Module overrides with core ModuleHelper

[reilldesign]

Currently only two layouts are supported for the mod_jem (legacy & responsive layout). it would be very useful if other overrides were also possible with the help of the Joomla core ModuleHelper.

Old
require(JemHelper::getModuleLayoutPath($mod_name));

New
require ModuleHelper::getLayoutPath('mod_jem', $params->get('layout', 'default'));

You can choose 2 layouts and you can do custom by override a module layout.
Each JEM module searches in these paths and order, for example mod_jem when responsive layouts is active in JEM setting:

/templates/cassiopeia/html/mod_jem/responsive/default.php
/modules/mod_jem/tmpl/responsive/default.php
/templates/cassiopeia/html/mod_jem/default.php
/modules/mod_jem/tmpl/default.php

JEM hasn't Joomla layout, the layouts are internal by global setting, but it's true that it could change to Joomla layout. In that case, there are to change code in several parts of the modules, but it could be viable (tested) to the improvement in low priority. You have to scale it to see the convert /modules/mod_jem/tmpl/responsive/default.php to /modules/mod_jem/tmpl/responsive.php

[mckillo]

The fix of this issue is in PR #1813.

in installed the mod_jem: it's very nice and opens new possibilities! Well done

[mckillo]

Then, open this model with Joomla layout in JEM modules.
Should we change all JEM modules to use the layout settings in the module?

This issue come from #1813

This layout model for the module in Joomla needs to be exported to another JEM module. JEM basic module is finished.
