Regards,

Kindly check the layout settings of template: Admin panel > Extensions > Templates > JA University > Layout tab and see which layout are you using.

If there is still no go, you can share the credentials of your site: URL, Admin + FTP account so we can check for you.

Hi kouliga

You have 2 ways in joomla to add positions

1) Manually write position name in position field for module
2) Add your position name in file templateDetails.xml in positions section in this way

<position>yourpositionname</position>

I added now department position

kouliga Please could you help me to add content-mass-top and contentslider positions??

1) Content-mass-top position :

You can kindly view the documentation excerpt for Module titled - JA Sidenews Module following which you can also see back-end settings for configuring the same. This will help in further course in configuring and setting up the specific module for respective position

2) Contentslider position :
Kindly find screenshot for the JA content slider configured for specific position as seen in demo site.
Documentation for configuring the same

Also, You can install quickstart package as this will give you replica of the demo site which you can customize and configure further accordingly for particular extensions, layouts e.t.c.

Another issue i have concerns the space between the mainmenu elements! i would want to reduce these space to get all the elements on the same line and get a with background color.

To avoid multiplicity of varied forum posts in one topic which eventually will lead to confusion, Please start new discussion for the relative topic

Hi,

Thanks for your answer!!

Please, my problems did not concerns how to configure modules as describe in the quickstart package, but how to find the positions when i installed JA University Template T3 on an existing websites!
In the list of template positions, I can not find positions that are called contentslider, navhelper whatever the layout i choose.

For the space between mainmenu elements, i will created a new topic as ypu said.

Your help will be appreciated to find them.

In case these positions don't show in dropdown list of position option inside module settings, you can open the file:

root/templates/ja_university_t3/templateDetails.xml

And add these position like this: http://prntscr.com/jdjexw

<position>department</position>
<position>content-mass-top</position>
<position>contentslider</position>

kouliga In the list of template positions, I can not find positions that are called contentslider, navhelper whatever the layout i choose.

I can see both the positions - content-mass-top and navhelper in your dropdown from position selection while going to any specific module

Infact, You have assigned module to content-mass-top as seen in screenshot taken from your site

Nevertheless, If the specific position is not seen, You can add it in templateDetails.xml as suggested by @saguaros and follow the excerpts from documentation here primarily for Step#4 wherein you can also enter the position manually and press enter.

The respective module in specific position should appear then if already seen in pre-defined block layout of specific template and also, depending upon the configurations/menu assignments

Hi, Thanks for your reply.
If it is just add these code in the templateDetails.xml file, why i cannot find somethings like that in the same file of the quickstart package?? while these positions are in the dropdown list of position option inside module settings of the quickstart.

Thank you for giving me more clarification

aman204 The respective module in specific position should appear then if already seen in pre-defined block layout of specific template and also, depending upon the configurations/menu assignments

Yes, that's the problem I have. But as you said indeed i have the postion contentslider in the template layout when i selected home. But in the module setting i cannot find it. The others positions are there as you said.
What can cause that because i checked in configurations/menu assignments but i am not able to find something there.

Please help me with this contentslider position;

kouliga Please help me with this contentslider position;

As you can see from screenshot below contentslider position is available in your template layout

If you want to assign a module in that position simply write 'contentslider' inside position field
