Refmods

Refmods, or Reference Modules, are modules which have been included into other modules. This means that the Refmod will be rendered as a part of the including module, at it’s designated position.

Rendering

Refmods are rendered in an iframe the same way that modules are rendered. Configuration is exposed so that each Refmod can be configured independently.

To non-technical developers

To non-technical developers Refmods are new instances of a configurable or customizable module. Non-technical developers can also learn to compose novel content using Refmods in combination. This is especially true if the technical developer have designed Refmods which intentionally work together by composition. In that case, both selection and configuration will allow non-technical developers to be creative.

UFiles and SFiles associated to a module can also be re-mapped when a Refmod is used to render the module. This allows developers the option of borrowing a module but managing their own data for their own users.
