Phoca Facebook Comments

Post by larissahn »

hi, I just downloaded this great module: Phoca Facebook Comments. You can scroll down and see it at the bottom of the page: http://centrodeeducacionactiva.com/inde ... &Itemid=16

I am using JA Nickel (template). I've tried different module positions, but I can't seem to get it right. So, I'd like to know if there is a way to insert it right at the bottom of the article body, instead of a module position (right now it's on user6). You can see on the background a big, gray box that doesn't look good.

Thanks!

Hi, you can use module as plugin in Joomla!

see the core plugin loadposition, set the fictive name of module position for the module and then load this position in bottom of your article {loadposition fictive-module-position}

See it here:

Hi Jan,

Thank you for your reply. I get everything you say, except WHERE to set the fictive name of module position for the module. Where can I find the core plugin? I went through the 4 pages of plugins installed on my site and couldn't find it.

Díky :)

Hi, the plugin is called:

Content - Load Module - type: content, file: loadmodule

In Module settings, you can set a position:

The parameter is called Position and it is a "combo box" so you can seletect an item here or add your own.

Ok, so the process would be:
1. Change the name of content-load module to "fictive".
2. Go to the phoca facebook comments module and in the position parameter, look for "fictive".
3. Add loadposition fictive on the bottom of each article where I want the facebook comments displayed?

Sorry to be a bother, this is the first time I use this.

Hi, this is the standard Joomla! feature, so maybe it is described somewher on Joomla! site.

1) No
2) you add the name "fictive" or any other not existing module position name to the Position Combo Box (you don't need to search it, it does not exist yet, after you will add it there, then it will exist) The combo box allows to select existing values BUT TO ADD NEW ONE TOO
3) yes - must be in { } so Joomla! will know it is a plugin which then Joomla! "translates" to content
