   Hi Leon,

   es gibt ein recht basales “related article” feature dass man evt. für diesen Zweck benutzen könnte (das sucht nach verwandten Begriffen in den Meta-Schlüsselworten).

   Der in Joomla vorgesehene Weg den Modulinhalt abhängig vom Artikel zu ändern ist natürlich mehrere Instanzen des Moduls anzulegen. Wenn man das nicht will…. mit vertretbarem Aufwand liesse sich ein Weg entwickeln die Zuordnung als eine Art Array zu übergeben, mit der ID als Schlüssel und den Ids der anzuzeigenden Seiten als Werten. Also in der Art array( “1″=>”4,8,9″, “45″=>”2,3″) womit der Artikel mit der ID 1 die Artikel 4, acht und neun zeigen würde etc.. ist es das was duSie möchtestEn ? Ich verspreche erstmal nix, aber da könnte ich zumindest mal überlegen wieviel Arbeit das wäre und mich dann nochmal dazu äussern.

   Hallo, Eike.
   Thank you for your Module.

   Ich habe so eine Aufgabe.

   Mit einem news-Modul, z.B. BK-News, erstelle ich eine Liste von Artikeltiteln.
   Jetzt nach einem Klick auf einen Titel muss in der danebenstehenen Modulposition den entspechenden Artikel angezeigt werden.

   Deshalb meine Frage: ist es irgendwie möglich, ID-Parameter für den gewählten Artikel an Ihren Modul zu übergeben (also dynamisch).

   Danke.

   Leon

   P.S. Ideal wäre, wenn Ihr Modul mit Ajax ausgegeben würde (also nur der Inhalt der Modulposition geändert würde), aber es ist eine andere Sache ).

   Gruß, Leon

   Hi Eike,

   I really like this module – extremely useful.

   I would like to see a section/category/article pop-up, as used elsewhere in Joomla, so that you don’t have to keep a note of the numbers when filling in the module parameters.

   There is no need for that. Plugins run fine in the module, it’s just that they are disabled in the module settings by default. Go to the settings for the place here modules and set “run plugins” to “yes”.

   Hi,

   I think I found out how to get plugins working in your module. If I add the following code to beez.php it seems to be working. Now I’m not a extensions expert, so I might have put it in the wrong place, but maybe its a nice starting point for you to implement it in your module:

   beez.php line 19:
   // DO NOT EDIT BEFORE THIS
   // Dnote begin
   $params =& $mainframe->getParams(‘com_content’);
   $aparams =& $article->parameters;
   $params->merge($aparams);
   $limitstart = JRequest::getVar(‘limitstart’, 0, ”, ‘int’);
   $dispatcher =& JDispatcher::getInstance();
   $results = $dispatcher->trigger(‘onPrepareContent’, array (& $article, & $params, $limitstart));
   // Dnote end

   Thanks for considering adding K2 support. All I’d like to see is the ability to show the contents of an item/article in their original state. Currently K2’s item placement module generates all kinds of list items and CSS styles which alters the output of each item. It’s not very easy to simply put a simple K2 content item in a module position due to this.

   I never tested it so I’d guess you are right. I understand that this is a crucial feature for many so I will try and make it work; however I have a job that will keep me busy to the end of February, so it’ll take a while.

   Your component doesn’t work with joomsfish does it ? I’ve tried on my website but it keeps showing only one language

   Hello, it would be necessary the W3C Markup Validation and a way to manage every single article as if it were a module in terms of settings and layout placing as in this website: http://www.kilombo.org; where avery box in a row is an article preview.

   Thank you.

    Hi Lance, there is a k2 content module that comes with the k2 extension. If I can build something better (suggestions?) I will give it a go, but I don’t think I will replicate functions that are already there.

    Comment by Eike — December 15, 2009 @ December 15, 2009 5:31 pm

    Could you add custom Background Image and color options (both) to your module. And a fixed height option as well.

    Here is a request that would combine features from Jeema’s ‘article as a module’ into yours, to make it THE best around…

    include the ability to customise the Header and Artical CSS, ie:
    Header Pre CSS
    Header Post CSS
    Artical Pre CSS
    Artical Post CSS

    to say, change the text size, aligment, style, font….

    Hi~

    Decided to add in the ‘order by hits descending’ modification myself. I’ll email you my edits.

    Great coding style; so rare for me to find GPL code that’s clear and documented!

    Cheers~

    First, thank you for an indispensable module! Should have been core functionality in Joomla 1.5 in my opinion.

    Second, a feature request: the ability to do primary ordering by Most Popular (most hits).

    Thanks, and have a terrific holiday season!

    Hi Eike,

    Could you inform me about the progress including the JoomlaTags into mod-placehere?

    kind regards,

    Hi,

    PlaceHere is an indispensable tool for Joomla. Thanks for making it!

    I do have a feature request. Would it be possible to make it pull in content items from K2 for http://k2.joomlaworks.gr/?

    Thanks!

    I have to look into this – it surely is possible, but I have to see how much work this takes. Ill get back to you.

    Hi Eiki,

    For the portfolio page of our website I’m going to add tags to the contentitems using JOomlatags from http://www.joomlatags.org/
    In the right column I want to add a module with the following content:
    x amount of introtext from contentitems from a selected category with a given Tag.
    The first part can be done with your module “mod_placehere”. The latter part “with a given Tag” is not included yet in your module. It would be cool if you can include this functionality. It would highly improve our website.

    Is it possible that you add this to the module?

    Hi,

    thanks for creating this very handy module. I am using it to display articles from several categories.

    But currently the ordering by category / section sorts by category ID / section ID. This is not practical because these IDs are automatically created by Joomla. Instead the sorting should depend on the ordering of categories and sections.

    This can be achieved by only small modifications to helper.php:

    1) append to SELECT in the SQL statement:
    ‘, cc.ordering, s.ordering’

    2) modify switch statements for the ordering:
    – replace all ‘a.sectionid’ with ’s.ordering’
    – replace all ‘a.catid’ with ‘cc.ordering’

    Maybe you could include this in the next version. I am sure many other users would appreciate this as well.

    Thank you!

    Hello,
    It’s a very nice extension. I’d like to know if there is a way to display, at the bottom of module, a link to “blog_category” core system, with the category id set in the module parameter. So, we can send the visitor to a riepilogue of the entire section/category.

    Anyway, thanks for the hard work!!!

    Excellent module, dude. If I might add one thing is the ability to sort articles by rating. That would be great, there isn’t many modules with that capability.

    Hi Randy, I feel this is something I can safely promise to implement during the next weekend, since I have already a bit of code to test that seems to work quite nicely. So you just have to wait a couple of days.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your great module!

    I have a question related to this module and I hope some of you could help me out.

    I want to add nofollow attribute to all article links. For example, I have one full article on content arena and 3 other links which link to 3 other articles. My question is, how could I add nofollow attribute to 3 article links? Where should I modify in the module?

    Thanks,

    Randy.

    Hi Marko,

    I have never tested this with any multilanguage extension (I think you are the first to ask). However I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong. Can you elaborate on what extension you use for internationalization ( I have no idea what or who N17m is), and I will see what I can do.

    Comment by Eike — August 30, 2009 @ August 30, 2009 6:29 pm

    Hi Eike,
    great module! Is there any possibility to filter the language of content items. On website language is set up by N17m, but placehere show all contents ignoring language parameter… Maybe I´m doing something wrong….
    Best regards,
    Marko

    Hi Eike,

    I have an additional feature request that I imagine other users would also find useful. Currently if you create a category blog for display in the content area you can select a parameter (‘authorized content’) to display the titles, intro text etc. for unpublished articles (viewable if the current user has the correct credentials). It would be great if we could choose to display unpublished articles using your module as well.

    Thanks for considering our requests in your feature list.

    Hi Eike,

    Your module does almost exactly what I require. There is one small modification I would be really happy to see however. Generally when I want to display a list of items belonging to a category in a module I only want to show the item titles. Currently there is no parameter that allows me to do this directly. I have to include blank intro text in each item and then select set the ’show intro text only’ parameter to yes. It would be great if you could include a ’show title only’ parameter that would give me the same result without having to add blank intro text to every item in the category (I don’t mind doing this but it’s problematic for other contributors on my site).

    Thanks for producing and distributing such a useful module!

    Sir your component is very good. One feature i want you to add is article image thumbnail creation. This should be there in joomla 1.5 module. User should able to create thumbs and align either left or right. Please do add this.

    Is there a way to ’show unauthorized links’ to get a ‘register to read more’ link? When I try to use a registered article it just doesn’t display.

    I’m upgrading to J1.5. Working on a dev site – not production yet. Thanks for anything you can pull together on the itemid need.

    You are using Joomla 1.0.x, right ? I’ll fix something for you, but it’ll take a day or two.

    Hello – I would very much like to be able to set a unique Itemid for the content item to open in.

    Hi Walid, do you have the option “link to category” enabled in the module settings ? If so try and uncheck it (it’s not a useful option even when it works).

    Hi,
    I find this module very useful but I have a problem when I activate it , I have this error, Im running in joomla 1.5.9

    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in C:\xampplite\htdocs\test5\components\com_content\helpers\route.php on line 106

    any help please? thanks

    Hi Dave, I’m not sure I follow you – you can select in the module manager on which pages the module is shown. So you can create multiple instances of the module and assign them to different pages on the same module position (just select the checkbox in front of the module and hit “copy” in the top right menu bar).

    Comment by Eike — March 24, 2009 @ March 24, 2009 9:52 pm

    I’m finding this very useful and it allows me to have multiple editable areas on my pages, however it would be nice to be able to define what pages it should be shown on. At the moment, you specify a module position and associated content id, so currently this displays in that module position on all pages which have that position. If one wanted to have different content for different pages they would have to define a load of module positions in their templateDetails.xml file such as page1-editable, page2-editable etc.

    I wonder how easy it is to define not only what content should appear but on what content it should appear.

    Anyhow great product.

    Hi! Is it possible to add an option to have the articles sorted alphabetically or reverse alphabetically?

    That would be a great addition to an already very useful module!
