To delete the main content you can make a copy of the profile you are using but in that copy of the profile set the option “Hide main content block” to “Yes”. We then need to assign that profile to the frontpage. That is done in the general tab in the “Profile Override Settings” section. Add a new item to the list with your home menu in the left column and your new profile name in the right column (dropdowns will appear when you hit the “click to add” boxes). Save your settings and clear your jat3 cache and in some cases your cookies too.

We can look at the new module positions when you have that bit sorted.

From the template manager open the layouts tab and edit your layout by adding the 2 lines I have highlighted in red below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout name="desktop">
<!--Extra css load for this layout-->
<stylesheets>
</stylesheets>
<blocks name="top" style="xhtml">
<block name="top-panel" type="modules" style="raw" main-inner="1">top</block>
<block name="cpanel" type="usertools/cpanel"></block>
<block name="header" type="header" main-inner="1"></block>
<block name="mainnav" type="mainnav" main-inner="1"></block>
<block name="slideshow" type="modules" style="raw">slideshow</block>
<block name="topsl" type="spotlight" style="raw" main-inner="1">user1,user2</block>
</blocks>
<blocks name="middle" colwidth="20">
<block name="content-mass-top" style="raw">content-mass-top</block>
<block name="inset1" style="jaxhtml">left</block>
<block name="right1" style="jaxhtml">right</block>
<block name="content-bottom" type="spotlight">content-bottom</block>
<block name="content-mass-bottom" type="spotlight">bottom1,bottom2</block>
</blocks>
<blocks name="bottom" style="xhtml">

<block name="botsl-1" type="spotlight" main-inner="1">user5,user6,user7,user8,user9,user10</block>

Sorry, there was a minor typo in the above code. The second bit in red should have ended in </block>. I somehow put “</blocks>” by mistake. Please remove the extra “s”.

Please try adding the line in red below.

<blocks name="middle" colwidth="20">
<block name="content-mass-top" style="raw">content-mass-top</block>
<block name="content-top" style="spotlight">top1,top2</block>
<block name="inset1" style="jaxhtml">left</block>
<block name="right1" style="jaxhtml">right</block>
<block name="content-bottom" type="spotlight">content-bottom</block>
<block name="content-mass-bottom" type="spotlight">bottom1,bottom2</block>
</blocks>


Which should give you the two module positions top1 and top2
