The Easy Folder Listing Pro 3.0 Companion Module is a convenience extension that uses the Companion Content Plugin to display listings in module positions. Please note that without the content plugin, no listings will be rendered. All the options for the listing are configured in the component administration, and you only need to configure module only options in the Module Manager. As such, most of the documentation regarding configuring the listings is accessed via the help icons in the component views.

Please note that if you want to display a listing in the article body, do not use the Companion Module with the Joomla built-in Load Position plugin. Instead, use the Easy Folder Listing Pro Content Plugin directly.
