"Latest Properties" on front page

[Chimp]

I'd like to inset the "latest properties" module into a content page (the front page) and I was wondering if there is a way to do it (easily that is) ?

Hello Chimp,

You can use modulebot (http://mamboforge.net/frs/download.p.../modulebot.zip) to load the latest properties module to frontpage's content. Give it a try

Cheers!

unfortunately it seems reluctant to install. I notice that mamboforge has another version in dev but I am out of luck at this time aparently

It was released for an earlier version of Mambo, pretty old, but definitely useful. You can not install it through the installer, apparently, you need to copy over the files manually to the mambot directory:

================================================== ===

This mambot displays any module inside a content item.

-----------------------------------------------------

Installation:
Copy the following files to the /mambots directory:
modulebot.php
modulbot.inc

-----------------------------------------------------

Usage:
{modulebot module=somemoduletitle} - this is the title of the module as
can be seen in the Module Manager. Module titles can also be seen with the
list bot below.
{modulebot user1} - Where "user1" is any module block position.
{modulebot list} - Displays a list of available modules and block positions.

-----------------------------------------------------

Warnings and Restrictions:
Certain modules (for example Newsflash and Polls) cannot be called twice on
the same page and will cause errors.

This mambot has not been tested with all existing modules.

This mambot has not been tested with all existing mambots, but is known not
to conflict with any core mambots.

By default, the module will fill the width of the content area. If you wish
to control the width and positioning of modules in content area, you will
want to enclose the modulebot tag(s) in a div and either assign a class to
controll the display in your template_css.css file, or use inline styles (if
you are using a WYSIWYG editor such as htmlarea2, you will need to switch to
source mode in order to create the <div> tag).

In the interim I found this thread
http://forum.mamboserver.com/showthr...ight=modulebot
and an adaptation of the bot that will come as standard in the next version of Mambo, which is called mosloadposition. It can be downoaded here.
http://forum.mamboserver.com/attachm...tachmentid=561
the syntax is {mosloadposition user1}, it installs via the admin panel and it works like a charm. Thanks for all your help!!

Thanks for the links, Chimp!

Thread has been moved to "Mambo Tips & Tricks" forum.

The Bot has become core (in Jommla i don't know for Mambo?) so no need to download.

Greats
