Module Manager
At the module manager page you can manage all your mall modules that appear at the storefront. You can arrange your modules, change the module settings and even create custom content modules.
A wide variety of modules is available for the shop, like category modules, category bars,product filters, price filters, search bars and search boxes, vendor information modules,etc.
Please note: Although the module manager offers many modules, that are meant to be displayed at vendor pages, these modules aren’t customizable by vendors. The modules that are manageable at the module manager appear mall wide and use the same general settings, even if they are set to display at vendor pages.
If you want to use or manage the vendor specific versions of the modules use the “Vendor Module Manager”. The vendor module manager allows you to change the style settings, the layout position and many other settings of vendor modules separately for each vendor. The vendor module manager also allows you to create custom modules for a specific vendor.
The active template section:
The active template section gives you information about the current template and the available layout positions of the current skin template.
The usually available module positions are: bottom_a, bottom_b, bottom_bar, bottom_c,cart, categories, footer, headerbar, inner_bottom, inner_top, international, left_1, left_2,logo, over_top_bar, right_1, right_2, search, social, top_a, top_b, top_bar, top_c
The available modules form:
The available modules form shows an overview of all the available modules of your shop and allows you to easily manage your modules.
The information shown for each module includes the module title, if the module is active,the layout position of the module, the sorting priority of the module, the pages the module is set for, the module type, the internal module ID number, and if language specific versions of the module are available for this module
The top bar of the form offers a search functionality where you can search for a specific module title or module type. Type in the name or part of the name you are looking for and click on the “Go” button to only display modules, that match your search string.
Several drop down boxes also allow you to filter the displayed modules.
The “Active” drop down box allows you to only display active or disabled modules.
The “Position” drop down box allows you to only display modules that are available at specific layout positions.
The “Pages” drop down box allows you to only display modules that are set for certain pages.
Leave the drop down selections at “Any” if you don’t want to use this filter.
You can also combine the filters in the drop down boxes and the search string.
e.g.: If you are looking for a “bar” that is set at the homepage, you can select “home” at the pages filter and then enter bar and click on the “Go” button. This will display all modules with the “bar” type or name that are set to display at the homepage.
