Add Module Position to t4bs5blank template

krumz

Hello, I used to add module positions to older versions of this template but now it's not so easy.

I would like to add a module in after content position as shown in the attached image.

Can someone give me an idea how to do this? I appreciate it much.

I am using the most current version of the template and joomla.

Hi @krumz,
Follow these steps to create a layout that suits your needs:

Create the Custom Block.

Create a file named "mycomponent.html".

Paste the following code in to this file:

<jdoc:include type="message" />
<jdoc:include type="component" />

<div class="t4-main-bottom">
  <jdoc:include type="modules" name="main-bottom" style="raw" />
</div>

Add the File to Your Template.
- Copy / Upload the mycomponent.html file to the "[your_template]/local/layouts/t4/" folder.
Configure Layout Settings.
- Go to your template's dashboard.
- Select the "Layouts Settings" tab.
- Follow the below screen short.
Save and Assign Modules.
- Save layout settings.
- Assign modules to the layout positions as per your design.

Reload your website to view the changes.

thank you for the reply.

In your instructions you say to Copy / Upload the mycomponent.html file to the "[your_template]/local/layouts/t4/" folder.

Under the t4bs5blank template/local folder, I only have folders "css" & "etc" - I have no "layouts" folder.

Because I can't let things go - I had to figure this out ...... so ......

I was looking around and found this - /templates/t4_bs5_blank/html/layouts/t4/block - and put the mycomponent.html file there:

I went to my templates dashboard and under "Layout Settings" I changed as per your screenshot.

I then went and created a module and assigned to the "main-bottom" position - it is working this way.

The only thing that does not work with this is ---- the "module title" is set to "Show" ---- but it does not show "module title" on frontend

Thank you for your help.
