When working on your Joomla 2.5 site, there may be times when you need to move modules to different parts of the page. Each module is shown in a "place holder", and these place holders are referred to as positions. To move a module to a different position, you'll need to know where each position is set in the template. For example, the footer may have a position labeled as "position-14". You need to know this position name before you can move a module to it.
This tutorial will explain you how to see module positions available in your joomla template:
(1) Login to the Joomla! backend.
(2) Select Template Manager from the Extensions menu:
(3) Click on the Options icon:
(4) Click on the Enabled button of the Preview Module Positions entry. Then click on Save or Save & Close to save the change.
(5) Observe that module positions are now visible on your Joomla! pages when you append ?tp=1 to the end of your URL:
To place a module within a particular module position, within the particular module, please choose the module position:
- Navigate to Extensions → Module Manager
- Choose your module from the module list
- Within the
Detailssection of your module configuration, chooseSelect Position
To find all modules places in a particular module position, choose the desired module position within the module list.
- Navigate to Extensions → Module Manager
- From the filters choose
Select Positions - Choose desired position from the drop down menu.
When you are done examining module positions, remember to set Preview Module Positions to Disabled.
