Step 1: Set up the module

Let's first create a module for use with this example.

1. Go to "Extensions - Module Manager". Look for the module "Main Menu". Check the box besides the title, and choose "Copy" from the menu
2. You will see a new module called "Copy of Main Menu" appearing below the original "Main Meu".
3. Click on "Copy of Main Menu". First make sure Enabled is set at 'Yes'.
4. Now, for the field "Position", first take a look at the entire list of the module positions in the pulldown menu. Then choose a new module name and just type it in there. Yes, just manually type it in, since it will not be in the pulldown selection list. This is a combobox that allows you to add new items by typing the new item in the entry field. In this example, I've chosen the new module name to be user201 as shown below..
5. In the field "Menu Assignment", for Menus, make sure you select "All":
6. Save the module.

Step 2: Create the content page

We will now create a content item for containing the module.

1. Go to Article Manager and create a new article.
2. In the article, enter the following:

This is a test to include a module inside a content page.

3. Note that the module name after loadposition has to match the module position you have created in Step 1.
4. That's it! Save the article. We're all set!

Step 3: Let's test it

Now load the article. Did you see the "Main Menu" appearing inside that article similar to the following?

Note: If you wish to put this as the front page, go to menu item Manager - Main Menu, create a menu item linked to this content page, then move it to the first item. The page with the embedded module (for example, it could be a slideshow module) will become the front page.

1. Creata a new file called browser_detection.php and upload it to your Joomla! site.
2. Edit icon.php in 2 places and upload it to your Joomla! site.

the order is important, because opera must be tested first, and ie4 tested for before ie general
same for konqueror, then safari, then gecko, since safari navigator user agent id's with 'gecko' in string.
note that $dom_browser is set for all  modern dom browsers, this gives you a default to use, unfortunately we
haven't figured out a way to do this with actual method testing, which would be much better and reliable.
 
Please note: you have to call the function in order to get access to the variables, you call it by this:
 
browser_detection('browser');
 
then put you code that you want to use the variables with after that.
