Hooking Modules into CMS (or Subcategory) Pages

[RegularJohn]

Hey,

 

I've been following a whole load of stuff on these forums for a long time and have found various threads on the subject but they are all now COMPLETELY obsolete.

 

My question is:

 

How do I position a module (in my case a JQuery based slideshow) into a CMS page of my website?

 

As I have said the files that are featured in the tutorials of the other threads have either been changed or (for the really old references) apparently amalgamated into new areas of the FTP files.

 

So I'm looking for an answer (and any additional information on this subject) that works for Version 1.4.5.1 (that preferably does not involve plugin stuff).

 

Thanks in advance (that is if anybody ever reads this)!

Bump. Just bump. Seriously guys I've spent a long time looking for solutions to this and any attempts at hooking stop when it does not become possible to reference a CMS page.

 

Help

if you don't need dynamic content, you can add script directly to cms page content. Click to HTML button on MCE toolbar and insert any html code you want.

 

For dynamic content I see two ways, the first one is to request data with ajax from the script added to page content html.

The second - use smarty plugin function.

Earlier I used {insert} smarty tag but it's deprecated from Smarty 3

@Otzy could you do me and 'thinks' a favor and make us a guide for this. It sounds like you know what you're doing and some instructions would be class.

 

Thanks mate
