Joomla Help Screens

Description¶

The Custom module type allows you to create a self-contained HTML unit and then place it in any valid location on a page.

There are many cases where free-form HTML might be shown in the administrator interface. For example, a temporary system message might be displayed at the top of all Administrator pages (th customtop position). Additional styling may be required via the Advanced tab.
