MosModule 
* Thanks to andras contribution the joomfish integration is now only show the selected language rather than show the original and the translated text side by side. It makes more sense this way and more flexibility. In the case where it is use in a module via MosModuleMod like the way andras use at his site.
* {mosimage} is supported in translated text
* This feature also support in "readmore" command
* Fix bug in Nok Kaew integration and should work the same for nok kaew.
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, rss feed, Gigcalendar, MosQbot
* 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).
* Support mod_mosmodule that call mosmodule mambot in module
* Integrate with MosCom with ability to place comment link any where in content
Syntax: {mm command}
Note: MM substitute for mosmodule

Any donation$ would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
One little note: please change the text above. The correct syntax is {mosmodule module=LogIn} and NOT {mm # module=LogIn} !! You wouldn't believe how long it took me to get it right, awful. So please, spare others this frustration ;-)
Cheers
I added the NOTE to explain the MM and the reason for this is to avoid parsing of mosmodule instead of showing the command.
Thanks for your feedback.
Will, but in time!
Thanks for your feedback!
Thanks very much for this!
Thanks for the kind words!
I appreciated!
Mosmudule is probabaly the greatest thing to happen to Joomla, but it needs to be converted to 1.5 native.
I use this module on 7 sites now, and I have upgraded all of them to 1.5 and except for mosmodule, all of my modules are 1.5 native.
Thanks for your kind words!
The native 1.5 will come eventually unfortunately there are so many competing priority!
Thanks
That's the idea! To be seamlessly link pieces together for your ease of creating great content.
Thanks
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!
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!
I am glad that you find practical use of MosModule for your your site.
Thanks for your feedback!
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.
I will consider your suggestion for the future release.
Thanks for your feedback!
I am glad you like it!
Thanks
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.
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.
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!
Thanks
One little comment:
you might want to put one working sample like
{mosmodule list}
right on top in the readme.txt
Sure, sound good!
Thanks
I would plan to donate this project once my site is up & running!!:)
Thanks for your nice comment.
I appreciated!
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.
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
Thank you for the vote!
I appreciated it!
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!
I would love to see how you make use of MosModule.
Thank you very much for the nice review!
Just install, publish and you are set! =)
Thanks a lot for this flawless plugin!
Look forward to more plugins from you =)
It is my goal to make sure it works when I release but no software is 100% bug free!
Thank you!
How did you MosModule that set you free?
Please share!
Thanks for the feedback!
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.
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
Thanks for your kind words and if you have some good snippet and willing to share please do so.
Thanks
