With Modules Anywhere you can include a single module or complete module positions anywhere in your site, including within 3rd party components and even within other modules.
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.
* 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Modules Anywhere does not show unpublished Modules by default. If you do want it to, you can change that behavior through the plugin parameters.

This is by far one of the best extensions that I installed to date. It works like a charm. If you do not have JCE version 1.5.6, upgrade. The JCE editor causes some problems that are not related to Modules Anywhere but affects the functionality of Modules Anywhere in the editor.
Nice work!
Nice work!
It's a must have plugin, easy to use, and it's free ;)
Thank you very much, Peter.
But I have one problem to report, that is the pagination of module return an error direction, (return error weather click to other pages or 'next' link).

Thanks for the review.
Please post your error report on my forum so we can discuss it...
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.

Thanks for your review! Have you tried out my newest 3 extensions yet? (see my website).
This guy makes solid stuff... click his name, then check what he makes and download it all.. because it will work!
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've used this on many sites with all the leading template developers and I highly recommend it.

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.
Absolutely perfect. I like things that work. Took longer to download and install than it did to use it
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!
