Joomla module positions problem

Discussion in 'Joomla' started by webbusiness23, Feb 8, 2009.

    I'm currently working with joomla on one of my sites and i have a small problem.
    There are some modules positions defined by default (user1, user2, bottom, right, left, etc...).

    My question:
    what is the position for the center of the page? (e.g. the place where the content is shown)

    I'm trying to place a module in the center of the page and i don't know the name of the position.

    Could someone give me a hint?

    It depends on your template.

    The content pane is the COMPONENT part for the template. If you have made the template yourself,then im not sure,you are unaware of the COLLAPSIBLE funda in Joomla templates.

    Well,if you want to put something in the content pane,then you have to make new module positions..
    Thats it..
    Let me know,if you have more questions.. :)

    The template is not made by me.

    I made a new module, but at the module's position i have no option for placing it in the content pane.

    I need a piece of advice...

    You made a new MODULE,but you need a NEW MODULE POSITION to place your module.
    As I said,if you want to do that,then you have to code in CSS and the index.php file of the template.. :)

    You can't put modules in the content usually, there is no position for the center of the content. You can however put the module position code in the template index.php file underneath the where the content goes so it will look like it's in the middle anyway if there's nothing else on the page.

    There is an extension though called mosModule that lets you put module positions actually within the text using the Joomla text editor - so that's probably your best bet.

    here is the extension you need to install to do that: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/944/details

    You can see your module position in the administrative area of your joomla site. If using Joomla 1.0.x go to SITE ==> PREVIEW ==> Inline with positions.

    I'm assuming that you want to put Adsense in the middle of your content. Use the Jumi plug-in and indicate where in the article you want it to appear.

    Jumi allows you to post custom javascript, php or html anywhere it's indicated and you can call up different Jumi includes.

    Yes, it's a manual fix, but it's an easy fix.

    It's not about adsense.

    It's just the fact that i want a new custom module to be placed inside the content area.

    I'll give it a try with the suggestions from above.
