====== getLayoutPath ======
{#JAPI Joomla.Framework Application JModuleHelper::getLayoutPath #}
Get the path to a layout for a module
===== Syntax =====
string getLayoutPath ( **$module**, **$layout** = 'default' )
| **$module** | string | The name of the module |
| **$layout** | string | The name of the module layout |
===== Examples =====
$path = JModuleHelper::getLayoutPath('mod_newsflash', 'horiz');
echo path;
Might create:
/htdocs/joomla15/modules/mod_newsflash/tmpl/horiz.php
If a template override for the requested module exists, the path will point to the layout file in the template directory, i.e:
/htdocs/joomla15/templates/beez/html/mod_newsflash/horiz.php
**Note:** The function only tests whether a template override layout file exists and will return the default modules path instead.
If you misspell the module name, or accidently ommit the 'mod_' prefix, the resulting path may point to a non-existing file:
$path = JModuleHelper::getLayoutPath('newsflash', 'horiz');
echo path;
Might create:
/htdocs/joomla15/modules/newsflash/tmpl/horiz.php
