Hi,
when I access the template manager and the Fronpage template, I want to add side module, that will go along the main page text. Now in the modules I dont see that module? Dont know how you call it, component, mainpage or whatever, but how do I get/assign position for that piece.

When I change the layout "home" positioning to "side-left" I can see Auto-Component.

How do I get this to the "home" layout?

Thanks,
Gorast

Are you able to use the default layout instead of "home"?

Please be aware changing layouts can reset the position widths

I can use the default, but wouldn't that change the whole look of the template? I will loose the New Lifestyle layout, right?

Are you using the tabs on the home page?

Yes.

Right ok

I'll check with a developer on this and get back to you

Hi,

The homepage template is designed to remove the main component and only show modules.
You should not edit this directly as the changes will be wiped out in an upgrade.

In the layout screen save the homepage layout as a new name (eg home_custom) and then browse to the file in the template folder
/tpls/home_custom.php

open that file and then copy the block from the default layout into that file:It will then show up in your new home_custom layout.

Regards,

Rob

Hi,
on what line do I copy the code:

<?php if (!$hide_mainbody) : ?>
<?php $this->loadBlock ('mainbody') ?>
<?php endif; ?>

?

Hi Gorast,

You need to place it between the existing blocks where you want the content to appear.
