After trying template, in last tutorial, we will try to make different layout. It is proof that more efficient if we use this scenario. We can change layout without rewrite many code.

Example 1

Create "default.php" within joomla/modules/mod_hello/tmpl. Enter following code:

<?php 
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access'); 
 
foreach($rows as $row)
{
   	modHelloHelper::renderHello($row, $params);
}
 
?>

And then, modify "mod_hello.php" within joomla/modules/mod_hello. This modify will be implemented for all next example.

<?php
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
require(dirname(__FILE__).DS.'helper.php');
 
$rows = modHelloHelper::getHello($params);
require(JModuleHelper::getLayoutPath('mod_hello'));
?>

Example 2

Now, we want to add bullet in the list. So, create file named "bulleted.php" within joomla/modules/mod_hello/tmpl. Enter following code:

<?php 
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access'); 
echo "<ul>";
 
foreach($rows as $row)
{
   echo "<li>";
   	modHelloHelper::renderHello($row, $params);
   echo "</li>";
}
 
echo "</ul>";
 
?>

If we want to choose this layout, we just modify mod_hello become:

<?php
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
require(dirname(__FILE__).DS.'helper.php');
 
$rows = modHelloHelper::getHello($params);
require(JModuleHelper::getLayoutPath('mod_hello','bulleted'));
?>

Example 3

Now, we try show few text. Modify "_hello.php" within joomla/modules/mod_hello/tmpl.

<?php 
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access'); 

echo 'ID: <A href="'. $link .'">'.$hello->id.'</A> </br>';
echo $hello->message;

?>
