  • Please describe exactly how it doesn't work anymore. This is essential in a complete question. Are you seeing errors? Blank screen? Mangled output? Some volunteers will already know, but it makes your question higher value to express what isn't working properly.

Use JModuleHelper::renderModule($module) instead of $renderer->render($module) also add code in your question along with the value of $module object, so we can understand your issue better and provide solutions accordingly.

  • Your API called for this code is directed from controller or accessing a file directly? As you are loading the framework. If you are redirected from the controller framework will be included already, in your case you will not be receiving any value in the $module, it may be due to the framework or any dependent file not included properly.
