Topic: Insert module in Sobi2 Component

[Greg Hunt]

This is just a quick addition to the code to allow you to insert a module into the Sobi2 Component.  I even put my hacks where they are supposed to go for a change. 

This adds a new command to Sobi2 called Sobi2InsertMod($position, $style) it works pretty much everywhere (I tested the Template files and embedded in the code).

Instructions:
Unzip and Copy the attached file to your /components/com_sobi2/includes/inc directory or insert the function if you have any custom functions defined.

Usage is
<?php echo Sobi2InsertMod($position, $style) ?>
Where:
$position is the Position name defined in your modules
$style is the required style # (defaults to -2 if not defined)

Hope you find it useful.

Very useful.  Pinned.

Needed this exact thing right now for project I am thinking about.

Thanks!

Hope it helps.  I can't take much credit for the code since it's pretty much just extracted from the Load Position Plugin but I thought it would be a nice addition.

Hi
I'm new to SOBI. with this solution can I make posible that the user sends an entry to any adress by email? Maybe using something like addthis module?
thanks

All this addition does is provide a method to insert content into a page.  It doesn't interact with Sobi2 in any way.

Hi,

It's working very good, but I wonder if it's possible to load dynamic module position.
I believe it's possible because it's PHP, but unfortunately I'm not so good in PHP  .

What I want to do is to load a module position depend on title of the entry.

I tried to do that:

<?php echo Sobi2InsertMod(<?php echo $mySobi->title; ?>) ?>

What is the right way to write it?

Thanks.

[Greg Hunt]

if you had a module position with the title of the entry the code would be...

Code: [Select]

<?php Sobi2InsertMod($mySobi->title); ?>

Thank you!   
It's working great.

Glad to hear!  I guess it can interact with Sobi2 to a limited extent.

This seems to be what I´m looking for - hopefully!
One question though: Is it possible to create a module in Joomla and somehow "call for it" to be shown in i.e. position Left on Sobi2-pages only.

Any advice? Thanks a lot!
