Module Prefixes

In joomla, Modules should have one of the following prefixes to aid in organization:

• Alert - This is an alert that appears at the top of the page. Use for service outage notices or other urgent communications.
• Code - Module that houses custom code that is loaded onto the website.
• Head - Any module who's content is related to the banner position. Includes breadcrumbs, page titles, and images.
• Nav - Any module that contains navigational information. Typically this is a menu item.
• Required - These modules are a core part of the website or required by university relations.
• Syndicate - These modules display content generated by Joomla or a 3rd party service. Examples include a feed of published articles or an embedded twitter feed.
• Contact - Houses contact information. Use case is very similar to Widgetkit, A new contact module will be made for each set of contact information needed. This module can then be embedded anywhere in the website and updated quickly from the module.
