Preview: Sidebar Module Migrator tool

About 3 weeks ago, we were exploring alternatives to Joomla’s default sidebar module position names. Well, Morph is now on its way to take a bold step in moving away from the default module position names for it’s sidebars.

Morph sidebar migration tool Considering all of the different layout combination’s that are possible with Morph, as well as the feedback we received on the previous blog post, we feel that the names “inner” and “outer” are more appropriate.

Problem

When you build a new website with Joomla’s sample content, it uses “left” and “right” positions to assign the default modules. Most likely, this is also how you have it on your existing live site that you want to convert to Morph.

Solution

The sidebar module migrator tool helps you move your existing modules assigned to the left/right module positions over to the new ones. It works both ways, so whether you are moving to the new positions or moving back, we have you covered. ;)

If you like this idea, or wondering what in the world we’re talking about, let us know in the comments below and we’ll get back to you. ;)
