Hi

You need to edit some files to add new module positions at your layout

Please take a look at the JaT3V3 Documentation about adding a module position to a layout.

Hope that helps to solve your problem

Hi

To add new positions at the layout ( Layout2 ) you need to add a new spotlight in the layout.php

Example

goto this folder ja_brisktplsdefault.php

Default Layout has these blocks

<?php $this->loadBlock ('header') ?>

<?php $this->loadBlock ('slideshow') ?>

<?php $this->loadBlock ('masshead') ?>

<?php $this->loadBlock ('spotlight-1') ?>

<?php $this->loadBlock ('mainbody') ?>

<?php $this->loadBlock ('spotlight-2') ?>

<?php $this->loadBlock ('spotlight-3') ?>

<?php $this->loadBlock ('navhelper') ?>

<?php $this->loadBlock ('footer') ?>

So you will need to add new blocks , in your case new spotlight blocks

So add for example the spotlight 4 <?php $this->loadBlock (‘spotlight-4’) ?>

Then in templatesja_brisktplsblocks copy the spotlight-1.php and rename it to spotlight-4.php

open the file spotlight-4.php

[PHP]defined(‘_JEXEC’) or die;
?>
<?php if ($this->countModules(‘position-1’) || $this->checkSpotlight(‘spotlight-1’, ‘position-2, position-3, position-4’)) : ?>
<!– SPOTLIGHT 1 –>
<section class=”wrap ja-sl ja-sl-1″>
<div class=”container”>

<?php if($this->countModules(‘position-1’)) : ?>
<div class=”<?php $this->_c(‘position-1’) ?>”>
<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”<?php $this->_p(‘position-1’) ?>” style=”raw” />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php
$this->spotlight (‘spotlight-1’, ‘position-2, position-3, position-4’) — change these to new positions name
?>
</div>
</section>
<!– //SPOTLIGHT 1 –>
<?php endif ?>[/PHP]

Open templatesja_brisktemplateDetails.xml and add the new positions you created

<position>position-18</position>
<position>position-19</position>
<position>position-20</position>
<position>position-21</position>
<position>position-22</position>
<position>position-23</position>

Hope was clear

Hi

I made an example ( working example ) to show how works the layout positioning

Anyway before make any changes take a copy of the files that you will modify and try to play around the configuratons.

<!– SPOTLIGHT 2 –>

<section class=”wrap ja-sl ja-sl-4″>

<div class=”container”>

<?php

Hi

You have to works on default.php file

You need to add the <?php $this->loadBlock (‘spotlight-4’) ?> to that file and save it

Hi birkenstam,

You did great with adding new blocks into Default layout. It seems that there ia still small issue with css styles of new assigned modules. Can you send me a PM with your admin for fixing your issue ?
