Hi all,

Marketer trying to be a developer here… 😬

If I’ve created a custom module in the design manager (in this case a video background header for our website) is there any way of adding this to the Marketplace theme we use (Quest)?

Can’t see a way of adding it directly in the Theme manager but not sure if it’s possible somehow through the usage snippet?

Hope this is the right place for this question…

Thanks,

Andy

Hi Andy,

You can’t add custom modules directly to a marketplace theme folder. However, if you create a child theme, you can achieve the same result by moving your module into the child theme. You would then have to apply your child theme to your page in order to see your module referenced as a theme module.

But your module is also available outside of that theme if you do a search for it by name.
