Column Headers

In the table containing modules, these are the different columns as shown below. Click on the column heading to sort the list by that column's value.

• Ordering. Up-Down Arrows. User specified ordering, default is order of modules creation. When active, drag and drop ordering by 'click and hold' on the bars icon then 'release' in desired position.

• Checkbox. Check this box to select one or more modules. To select all modules, check the box in the column heading. Note: Many toolbar actions can work with multiple modules.

• Status. Published or Unpublished are shown. Click on the green check mark or the red circle in the Status column to toggle between Published and Unpublished.

• Title. The name of the module. You can open the module for editing by clicking on the Title.
• Position. Select to sort the modules position by this column.
• Type. The system name of the module. See Module for information about each of the standard modules.

• Pages. The Menu Items where this module will be displayed. A module will only display on Menu Items where it is selected.

• Access. The viewing Access Level for this module. You can change an module's Access Level by clicking on its Title to open it up for editing.

• Language. Module's language. If you are not using the multi-language feature of Joomla, default is 'All'.

• ID. This is a unique identification number for this module assigned automatically by Joomla. It is used to identify the module internally, and you cannot change this number.

Column Filters

Above the column headers on the right, there are 2 dropdown input fields, Sort Table By: (preset to 'Position ascending') and a number (preset to '20') to display.

These column sorting input fields shows the current method of sorting applied to the table. Use the dropdown field choices and click the column heading name. Alternatively, click on the column heading to sort the list by that column's value.

This will also change the value in the drop field to correspond with the column header name. The list will then be sorted in order by that column and a sort icon (up or down arrow) will show next to the column name. Click a second time to reverse the sort, which will change the corresponding drop field.

• Order (default). Shows ordering of selected column, ascending or descending.

• Number of items to display. Shows the number of items to display on one page, default is 20 items. If there are more items than this number, you can use the page navigation buttons to navigate between pages.

Quick Tips

Module Facts:

1. All Joomla! websites require at least 1 Menu Module
2. All Other Module Types are Optional. (Examples: News, Banner, Latest News)
3. Every Menu is accompanied by a menu module. (Example mod_mainmenu)
4. Multiple occurrences of similar module types.
5. Some Modules are linked to components. For example, each Menu Module is related to one Menu component. To define a Menu in Joomla!, you need to create the Menu and Menu Items using the Menus screens and then create the Module for the Menu using this screen. Other Modules, such as Custom HTML and Breadcrumbs, do not depend on any other content.

You can change the order of Modules within a Module Position as follows:

1. Select the desired Position using the Position Filter. This will limit the list to Modules that are assigned to this Position.
2. Change the order using the Up or Down arrows and changing the order by drag-and drop. The Modules will display in the new order within the Position.

To create or edit Modules: Module Manager - New/Edit
