What is a section's “Module”
← BackA module is a program that renders a page instead of plain text: a form, a catalog, help, chess. It is selected with the "Select" button from the module store.
An empty "Module" field means a regular page: whatever you wrote in the editor is what the visitor will see, and if the section has subsections or objects, they are displayed below the text.
If you specify a module, the engine will load its code and show the page that it renders. The section text doesn't go anywhere in this case — it is displayed above the module, and this is a handy place for an introduction.
The easiest way is to choose a module with the "Select" button to the right of the field: the "Module store" will open — a list with search, category breakdown and a description of each module. The "Select this module" button will insert its code into the field. More details are in the article about the module store.
You can also type the code by hand. Frequently needed ones:
forms— form and calculator builder;static— a regular page with subsections and objects (same as an empty field);help— knowledge base (this section);auth— login, registration, password recovery;settings— the visitor's personal settings.
If you make a mistake in the name, the page will show the section text and nothing else.
If it didn't work
- Instead of the module — a regular page with text. Check the module name: with a typo the section is displayed as a regular page. The name is written in Latin letters, exactly as in the module store card ("Module code:").
- You changed the module, but the new one's settings are missing. Save the section and open it again — after that the new module's settings will appear.
- The module has its own settings. Then the "Module settings" button appears in the section window. No button — this module has no settings.
