Display in a module

I have a database of items and I want to randomly display one of them on the right of the page. No problems with the random selection, what I can't figure out is how to get the display where I want it. I'm a newbie to Joomla!.

Hi broberts,

Typically you can't use PHP in a standard module. There are a few specialist modules that will let you do it. FAQ43 points to the Content Item module that will let you put a ChronoForms form in a module (a 'CF form' doesn't have to be a form, you can put any php+html into the form html box and it will be displayed).

The Jumi module is also very good at letting you put code directly in modules. I've only used the Jooma 1.0 version but I see that there is a native 1.5 version too, my recollection is that the documentation was in anglo-checkoslovakian and a bit obscure.

Hi broberts,

and you will need to have a mambot for ChronoConnectivity which is not available yet!

Thanks for the tip on Jumi. I ended up writing the php code myself and used Jumi.

anyone can tell me how can i achive this with jumi or other module?

i only used jumi to open another custom php page, i dont know how to open the information in the main content

with the "content item" module i didnt find a way to do this

i tried wrapper too but it slowed my page and lost the css inside the wrapper

Hi, what are you trying to show in the module exactly ?

Max
