Displaying a module within the content area of Joomla 1.0 was a pain. Those days are over. Don’t live in the past. To display a module in your article:

1. Open your module for editing and assign it to a new position. Just make something up (trust me, it will work). Of course if you have it showing elsewhere, make a copy and edit that.
   

   create new user position

2. Type this where you want the module to show in your content article, i.e. : {loadposition user1234}

That’s it. Take a break and enjoy your favorite beverage. If it didn’t work, look for one of those more complicated how-to articles.

How about this for an invitation to a hack – “This website is based on Joomla – here’s the copyright date, now guess the version?” That’s about what you are saying to would-be hackers by leaving that damn generator meta tag in the head of your html document. Get rid of it already! I’m tired of looking at it.

1. Open includes/frontend.php
2. Find this code: $mainframe->addMetaTag( ‘Generator’, $_VERSION->PRODUCT . ‘ – ‘ . $_VERSION->COPYRIGHT);
3. Delete it.
4. Done.
5. Celebrate with a burrito and a beer.

You are now a stealthy Joomla! fella.
