Get Module ID or Title - joomla

Question

I' am using Joomla 3, I have module called "Who we Are" and it's being displayed on position "top_row2". I' am trying to get this modules ID and modules Name.
After Searching I found few solutions which doesn't seem to work for me.
Solution 1
jimport( 'joomla.application.module.helper' );
$module = JModuleHelper::getModule('Who we Are');
echo $module->id;
Solution 2
jimport( 'joomla.application.module.helper' );
$module = JModuleHelper::getModules('Who we Are');
echo $module->id;
//Note the "s" in getModules
Solution 3
global $module;
$module->id;
$module->title;
I' am using this solutions on the override PHP files of this Module.
Location:: templates\corporate_response\html\mod_mymodule_item.php

Answer 1

You can define your own unique Class under "Module Class Suffix" and in your module override item page do a conditional to check which module is being rendered into the page

Answer 2

This might help explain calling modules in overrides.
To call a Joomla! module with the title in a template override:
jimport('joomla.application.module.helper');
$modules = JModuleHelper::getModules('position');
foreach($modules as $module) {
echo '<h3>' . $module->title . '</h3>';
echo JModuleHelper::renderModule($module);
}
This will call the module id.
echo $module->id;
This will call the module title in H3, adjust to what you need.
echo '<h3>' . $module->title . '</h3>';
This part will render the module.
echo JModuleHelper::renderModule($module);

Answer 3

You can get all modules by position and then select by title like this:
$module = false;
if ($modules = JModuleHelper::getModules('top_row2')) {
foreach ($modules as $module2) {
if ($module2->title == 'Who we Are') {
$module = $module2;
break;
}
}
}
if ($module) {
printf(
'Found module with name "%s" and id "%d"',
$module->name,
$module->id
);
} else {
echo "Found no matching module.";
}

Answer 4

If someone ever has the same question:
Within the modules code you can simply use the variable $module which contains all information about this specific module like id, title, position, ...
