Why use Modules Anywhere, and not the {loadposition} plugin?
* It works anywhere, not only in articles. It even works in modules!
* You can load a single module, not only complete module positions.
* You can control the html display style from within the tag, not only one global setting.
* You have some security setting, so you can disable this feature for lower user types.
* It comes with a very easy to use editor button.
You can set Modules Anywhere to also handle the {loadposition} tags. In that case, you can safely disable the {loadposition} plugin all together.
Modules Anywhere is based on Modules in Content. But Modules Anywhere is a lot more useful. Unlike Modules in Content, it also allows you to place modules in other places than only articles. And there are some more cool features!
If you use Modules in Content, you can replace it by Modules Anywhere!
That means, you must uninstall Modules in Content if you install Modules Anywhere.

Every Joomla designer needs this essential tool for their sites. It's easy to install and configure and adds so many wonderful possibilities for integrating modules inside components or, as the name says, anywhere! Great job.
It doesn't play perfectly nice with every template out there when wrapping the module in divs (had some very minor layout issues with RocketTheme, in particular), but I still can't imagine doing my work without it.

The styling of modules is controlled by the templates css file. Some templates have there module style definitions formed in a way that they only work if the module is inside certain module positions.
So that means that modules outside those positions do not get styled the way you might want.
Usually you can quite simply fix that by changing the css file so the styling also affects modules in the content area.

It can't get any simpler than this, and the editor button is very handy to pick on modules without living the current article.( that was a surprise )
For some reason it doesn't insert the snippet in JCE, but, I wouldn't even bother with it, it already does more than expected.
Check the other extensions from his site, everything he has developed should be part of the Core. Thank very much for this and all your extensions.

The JCE problem is a bug in JCE. They have a fix on their site here:

I found this module really useful and have already used it several times in my sites.
I have downloaded several extensions and am not often compelled to write a review - but this time is different!
The support offered when I was having alignment issues with one of the modules I was trying to place was second to none. Peter had such patience and was quick with his responses and offered great suggestions.
I thoroughly recommend this module and will be looking out for other extensions from No Number.

This guy makes solid stuff... click his name, then check what he makes and download it all.. because it will work!

So easy to use, all you do is click a button in the editor. This is what I call "perfectly integrated".
Favorited the extension
Thank you

I was a bit of a noob to begin with and put the wrong module tag name in the article. After a few quick head scratches, I have a simple image rotator in my article. thanks

I used this to show Virtuemart featured products in a page. Works perfectly!!

If you aren't using this extension you probably should be. It works exactly as advertised and I wouldn't set up a Joomla site without it.
I use several of this developer's extensions, and have no problem recommending any of them.

It does what it should do AND makes it so simple for the user to use that this plugin sets the standard.
Edit article, select position in article, click on the "Module" button at the bottom of the article content edit pane, select the module you want to insert from the pop-up window and you're done.

Absolutely perfect, this is exactly what I was looking for. Just installed and it was working, took me less than 1 minute! Congrats for a great plugin.
bysneadm on September 1, 2009
One of the easiest modules I've ever installed and used. Worked like an absolute charm. Documentation right on the page, had it working in 10 minutes. Love it!
byadancer on August 30, 2009
Just forget about the modules position, be active or inactive...
just use this great plugin to load any module knowing just it's name and works great ANYWHERE!

Absolutely perfect. I like things that work. Took longer to download and install than it did to use it
byyellowhousedesign on August 13, 2009
I've been following the Google Groups discussion on making this part of the core for 1.6, so hopefully that will all be worked out.
I can't say enough about how much easier this has made managing all of my sites. Peter's extensions are awesome!

Modules Anywhere worked perfectly on the first try, just as advertised... then their support team responded within a few minutes when I had questions about my application & really unrelated to the module... very few times does the product and support exceed expectations, but this time it did! Thanks Peter!
Owner's reply
Support team? How can 1 person be a team :D
I hope I can keep my support level high enough to exceed your expectations. But having said that, you will probably expect that. So expectations are even higher... oh boy... how can I deal with that ;)
bydavidunwinubs13 on August 3, 2009
This plugin is so obvious and easy to use, it should be part of the Joomla core code. Peter van Westen has done a great service to any Joomala web designer who wants to easily control the position of modules within their sites. Great job Peter!

Hi Peter, first of all THANK YOU for publishing this excelent extension. I had problems using the loadposition original module, and your work bring me a fast and very simple solution.
