I was trying to use custom module chrome ("/templates/MYTEMPLATE/html/modules.php") with Simple RSS Feed Reader, but the module did not detect the custom file. Instead the module content was displayed without any chrome at all (that is the "moduletable" class div and headline, that's usually wrapped around the module output). The custom module chrome worked with other modules though.

I was able to track the problem down and found a bugfix that requires core file modification. In file "modules/mod_jw_srfr/mod_jw_srfr.php", rename the variable "$template" in lines 34 and 66 (I simply chose the name $template2). Otherwise Joomla confuses the name of the SRFR template withe the name of the Joomla template and builds a non-existing URL (in file "/libraries/cms/module/helper.php", function "renderModule").

I hope this helps the developers as well as people who get the same error.

Hello and thank you for sharing this.

You're welcome. :)

Hi,

Sorry for reactivating this old topic, but...

I just updated SRFR to version 3.3 and ran into strange problems. Fortunately I remembered there had been an issue with custom module chrome. Unfortunately the old bug described in the initial post is still present. I hope you find the time to implement a fix with your next update.

Thank you for your feedback.
It will be changed in the next version.

In the meantime you can get the latest dev release from: github.com/joomlaworks/simple-rss-feed-reader (use the "Download ZIP" button on the right column)
