Adding a module template

In most cases, we want our module to have the ability to display output using a template. We could theoretically code all of this directly into the module php file but using a separate file increases flexibility and gives us the option to override the module output in a template.

So in order to create a module template we need to do two things

Create the template
Tell the module to load the template and display it

With your favorite editor, create the following file

tmpl/mod_helloworld.php

<?php

/**
 * @package     Joomla.Tutorials
 * @subpackage  Module
 * @copyright   Copyright (C) 2005 - 2010 Open Source Matters, Inc. All rights reserved.
 * @license     License GNU General Public License version 2 or later; see LICENSE.txt
 */

// No direct access to this file
defined('_JEXEC') or die;

?>

<p>Hello World! I am a module</p>
