Hi everyone,
Some one told me over the weekend that when they tried to place 2 or more Easy Folder Listing modules on page using loadposition on Joomla 1.7, the first listing is repeated for all subsequent listings. So, I did I little research and found out that this is an issue with Joomla 1.7 and not my module. Apparently, there is a bug in the Load Module (loadposition) plugin in Joomla 1.7:
- [#26446] Loadposition does not load more then one module
- Re: Joomla 1.7 Stable Loadposition does not work
Here’s the fix for it: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?p=2582026#p2582026
Michael,
Your module is great, and if I can get it working as desired, it will save considerable time. I have a menu item to view Week 1 files, another to view Week 2 files, and so on. Each week should display a different set of files (all .pdf’s) – each set is in a unique folder.
I’ve installed your module, created an article with the “{loadposition x_list}”. Then, on each menu item I reference the same article, but change the “location within the Parent Folder” under the “Module Assignment for this Menu Item”. However, when I change this on the menu item, it changes the location for every instance of the module.
Am I doing something wrong, or was this module not designed to be used multiple times on a site? Do I need to copy the module for each unique location???
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide this Joomla newbie.
@ponydad. Thanks for posting your question. Ok, to answer your question of multiple listings on the same or multiple pages, all you need is to create as many new instances of the module as you need. Each instance will have their own settings, but most importantly, each instance must be given a different fictitious module position.
So, if you have 3 instances of the Easy Folder Listing module in your module manager. You can assign them 3 fake positions (that is, a position that doesn’t really exist in the template), such as: list_pos_1, list_pos_2, and list_pos_3. Then, in the article(s), you show each of them as follows:
{loadposition list_pos_1}
{loadposition list_pos_2}
{loadposition list_pos_3}
Hope this helps.
