Documentation for Joomla Advanced Custom Module (ACM)

brucebutton

I'm moving my site over to the Athena template while upgrading to Joomla 4. Is there any documentation for the ACM module which is included with Athena? I have found some notes on ACM on the JA site under other templates, but it is a little sketchy and not always applicable to the options available with Athena.

Thank you in advance!

Hi Bruce,

JA ACM is advanced custom html module only, each template will support special types of this module.

You can tell me how you want to achieve with JA ACM module in Athena template so I can help.

Thank you for your reply, Saguaros.

At this stage I am trying to get an overview of what can be done with ACM. I was hoping for documentation which provides this overall picture, rather than having to fiddle with all the options in the module settings to figure out how each of them works and what they can do. Once I know what they can do it isn't so hard to do it, but it's a bit tedious trying to work out the possibilities by trial and error.

It would be most helpful if this kind of summary could be added to the documentation at some stage.

Best regards
Bruce

Hi Bruce,

I understand, but for every template which supports JA ACM module, we already provides guideline of how to set up alike our demo site so you can see how it works: https://www.joomlart.com/documentation/joomla-templates/ja-athena#landing-pages

For example:

An easy way is that you can download Quickstart package of this template and install into your local environment / test / dev site with sample data, it will look like our demo setup and you can see how we configure JA ACM module and how it works there.

Thank you, Saguaros. I am using the demo setup for guidance — and it is really helpful! — but there are some variations not covered there. It's not a problem, though; I will figure it out.

Best regards
