The hightlight of this new release are:
* Add Wrapper to wrap any site into your site


Description:
* MosModule mambot has the ability to display nested article, author, textsizer, embeded video in a content, exec snippet written in PHP (without tags) and exec external php script file pass with parameter (with tags). You can see an example of that in "mosmodule\hello.php". (See more detail below)
* In my mind, MosModule would give me the potential of reusing article that are common to all article without repeating the same content, make my article more dynamic enrich with php code using snippet or external php script file. With the use of the parameters and querystring you can pass variable between mosmodule and the external php script. The possibilities are endless!


Features & Usages:
* Run as legacy mambot support and ability to run inside module (see below)
* MosModule is a mambot to displays any module, article, textsizer, video, exec snippet and external php script inside a content item, grap content from any url, wrapper to wrap any site into your site
* Use mosmodule to get RSS feeds from anywhere using the user module with RSS URL
* external script: Please see hello.php for a sample on passing variable between mosmodule and external script
* Add feature to self parse mosmodule bot
* Add support for mosimage in load article and author
* Add support for Nok Kaew and JoomFish in load articleid
* Show MosModule in section/category description (see readme_advance.txt).


Note:
* Important: Make sure to save the setting at least once and enable MosModule in Mambot manager!
* This is a rewrite of modulebot to be compatible with Mambo 4.5.1 or above, Joomla 1.0 and 1.5 with legacy enable
* The default folder for external script is "mosmodule" but you can change it in param screen
For example: /home/user/www/mosmodule
* Snippet should not have tags where as phpinc should have the tags
* By default, the module will fill the width of the content area. If you wish to control the width and positioning of modules in content area, you will want to enclose the mosmodule tag(s) in a div and either assign a class to controll the display in your template_css.css file, or use inline styles (if you are using a WYSIWYG editor, you will need to switch to source mode in order to create the tag).

Great mambot, small glitch though by vdneut, April 30, 2008
1 of 1 people find this review helpful:
Love your mambot, especially the diversity of it!
Removed several other mambots now in favour of this one.
(Small glitch I found is that the video appears on top of all DIV's. Solved it by adding wmode="transparent" as an extra option in the generated html: .)
Chears! Nico

I am not sure I follow what you are saying. Can you send me the before and after and what it does differently?

Thanks for the feedback!

AWESOME! by jackbremer, April 2, 2008

This is FANTASTIC - might change the way I build Joomla sites forever!

I have used it on a Yoga website, and means that I can include various teacher bio's in any page, and update them in just one place.

At last the claim "Joomla is built on a database so you NEVER have to enter data in two places" is true!


Owner's reply:
I am glad that you find practical use of MosModule for your your site.

Thanks for your feedback!

Pretty good and useful by Stzzo, March 23, 2008
1 of 1 people find this review helpful:
I like the mambot. It adds a lot of versatility to display of content.

One minor annoyance with it is that it inserts BR tags between some of the content it inserts. I think it's not a good idea to automatically add spacing to the content - that should be the site dev's choice.

A solution I would prefer is either adding nothing or surrounding the insertions with DIV tags of a particular CSS class so that dev can style the content as desired.


Owner's reply:
I will consider your suggestion for the future release.

Thanks for your feedback!

must be core but need a huge bug fix by teomant, March 1, 2008
0 of 1 people find this review helpful:
This is a dream come true extension very easy to use
and since Joomla! dont have any "assign single article to multiple categories" this is the closest one you can get.
I have a suggestion.
You cant display article titles while using articleid=xxxx
I think this is very very important.
Now here comes the huge bug. My Joomla! version is 1.51.
Lets say you click on an article with id 30 and there is a {mosmodule} command there
If you use random command or even articleid command
if the random article becomes the same one which u are looking (in cour case it is id30) the page becomes a huge blank page.
This is not a big issue while using article id since you will probably not put the same article twice in same page. But when it comes a random it is very very important.


Owner's reply:
Title is not there for articleid to avoid confusion to have duplicated title on the same content. Please provide an example for a use case and why is it important.



Now for showing on the same paging with the same id with the random, is that more of a feature request then bug? How would you expect this to be handle if you have the same article on the same page? The random is intent for use of the content from a different section not for the same section of displaying article.

This module should be core by tharkun, January 28, 2008
1 of 1 people find this review helpful:
In my case this module has tipped the scales for Joomla and against Drupal, EZPublish, Typo3 and other CMSs.

The reason is the big freedom mosmodule gives me of showing whatever I want to my visitors. In my case especially the phpinc function is of great value!

Thanks!

I am glad that you find it useful!

Fantastic module by Shazbot996, October 16, 2007
1 of 1 people find this review helpful:
Wow, how could a Joomla developer do without this module? I find Joomla pretty handcuffed without this.

One comment/question: I noticed that all the help reference used the term {MM command} to invoke the module in article context. It is said that "MM substitue for mosmodule". I am curious, was this done just to simplify documentation? using {mm command} does not work for me at all - only using the verbose command {mosmodule command} works. Should the abbreviated "mm" work? If it is not supposed to, I would recommend spelling out the word "mosmodule" as the proper command in the documentation. Maybe I am not very smart, but I found it confusing at first!

Either way, thanks for the fantastic module. Excellent work.


Owner's reply:
The reason for the MM is to avoid parsing of the command when it is show on Mambo or Joomla site that has MosModule installed. I was using { mosmodule ...} but people miss the space and keep having problem so I just replace it with a capital MM so it will stand out better.



Also as a result the document is smaller and easier to read!



Thanks

Wonderful Module - Adds a lot to Joomla! by holdencreative, September 17, 2007
1 of 1 people find this review helpful:
MosModule isn't one of Joomla's most popular extensions - but it should be.

Using MosModule you can add generally well-styled modules into your content items - a desire of many, many, Joomla users for various extensions.

The use of the bot is easy : {mosmodule module=modulename}

And give you a lot of options. And you aren't just limited to adding stand-alone modules (like 'latest news') either. A number of components come with their own modules, and MosModule can generally add them as well.

This has been a HUGE plus for my Joomla sites - for example - this way, I can add the 'Frontpage Slideshow' to a content item, or one of many other component/modules.

A great module - well made - and not well-enough known. Thanks!


Owner's reply:
I would love to see how you make use of MosModule.



Thank you very much for the nice review!

This is brilliant!! by MsImperfect, August 29, 2007

I'm very new to Joomla! and believe me when I say that this is one of the few plugins that I have got working without any trouble at all!
Just install, publish and you are set! =)

Thanks a lot for this flawless plugin!
Look forward to more plugins from you =)


Owner's reply:
It is my goal to make sure it works when I release but no software is 100% bug free!



Thank you!

fantastic by ocs_cms, May 17, 2007

MosModule and anything from ongetc.com is great. I use mosmodule anytime I need to embed a module in my conent - I don't even think about things like "is this going to break anything"

MosCmenuTree is another favorite of mine. I use it on my website, and had no problems at all.

very reliable, nicely put together. highly recommmended.

Thank you so much for your kind review and vote of confident!

My little hero! by ffff0000, February 11, 2007
2 of 2 people find this review helpful:
This is the best mambot of my collection.
It's perfect for customize the frontpage content with the help of other modules.

I just have a request:
Instead of use the Module Name. I think it would be better to use the "Module Type Name" (mod_xxxxxx).
Because if I change the name of any module manually...mosmodule will not find it.

PD:sorry for my english.


Owner's reply:
Do you mean to use "Type" column instead of the "Module Name" in the module manager?



I can try to see if I can match either column. Would that work?



For example: {mosmodule module=mod_banners} or {mosmodule module=Banners} will work both way.



What do you think?



Thanks
