Hi,
You add this code into default layout (login backend > Extensions > Template manager > your template > Layout tab > edit default layout)

<block name="slideshow" type="modules" style="raw">slideshow</block>
before

<block name="topsl" type="spotlight" main-inner="1">user1,user2,user3,user4,user5</block>

Hello,

to create new position for slideshow

You need to goto admin login->template manager->Your Template-> Layout-> Default -> Edit default layout

Write this code

<block name=”slideshow” type=”modules” style=”raw”>slideshow</block>

Before this code:-

<block name=”topsl” type=”spotlight” main-inner=”1″ style=”JAxhtml”>user1,user2,user3,user4,user5</block>

In this situation suppose I wanted to add 2 sections where you have marked “Slideshow” in red – a slideshow on the left and 2 other blocks one on top of the other (so totally 3 new blocks) – kind on like in http://www.rosemontmedia.com

How would you do that?

Hi,
– You add this code into default layout (login backend > Extensions > Template manager > your template > Layout tab > edit default layout)

<block name="topsl" type="spotlight" style="raw">slideshow, user</block>
before

<block name="topsl" type="spotlight" main-inner="1">user1,user2,user3,user4,user5</block>
– You set slideshow module’s position is slideshow, and set position of two module is user
