Are you thinking in terms of adding a position as you see within a different JATC Template?

I ask because one way you can do this – relatively easily – is download the files from the other JATC Template that has such a position – as well as set up a temporary demo of the template using our [URL=http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/use-jas-demo-builder-as-a-learning-tool/

Hi brenot

As Tom suggested above you can try to use the Demo Builder function to make all your tests

otherwise you can simply add the new position using the Layout override in these two steps

1) Goto template manager –> Ja_Kranos –> Layout Tab –> Click on the default layout you will see this


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout name="desktop">
<!--Extra css load for this layout-->
<stylesheets>
</stylesheets>
<scripts>
<file>js/ja.more.js</file>
</scripts>
<blocks name="top" style="xhtml">
<block name="absolute" type="modules" style="raw">absolute</block>
<block name="top-panel" type="modules" style="raw" main-inner="2">top-panel</block>
<block name="cpanel" type="usertools/cpanel"></block>
<block name="header" type="header"></block>
<block name="mainnav" type="mainnav"></block>
<block name="slideshow">slideshow</block>
<block name="masshead">masshead</block>
<block name="contentslider">contentslider</block>
<block name="twitter">twitter</block>
<block name="topsl" type="spotlight" main-inner="1">user1,user2,user3,user4</block>
<block name="topsl1" type="spotlight" main-inner="1">user5,user6,user7,user8</block>
</blocks>
<blocks name="middle" colwidth="32">
<block name="left1">left</block>
<block name="right1">right</block>
<block name="content-bottom">content-bottom</block>
<block name="content-mass-bottom">content-mass-bottom</block>
</blocks>
<blocks name="bottom" style="xhtml">
<block name="contentslider2">contentslider2</block>
<block name="botsl" type="spotlight" main-inner="1" specialwidth="27">user9,user10,user11,user12</block>
<block name="botsl1" type="spotlight" main-inner="1" specialwidth="27">user13,user14,user15,user16</block>
<block name="navhelper" type="navhelper"></block>
<block name="footer" type="footer"></block>
</blocks>
</layout>

Modify this layout as showed below adding the part of code in RED

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout name="desktop">
<!--Extra css load for this layout-->
<stylesheets>
</stylesheets>
<scripts>
<file>js/ja.more.js</file>
</scripts>
<blocks name="top" style="xhtml">
<block name="absolute" type="modules" style="raw">absolute</block>
<block name="top-panel" type="modules" style="raw" main-inner="2">top-panel</block>
<block name="cpanel" type="usertools/cpanel"></block>
<block name="header" type="header"></block>
<block name="mainnav" type="mainnav"></block>
<block name="slideshow">slideshow</block>
<block name="masshead">masshead</block>
<block name="contentslider">contentslider</block>
<block name="twitter">twitter</block>
<block name="topsl" type="spotlight" main-inner="1">user1,user2,user3,user4</block>
<block name="topsl1" type="spotlight" main-inner="1">user5,user6,user7,user8</block>
</blocks>
<blocks name="middle" colwidth="32">
<block name="content-mass-top">content-mass-top</block>
<block name="left1">left</block>
<block name="right1">right</block>
<block name="content-bottom">content-bottom</block>
<block name="content-mass-bottom">content-mass-bottom</block>
</blocks>
<blocks name="bottom" style="xhtml">
<block name="contentslider2">contentslider2</block>
<block name="botsl" type="spotlight" main-inner="1" specialwidth="27">user9,user10,user11,user12</block>
<block name="botsl1" type="spotlight" main-inner="1" specialwidth="27">user13,user14,user15,user16</block>
<block name="navhelper" type="navhelper"></block>
<block name="footer" type="footer"></block>
</blocks>
</layout>

2) Then goto templatesja_kranostemplateDetails.xml and add at the end of positions section this portion of code

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

Save the file and clean your JaT3 cache So now you have the content-mass-top position available
