“Place Here” Module User Guide Part II

(This is a duplicate post so I don’t have to rewrite stuff that was already there)

Leading Paragraphs

  • The module can set articles in columns. However leading paragraphs span all columns ( so if you have three columns each col will span 1/3 of the width of the module position, but the leading paragraphs will span the full width of the module position)

Columns

  • see previous paragraph

Trim text

Like the name says this will trim down the text to the specified number of characters (so this expects a number as input, alphanumeric input will cause errors). This is a simple substring operation, so it might cut the last word in ha

Not found title, Not found text

If the id you entered in the id field at the top of the parameters does not return an article this title and text will be displayed instead.

Use Meta Description

If this is set to “yes” the module will use the text from the articles’ meta description instead of the intro text (if there is no meta description the intro text will be used as a fallback). The meta description is the short text you enter in the article manager (last entry in the parameter tab) that is supposed to be used by search engines.

Link to Category

If this is set to “yes” the readmore-Links in the module will not point to the single article, but to the blog layout page for the category to which the article belongs. This will only work properly if there is a link to the blog layout page somewhere in a menu (set up a hidden menu if necessary).

Run plugins

This is not new, but has caused a bit of confusion so I mention it here: Usually all plugins that run on the main content would run on the module content as well. This regularly wreaked havoc on page layouts when comment areas where appended to module contents etc, so I disabled plugins by default for the module. If you need to run plugins you need to set “run plugins” to “run plugins” (could I possibly be any clearer? I think not).

    1. Hi Fabio, I’m afraid there is no way to resolve this from within the module (or from within Joomla). You need to increase the memory limit in PHP, if your webhosts allows you to do so (if he does’nt I’m afraid you’re out of luck)

      Here is a link to a tutorial that explains serveral ways to increase the memory limit: http://www.hostucan.com/webmaster-tutorials/increase-php-memory-limit

    2. Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 523800 bytes) in /web/htdocs/www.atlhaonlus.eu/home/plugins/system/jfdatabase/intercept.jdatabasemysql.php on line 658

      This happens when I try to use the option Run Plugin,and use the Load Module trick to load a module inside the article that use PlaceHere
      (It is the one in Hommepage with the photo)..

      How can I resolve this?

    3. Thanks for this wonderful module. However, I am facing some problem with “Run plugins” option. Whenever I enable “Run plugins” option the Read More link breaks. And it link to homepage only.

      Would you please tell me a fix?

    4. Thank you for your module – it seems to work very nicely.

      I have one question that hopefully you can help me with – how do I resolve the different paths generated to one article?

      e.g. on Courses page – the Mantra Meditation page link is:
      http://www.vedalifestyle.co.uk/courses-and-workshops/9-workshops/3-mantra-meditation
      on Home page – the Mantra Meditation link is:
      http://www.vedalifestyle.co.uk/component/content/article/3-mantra-meditation

      Please help! Apologies if I have missed something.

      Kind regards,

      Janak
