Displaying a Joomla module using PHP?

Question

Can i display a Joomla module using PHP? What would be the script to achieve this? (If it's possible!)

Answer 1

Try this,

Did you mean to render the module output using a PHP script? In which case, then take a look at this:

For older versions < Joomla3.x

$document = JFactory::getDocument();
$renderer = $document->loadRenderer('module');      
$module   = JModuleHelper::getModule('mod_fmDataGrid');

$params = "param1=bruno\n\rparam2=chris";
$module->params = $params;

echo $renderer->render($module);

For latest version. Joomla3.x

$modules  = JModuleHelper::getModules("dashboard_main");
$document = JFactory::getDocument();     
$attribs  = array();
$attribs['style'] = 'xhtml';

foreach ($modules as $mod)
{
    echo JModuleHelper::renderModule($mod, $attribs);
}

Hope this helps.
