Overview

A custom module contains some combination of text, images, and links.  Editing a custom module is very similar to editing an article.

Example

In the below screenshot, "Contacts" is a custom module that contains text and links. The title of the module usually appears in a large font above the content within the module.

Procedure

1. In the Joomla! back-end (Control Panel), navigate to Extensions > Sites Modules, then click the New Button to create a new module:
2. For "Select a Module Type," select "Custom"
   
3. Under the formatting toolbars, edit the text that appears in the module (see #1 below). You can format the text using the buttons on the editor toolbars (see #2 below).
   
   
4. When done, click Save & Close. 

1. If you are not already at the image listing for an Ignite Gallery category, you can go there as follows:
   
   • From the back end Joomla! administrator interface, go to Components -> Ignite Gallery -> Categories.
   • Click Manage Images in the row for the category containing the images you'd like to edit.
2. Click Edit in the Description or Tag column corresponding to the row for the image to be edited:
   
   
   
   
3. In the Edit Image Details page, you can set the following:
   • Description (optional)
   • Tags (optional)
   • Image Alt Text (required for accessibility; a short description of the image that can be the same as the "Description")
   • Image Link (optional; allows you to link the image to another page or website)
     
     
     
     
4. If you want to replace an image with another one, click Browse to the right of "Change Image":
   
   
   
   Then browse to the image on your computer and click Open.
   
   
5. After editing all the details for an image, click Save And Next at the top to edit the details for the next image, or Save & Close when done.

Overview

You can embed a Latest Events module within an article, so that a list of events appears within the article.

Procedure

1. Create a "JEvents Latest Events" module to display the latest events from one or more categories.
2. Create an article that will contain the JEvents Latest Events module
3. Select the Modulebutton below the text area.  If you see two Module buttons, click the second one (it looks like it has multiple windows in its icon):
   
   
   
   
4. Enter part or all of the module's title in the search field, then press [Enter] or click the search icon (see #1 below).
5. In the "ID" column, click the button with the number inside it to the left of your module's title (this is the module's ID number; see #2 below).
   
   
   
   Although you can also click on the module title itself, we recommend clicking the module's ID number instead. This is because the module's ID number will not change and will be unique, while your module's title may change, and two or more modules may have the same title.
6. Save & Close your article

Sample Display

The events from the JEvents Latest Events module will be displayed as a list within your article:
