FAQ

What types of modules does this work with?

• Works with all Joomla modules - core modules (Articles, Custom HTML, Menu, etc.) and any third-party modules. Since it exports from the database, it captures all parameters regardless of module type.

Can I export parameters from a module and import them into a different module type?

• Technically yes, but only parameters with matching field names will be imported. It's recommended to import into the same module type for best results.

Does this work with subform/repeatable fields?

• Yes! The plugin fully supports subform fields. All rows are exported as arrays, and import automatically creates the required rows.

What about editor fields like TinyMCE?

• Editor fields are fully supported. The plugin uses JoomlaEditor API to properly extract and insert editor content.

Can I use this to migrate modules between Joomla sites?

• Yes, you can export parameters from one site and import them into another site, as long as both sites have the same module type installed.

What if the module hasn't been saved yet?

• The plugin requires the module to be saved (have a database ID) before export/import. Save the module first, then use export/import.

Will importing overwrite my current module settings?

• Yes, importing will replace all existing parameters. The confirmation modal warns you and shows the parameter count. Always export current settings as backup before importing.

Is there a way to see what will be imported before confirming?

• The confirmation modal shows the number of parameters that will be imported. You can also open the JSON file in a text editor to see the parameter names and values before importing.

Does this work with Joomla 4, 5, and 6?

• Yes, the plugin is fully compatible with Joomla 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x.

Can I export from admin modules and import to site modules (or vice versa)?

• Yes, as long as the module type is the same and has compatible parameters. The plugin works with both site and administrator modules.
