Module alternative layout

docs.joomla.org/J3.x:Layout_Overrides_in..._Alternative_Layouts

Why is there no option for alternative layouts?

I have created an alternative layout for mod_jdonation but the module doesn't seem to support the core joomla functionality for alternative layouts

To fix this issue, I've added the following to the mod_jdonation.xml file.

<fieldset name="advanced">
<field
name="layout"
type="modulelayout"
label="JFIELD_ALT_LAYOUT_LABEL"
description="JFIELD_ALT_MODULE_LAYOUT_DESC"
/>
</fieldset>

And the last line of mod_jdonation.php changed to

require JModuleHelper::getLayoutPath('mod_jdonation', $params->get('layout', 'default'));

Can you perhaps put it in your next update please?

Not sure why you're so insistent on hard coding these things and not following joomla standards?

Will this get added to the module? If not I have to do it all with css. Please let me know.

OK, i will add it into core of mod_jdonation.
Thanks

Hi this wasn't added to the module and so the changes I made were overwritten. This is core joomla functionality and I don't see why you need to hard code the layout.

I've provided the correct code for you. Do you think you could just copy and paste it in to the module files?

Will this get added to a future release?

Hi Russell,
Sure, i will add it into next Joom Donation version
Thanks
