Is there a visual description where the modul positions are placed ?

I have small trouble of finding out where to place my modules in the templates..

Hi GB,

The module images are generally on the demo sites under them menu item module position. Which template in particular were you looking at?

Also in joomla 1.5 you can display the module son your site by adding tp=1 after the index.php reference in the url. So it might look like this:

www.mysite.com/index.php?tp=1

Thanks Anthony

I can see the module positions in the template now with the index.php?tp=1 but which module should be placed where within template ?

Shape5 has a very useful description of how to place modules in their templates to have the look just as it was intended for.

Ah sorry - THe maxbiz moduel layout is under the layout tab on the demo site.

The new site Im in the process of building will have it all in one place.

Thanks Anthony

Ok - found the layout section of placed module positions but it would be great to know, which modules you recommend to place there to get the Design you are intended...so I can get the same template view as your demo.

Yep sorry Ive done that on most of the other templates and it will be included in the new doc section. But for the time being:

User 1 - Joomla main menu module set to legacy flat list
User 4 - Search
Top - Extended Menu module displaying the Superfish
Advert1 - JB Tabs
Advert2 - Micro Blog Mdoule
User 5 and user 6 - Custom html module
Right - Custom module with icons (there is an article regarding the html for this)
Right - Testimonials (Custom html module)
Right - Contact (Custom HTML)
User8 - Joomla Menu module (flat list legacy)
User9 - Login (In joomla 1.5 using a login override)
Bottom - Cusomt HTML
Footer - Custom HTML

Hope that helps.

Anthony

Anthony,

your list helps. Thanks a lot for this.

Setting up the Max Biz Template is tricky and there's one more question:

How can I use the extended menu twice for setting up the right sub menu in addition to the top menu?

Anthony,

thanks a lot for your list.

Setting up the Max Biz Template caused another question:

How can I use the extended menu for two menu modules, one for the top and one for the right sub menu?

Do I have to install anything else than the extended menu for this? (e.g. superfish module extension?)


Sorry for this, I'm a newbie...

br,

Ilias

No probs this is actually a limitation in the extended menu module (I think) ...

you can duplicate the menu by clicking on the radio checkbox next to it and then clicking copy at the top right corner.

Cheers Anthony

It's that easy... it works!

Thanks you very much Anthony.

Great no probs
