Joomla, add position into file

Question

I want to connect my Joomla module with position.

How can I create this position (user position)? Where is this file in the template?

Answer 1

In general each template includes some positions, first check the positions available
in your template.

Go to System > Global Configuration > Templates
From here enable the option Preview Module Positions.

Now if you go to Extensions > Templates
You can click in the little eye icon or add in your url something like:

• yoursite.com/?tp=1

Now you can go to Extensions > Modules > Your Module, here select the position
of your choice.

Answer 2

If you have to create new positions (not defined in your current template) you have to edit /templates/template_name/index.php and add a jdoc:include statement where you need:

<jdoc:include type="modules" name="new-position" style="xhtml" />

Then edit /templates/template_name/templateDetails.xml adding the position:

<positions>
    ...
    <position>new-position</position>
    ...
</positions>

In some templates, positions could not be in index.php, in that case search for other files that defines the template layout (always in /template/template_name/ folder or subdirectories).
