What is a section's “Module”
← BackA module is a program that renders a page instead of plain text: a form, catalog, help, chess.
An empty “Module” field means a regular text page: whatever you write in the editor is what the visitor sees.
If you enter a module name, the engine will include its code and show the page it renders. The section's text doesn't go anywhere — it's displayed above the module, and that's a convenient place for an introduction.
Commonly needed names:
forms— form and calculator builder;static— object showcase with tiles;help— knowledge base (this section);auth— login, registration, password recovery;settings— visitor's personal settings.
The engine doesn't keep a list of modules: the field is a regular text field, and any name works as long as there's a module folder for it on the server. If you get the name wrong, the page will show the section's text and nothing else.
If it didn't work
- The page is empty. Check the module name — it's written in Latin characters, exactly as the folder on the server.
- The module has its own settings. Then a “Module settings” button appears in the section window. No button — this module has no settings.
