How to create new module position in WN2

hello sirs,

1) Can you please help. I want to add a new module position to the world news template. I want it to be above the logo, etc.

I have read the guide at:
https://www.gavick.com/documentation/jo ... -position/

but I dont have the DIR: /lib/framework, neither do I have the file "gk.const.php"

I have added the position to the template_details.xml. What is the filename where Im supposed to call the position from.

2) I also observed that if I try to place a module in the "register position", the position still shows register. In fact, if I place a date module in the register position, I get the error "restricted access".

whats with the register position, and how can I place something else there?

BTW, im on Joomla 1.5, and using the template quickstart

regards

HI

Register is just a button opening a popup with "register" position, so please do not use it for anything different than register module.

For new module position please send me joomla panel access and ftp access to Your site, so I'll do this for You.

hello there,

I would like to know how its done so that I could do it next time.

if you could give me an example and where to place the code, ill try to figure it out.

regards

Hi

This is the exact instruction: https://www.gavick.com/documentation/jo ... -position/

But just to make it shorter and easier the rule is this:

1. Add new position to templateDetails.xml

Code: Select all

<position>new_position</position>


2. In a template's html located in /layouts place a code to load module positon:

Code: Select all

<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”new_position” />
