====== getModule ======
{#JAPI Joomla.Framework Application JModuleHelper::getModule #}

Get a module by name

===== Syntax =====
object &getModule ( **$name** )

| **$name** | string | The name of the module w/o the 'mod_' prefix |

===== Examples =====
<code php|Example>
$module = &JModuleHelper::getModule('banners');
echo JModuleHelper::renderModule($module);
</code>

The example might render the following HTML snippet:
<code html|Example output>
  <div class="bannergroup">
    <div class="banneritem">
      custom banner text
    <div class="clr"></div>
    </div>
  </div>
</code>

This is essentially the same as using %%<jdoc:include type="module" name="banners" style="none" />%%  in the site template.
