Module Prefixes

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

This is an alert that appears at the top of the page. Use for service outage notices or other urgent communications. This module should be in the breadcrumb position and have the alert class under "advanced settings"

[Code]

Module that houses custom code that is loaded onto the website. This module should be placed in the ribbon position for CSS or debug for JS

[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 in the sidebar position.

[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, an embedded twitter feed, or an RSS feed.

[Contact]
