( $regDate ); // new JDate();
$now = $date->toMySQL();

Many thanks, Eike! I didn’t realize the ‘Beez’ template was tableless, so thanks for the tip. After some experimentation, I chose Beez, with ‘raw’ output (instead of DIV). That still output some useless stuff (like an empty ‘buttonheading’ paragraph tag and an empty spacer anchor) so I actually edited the beez.php file in your /tmpl folder to remove that stuff. Now it truly dumps unmodified HTML from the content item into the module spot, which is what I was looking for. Thanks again!

Hi Dekortage,

look at the bottom at the settings panel – there you can choose a template (”beez” is the tableless option) and set “output mode” to “div”.
