Greetings In Joomla 1.6, can you create custom module positions or are you limited to the ones already there? Thanx
in joomla, module position depend on the template. If its available on the template then you can put your module on that position. If you want to make custom position then you have to add the position code on your template (index.php) then add the information on templatedetails.xml Try to look where the module position take place by adding ?tp=1 in url (e.g localhost/yoursite/index.php?tp=1) but in joomla 1.6 you have to enable the preview module positions to make it works. Go to extension -> template manager -> Option -> change preview module positions to enable (disable by default)
Im building my own template, and ive used all the positions currently available like, header, top, left user 1, etc etc etc. So i want to create some new ones, so i can just add them to my index page and then add them to the templatedetails.xml? Ill give that a go!
