jdoc style values for Joomla 2.5 template

Question

I'm creating an HTML5 template in Joomla 2.5 and I wanted to know what are my options for the style attribute in the code below?

<jdoc:include type="modules" name="top" style="???" />

Answer 1

Open templates\system\html\modules.php. There are defined system styles, like xhtml, rounded etc. You can also see the code how each style will be rendered.

If you want to add your own style, you need to create a new module chrome. In your template html folder (not system, don't edit above file), create file called modules.php.

Inside, make a function like this

defined('_JEXEC') or die;

function modChrome_mystyle($module, &$params, &$attribs)
{
    if (!empty ($module->content)) : ?>
             <div class="moduletable">
                  <?php if ($module->showtitle != 0) : ?>
                       <h3><?php echo $module->title; ?></h3>
                  <?php endif; ?>
                  <?php echo $module->content; ?>
            </div>
    <?php endif;
}

This way you can create custom module outputs, just edit the code the way you want.

Then, in your template file, include the module with

     <jdoc:include type="modules" name="top" style="mystyle" />
