Problems with image gallery in article as module.

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Hello, I've made an image gallery in zentools2, v. 1.0.9, pulling images and content from a category.
It works fine assigned to a template position, but not to an article using joomla (3.4) loadmodule or loadposition.
"Content - Load Modules" plugin is enabled.
loadmodule: have tried module name, also moduletype, comma, followed by module title
nothing
If I type the following in an article {loadmodule Zentools2}, it breaks the site - whole site is a blank page. I just say this out of interest.
(I followed these instructions: docs.joomla.org/How_do_you_put_a_module_inside_an_article%3F)

Stumped!
The only unusual thing I can see is that if I mouse over the title in the module list, it comes up underlined with a preceding space in the " Title" (something to do with the zentools2 icon/image just to the left of it?)
All the other module titles don't show this preceding space in the title.

Also tried "modules anywhere", also doesn't work!!!

Help! please, John

Yes, other modules like login do work

Hi John,

With loadposition you commonly do need to have jquery loading via the zentools settings - is that eabled?

Hi john,

Is there a particular reason you are using loadmodule over loadposition?

No, when one didn't work, I went to the other.

Cannot get either to work.

Here is the frontend, back in a template module position:
pueu.org/drsong/

I keep thinking it is something simple.

Did you see my comment that the title in the backend module list has a preceeding space? (see attachment)

What position name were you using for the module loadposition?

It works, as said, on template positions, as you saw.

For the plugin in articles:
Go to the module position, type its own position name .. prostatitis-1
hit "enter"
Save

{loadposition prostatitis-1}

(home page article) - It now shows the Title of the slideshow only
pueu.org/drsong/

I've tried every variation of the above incl. loadmodule

I left it like that for 40 mins but had to put it back to a working template position for a colleague to see.

I'll change it back now, in 5 mins please.
