How to show module titles when using with Pages?

[manojLondhe]

Hi,

Wanted to show module title as set in module settings as when using with Pages.

Tried both

<ktml:modules position="pages-footer-2" params="<?= json(['showtitle' => 1], true); ?>">

and

<ktml:modules position="pages-footer-2" showtitle="1">

But it does not show module title in o/p, shows only module content,

1. params

The <ktml:modules ... > tag doesn’t support params=“<?= json([‘showtitle’ => 1], true); ?>” Params only exists for a module and are defined when you instantiate the module.

The right syntax would be:

<ktml:modules position="pages-footer-2" showtitle="1">

2. showtitle

A title in Joomla is not rendered by the module. It’s rendered by the module chrome. See: https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/staging/templates/system/html/modules.php

You can pass the info to chrome in as a style attribute, for example:

<ktml:modules position="position-2" style="xhtml">

This will render the title. This works in the same way as the jdoc:include counterpart in Joomla.

<jdoc:include type="modules" name="position-2" style="xhtml" />

The additional attributes you add to ktml:modules are injected as attribs when rendering the module, in the same way as Joomla does, you can use them in the chrome function or in the onRenderModule and onAfterRenderModule events in Joomla.

There is no way right now to override the showtitle module property for all modules when rendering through ktml:modules, the settings of the individual modules apply.

I don't think it makes much sense to make that possiblity, the only module property that this could works for is showtitle , however you can easily decide to not render any titles by not setting any chrome, which solves the problem.
