TextCMS Documentation - Modules

Modules are located in folder "_modules". They have "mod" extension. They are PHP files with reusable embeddable contents. Modules can be embedded everywhere: in areas, in articles and even directly in templates (though it is not recommended, because templates are usually independent from web site contents, and you never know which modules exist on a web site).

For example if you want to create a bunch of embeddable links as a module "menu", you can do this by placing the following content into "_modules\menu.mod":

[LINK art=about]About My Site[/LINK]
[LINK art=help]Help[/LINK]

It is very common to use images inside modules. This can be done using a special plugin IMAGE. Here is the easiest way to do this:

1. Create a subfolder inside "_modules" folder: "_modules/_(module_name)". For example for module "menu" you'd need to create folder "_modules/_menu"
2. Copy image file there (for example "menu.png")
3. In the module add the image as follow: [IMAGE](name_of_image_file).png[/IMAGE].

Full module text with image on the left could look like

[IMAGE]menu.png[/IMAGE]
[LINK art=about]About My Site[/LINK]
[LINK art=help]Help[/LINK]

Modules are important elements of a TextCMS web site, but they are implemented as an internal plugin. Please check out the MODULE plugin documentation.
