    <p>I'm going to disagree with <strong>Hanny</strong>. I think the answer is no, not as you describe.</p> <p>The template knows when it has reached a module position, and it gets a list of modules assigned to that position, then calls for them to be rendered. But it doesn't pass that information on. It's not stored in JApplication or JDocument etc either (like, nothing stores where in the template the rendering is up to or anything).</p> <p>There are some hacky ways to almost get what you want though. If you know the template positions you need to search (sadly there's no easy method for getting this from the template - otherwise you could parse your template's .XML file for <code>&lt;position&gt;</code> elements...), then you could do something like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $positions = array('left', 'right', 'top', 'bottom') $found_in = false; foreach ($positions as $cur_position) { $module_positions = JModuleHelper::getModules($cur_position); foreach ($module_positions as $cur_module_in_pos) { if ($cur_module_in_pos-&gt;module == 'mod_MYMODULE') { $found_in = $cur_position; } } } if ($found_in) ... </code></pre> <p>Of course, this doesn't work well if your module is included multiple times on the page, but maybe that's an assumption you can make?</p> <p>Otherwise it'd be up to hacking the core - you could use a <code>JDispatcher::trigger()</code> call before the template calls a module, set some var etc. Unfortunately there's no such event in core to start (a <code>pre_module_render</code> or something).</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
