Render megamenu inside a custom module.

spyrosel

Hello! I am trying to render a megamenu inside a custom module using the following code:

$t3app = T3::getApp($this);
$t3app->megamenu('mainmenu');

but all I'm getting as output is this:

<jdoc:include type="megamenu" name="mainmenu"></jdoc:include>

how can I make it work?

Hi,

You meant adding above code to a custom HTML module? I don't think it will work.

Actually I've added it to a Blank Module which is a custom Joomla module which allows you to enter php code.
Indeed it doesn't work. It instead displays:

<jdoc:include type="megamenu" name="mainmenu"></jdoc:include>

That's why I'm asking here for help ;-)

I don't know how that Blank module works, you can try this:

<jdoc:include type="<?php echo $this->getParam('navigation_type', 'megamenu') ?>" name="<?php echo $this->getParam('mm_type', 'mainmenu') ?>" />

Thank you for you answer but the snippet you've send will work for template's files only.
I want to find a way to load the megamenu as a module whenever I want and not only in a static way the template does it.

It's special element of T3, I'm afraid that it will not work that way. But you can create another instance of megamenu with this way: http://www.t3-framework.org/documentation/bs3-customization#multi-instance-megamenu

Hope this helps.
