• valid xhtml

Installation:

• Install it the usual way on your Joomla! site

• the Parameter options on the right pane offer popup help information when moving with the mouse cursor over the option-titles

How to use the module in a content item/article:

The All weblinks Module may be used in Module-position (that's what the module is mainly made for!) but it can also be used to display customizable linklists in a content item/article (just like in this demo):

• in the Module Manager for this module enter a custom position-name (the text-field is editable) like e.g.: 'allWeblinks_1'
• goto Plugin Manager and enable the 'Content - Load module' plugin (it should already be installed with the normal Joomla! installation)
• goto your article and insert { loadposition allWeblinks_1} (omit the space after the opening brace/curly bracket '{')
• done!
• you can have as many All Weblinks modules as you need on one page or on your site, just copy the module and give it a custom position-name (don't forget to enable and adjust the just copied module!)

How to use the 'Module Class Suffix':

• For customizing the layout of the module, the "Module Class Suffix" parameter may be used with the implemented css styles:

  insert:

  • _lnkcols
    for having the links in colums below the categories, see example 1.
  • _catcols
    for having the categories in colums (with the links below-in one column, of course!-), see example 2.
  • leave blank
    for having a list of links in one column below the category (normal module layout!), see the module (example 3) on the top right side of this page

How does the 'link tooltip' logic works:

'Link tooltip', 'on mmouse over' or 'hover-text' behaviour logic:

• If a popup-text is inserted: this text will always be displayed
• if 'show link description' is enabled:
  • if 'use real-url' is enabled: the real-url is displayed
  • if 'use real-url' is disabled: the link-title is displayed
• if 'show link description' is disabled:
  • if there is a link-description for the link: the description text will be displayed
  • if there is no link-description for the link:
    • if 'use real-url' is enabled: the real-url is displayed
    • if 'use real-url' is disabled: the link-title is displayed

Examples:

[Parameter settings: dropdown active with default icon, show no. of links per category, show category description disabled, custom icon for links, use a custom tooltip/popup text for the links, show hits disabled, show new links disabled, show link description, real-url enabled, layout: link cols]
