Anyway try this changes to your layout

Edit your default layout – Now your top block is like this

<blocks name="top" style="xhtml">
<block name="header" type="header"></block>
<block name="mainnav" type="mainnav" ></block>
<block name="cpanel" type="usertools/cpanel"></block>
<block name="navhelper" type="navhelper"></block>
<block name="topsl" type="spotlight">user1,user2,user3,user4,user5</block>
</blocks>

Add these 2 new blocks

<block name="secblock" type="spotlight" special="left" specialwidth="60">content-top2,col-mass-3</block>

<block name="secondrow" type="spotlight">user11,user12,user13,user14,user15</block>

So your new layout will be as shown below

<blocks name="top" style="xhtml">
<block name="header" type="header"></block>
<block name="mainnav" type="mainnav" ></block>
<block name="cpanel" type="usertools/cpanel"></block>
<block name="navhelper" type="navhelper"></block>
<block name="topsl" type="spotlight">user1,user2,user3,user4,user5</block>
<block name="secblock" type="spotlight" special="left" specialwidth="60">content-top2,col-mass-3</block>
<block name="secondrow" type="spotlight">user11,user12,user13,user14,user15</block>
</blocks>

Click on Save

In your /templates/ja-teline-iii/templateDetails.xml add the new positions


<position>content-top2</position>
<position>col-mass3</position>
<position>user11</position>
<position>user12</position>
<position>user13</position>
<position>user14</position>
<position>user15</position>


Save the file

This is the result on my localhost

Regards

Thank you very much!

It works, I can put modules in those positions.

But show some “mistakes”, it generates blank spaces between each module, you can watch it here:

Pavit Hello, thank you very much for your reply.

I’m back to accommodate the modules in the content-top2 positions, col-mass-3, user11. user12, user13, user14 and user15.

When using these positions shows me “white space”.

I leave the picture:

Thank you very much for your support. Greetings!

NOTE: I am currently using these positions, if you like to see it directly in the browser: http://www.quenahost.com/expresion/index.php

Hi

To set all the paddings properties for your new modules positions you need to manage the template.css file

Example : The spotlights position in the bottom of your templates are managed by this code

/* Bot spotlight ---*/
#ja-botsl .main {
border-top: 1px solid #ddd;
padding: 0;
}

#ja-botsl .ja-box {
background: url(../images/dot.gif) repeat-y right 0 #fff;
padding: 20px 0;
}

#ja-botsl .ja-box.ja-box-right {
background: none;
}

.ja-box-right .moduletable, .ja-box-right .moduletable_default {
border-right: 0;
}

#ja-botsl .ja-moduletable, #ja-botsl .moduletable {
margin-bottom: 0;
border-bottom: 0;

So you need to add the style for your new positions in this file

If you need help try to look at this wiki page
