05: Module HTML

It is essential that the frontend.php file is present for a module to function. This file should be placed in the /includes/ directory of your module, as shown in the example below.

/wp-content/my-plugin/my-module/includes/frontend.php

The frontend.php file is used to render the HTML markup for each individual instance of your module and provides access to the full WordPress environment in addition to the following variables.

$module Object

An instance of your module class that has all of the properties and methods of the parent FLBuilderModule class in addition to the properties and methods that you define.

$id String

The module's node ID.

$settings Object

An object that contains the module settings you defined when registering your module. Use these to output content or check for certain conditions before doing so.

<div class="fl-example-text">
  <?php echo $settings->textarea_field; ?>
  <?php $module->example_method(); ?>
</div>
