Where These Modules Are Usually Used
Navigation and social modules are often placed in:
- the global layout areas in Settings -> Global regions
- page sidebars
- article pages
- footer sections
They help visitors move around the site, share content, and reach your brand profiles.
breadcrumb
Use this when you want visitors to see where they are in the site.
It is especially useful on:
- article pages
- team pages
- league pages
- match pages
The breadcrumb builds itself from the current page context, so it usually needs little or no setup.
On news templates it can now build the trail from the current article or archive view, including:
- the site home page
- the current category or tag when available
- the article title on single post pages
menu
The menu module renders one of the menus you created in the Menus section of the CMS.
Typical uses:
- horizontal navigation in the header
- vertical navigation in a sidebar
- link groups in the footer
Keep your menus simple. A smaller, clearer structure is usually better than a very deep one.
share-buttons
This module adds sharing actions for the current page.
It works well on:
- article pages
- campaign pages
- important landing pages
If your site publishes a lot of editorial content, this is one of the simplest modules to add near the article body.
social-links
This module shows the public social profiles configured in Settings -> Social.
That makes it ideal for:
- header utility areas
- footer blocks
- contact pages
- author or brand sections
If a platform is empty in Settings -> Social, it will not have anything useful to show here.
separator / divider
Use this when you want a visual break between sections.
Good uses:
- between content blocks on a long page
- above footer link groups
- between promotional modules and editorial content
It is a small module, but it often improves readability.
html
Use the HTML module only when you need custom markup that does not fit the normal module catalog.
Examples:
- a third-party embed
- a small custom block from a partner
- a special disclaimer or badge area
Use it carefully. If a dedicated module exists, that is usually the better long-term choice.
related-links and sitemap-links
These modules are useful when you want to reinforce navigation and internal linking.
related-linksis good for curated lists such as "More leagues" or "Useful links".sitemap-linksis good for larger footer-style navigation blocks.
