Hi All,

Is it possible to display a module above the ‘Welcome to the FrontPage’ area on the Frontpage of JA Opal? If so, how do you do it?

I can’t seem to do it by the usual module positioning field.

Hi retrovertigo,

to add a module position above Opal’s frontpage area, open index.php file located in your template’s directory, and on line 186 add this:

<?php if ( $this->countModules('new_position') ) : ?>
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="new_position" style="jamodule" />
<?php endif; ?>
then, open templateDetails.xml located in the same directory, and on line 61 add this:

<position>new_position</position>
Publish your module on new_position and enjoy 🙂
