How to Run Joomla Content Plugins in Custom HTML Modules in Joomla 4

  • 30 April 2022
  • Hits: 2441
If you are using Joomla 3, please refer to the article: How to Run Joomla Content Plugins in Custom HTML Modules

Plugins such as DirectPHP, googleMaps and googleDirections are called content plugins.

As the name suggests, content plugins run inside Joomla articles, or the com_content component.

If you're using Joomla 4.0 and above, it's now very easy to run content plugins in Custom HTML Modules.

New version of googleDirections_tohere plugin - Support for Mobile GPS for Current Location

  • 25 July 2017
  • Hits: 14972

The latest versions of googleDirections_tohere plugins now support laptop / mobile GPS to access Current Location!

Users can simply press the "Get Directions" button without entering any address. The plugin will read the current location of the mobile/laptop to display the directions to the destination.

Mobile GPS

  • For mobile GPS to work for Current Location, your website must be using HTTPS (secured server).
  • The client must also allow access to its current location.

New version of googleDirections and googleDirections_tohere plugins - Support for Responsive Design

  • 20 July 2017
  • Hits: 13761

The latest versions of googleDirections and googleDirections_tohere plugins now support Responsive Design!

Have been wanting to do this for a long long time. Finally found some time to really sit down and figure out the CSS codes to enable the responsive design.

  • For larger screen, the map and the direction will be placed side by side - map on the left, directions on the right
  • For smaller screen (e.g. mobile), the map will be displayed on the top and the directions below the map
  • For iPad and iPhone 6/7 Plus, the landscape mode will show the map and directions side by side, and the portrait mode will show the map on top and directions below.

I have updated the codes across all Joomla versions all the way back to Joomla 1.0. (Not sure if there's still anyone using Joomla 1.0...)

One more thing: starting this version, I have added support for the the Joomla Update System for all the 3 related plugins. What this means is that once you have installed this version, Joomla will inform you whenever there is a new version of googleMaps, googleDirections or googleDirections_tohere. You can simply update theese plugins from within the Joomla backend at the click of a button!

New version of googleSearch (CSE) component v3.0.6 - open links in same window

  • 15 December 2016
  • Hits: 15560

Have just released a new version of googleSearch (CSE) component v3.0.6 - for Joomla 3.0 and above.

New Features

  • Added new parameter: use_https. Set this to "Yes" if your site is using https. Default is "No". This resolves the mixed content warning if you are using SSL certificate for your site:
  • Mixed Content: The page was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure script 'http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=...'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS."
  • Added new parameter: open_link_in_same_window. Set this to "Yes" if you want links to open in the same window. Default is "Yes". If set to "No", links will open in a new window.

Note

  1. For this new version, you have to uninstall the old version first and re-install the new version - so that the 2 new parameters can be added.
  2. You may want to print or take note of the original settings first before you uninstall.
  3. I find it easier to open the page of the googleSearch Config in the browser, do the uninstall and re-install, open the Config page in a new browser window, and then you can copy and paste the settings from the old to the new page.
