Joomla Help Screens

Modules: Wrapper

Description¶

The Wrapper module type allows you to display an external website in a module. The functionality is the same to that of the 'iFrame Wrapper' you can add as a menu item. If the page to which the wrapper is linked is too big, bars will be shown below and to the right of the wrapper, allowing you to "navigate" the page.

Common Elements¶

Some elements of this page are covered in separate Help articles:

- To create a new module: select the New button from the Toolbar. Then...
  - Select the required module type.
- To edit an existing module:
  - Find the module in the list of installed modules and select the title link in the Title column.
