In the coming weeks we are going to be highlighting some of the new functionality offered in Joomla 2.5. First on the list is a trick for getting modules to display in your articles along with the module title.
Let’s say your Joomla site has Google calendar in it, and you would like a list of the upcoming events to show within your article instead of in a side column. This is accomplished by using theloadposition command. First, create your upcoming events module and assign it a non-existent position like “events”. Then in the article where you’d like the module to appear simply enter {loadposition events} and the module will display in the article where specified. This {loadposition} functionality has been available for quite some time in Joomla, but Joomla 2.5 offers some added tricks for you to take advantage of.
