How to include module in default.php file - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

hi,

i trying insert user menu in default.php file of mod_login. have overridden module, , tried insert module regular way

code: select all

<jdoc:include type="modules" name="usermenu" />

but translating html page, in, can see jdoc code in html file, nothing supposed appear.

can not use jdoc:include within view files? how insert module call in file??

any highly appreciated.

cheers,
aditi

ok, after digging around found answer. apparently jdoc:include not work within file. used jmodulehelper:rendermodule() function instead.

this code

code: select all

jimport('joomla.application.module.helper');
$module = jmodulehelper::getmodule('menutype', 'menutitle');
$attrib['style'] = 'xhtml';
echo jmodulehelper:rendermodule($module, $attrib);


the getmodule function important, need menutype [in case mod_menu] , menu title correct. $attrib['style'] module chrome, can checked here

and thats it. hope helps someone.
