now, you open the file: templatesTEMPLATE NAMEhtmlcom_contentfrontpagedefault.php and find the following code:
[PHP]
echo $this->loadTemplate(‘item’); ?>
</div>

<?php endfor; ?>
[/PHP]

replace:
[PHP]
echo $this->loadTemplate(‘item’); ?>
</div>

<?php echo $i;?><div class=”test”><jdoc:include type=”modules” style=”raw” name=”banner-<?php echo $i;?>” /></div>
<?php endfor; ?>
[/PHP]

When done, each article has a new position:
for example: article 1: it’s banner-0 position, now, you put your module on there

hello, thanks for reply

i got your point of view, i copied the code as you said in default.php,

<div class="article_row<?php echo $this->escape($this->params->get('pageclass_sfx')); ?> cols<?php echo $colcount; ?> clearfix">
<?php for ($z = 0; $z < $colcount && $ii < $introcount && $i < $this->total; $z++, $i++, $ii++) : ?>
<div class="article_column column<?php echo $z + 1; ?>" >
<?php $this->item =& $this->getItem($i, $this->params);
echo $this->loadTemplate('item'); ?>

</div>

<?php echo $i;?><div class="test"><jdoc:include type="modules" style="raw" name="banner-<?php echo $i;?>" /></div>

<?php endfor; ?>

</div>


it works in someway, it show the $i values from the for

8949

it show the module name too in the web code

8948

i set the position of a test module with a picture in admin and save

8947

but it doesnt show anything on frontpage or web code

what could be missing?

cheers

You open : templatesTEMPLATE NAMEhtmlcom_contentfrontpagedefault.php and find:

[PHP]defined(‘_JEXEC’) or die(‘Restricted access’);[/PHP]

replace by:

[PHP]
defined(‘_JEXEC’) or die(‘Restricted access’);
function loadModulesByPosition( $position=” ){
$modules = JModuleHelper::getModules( $position );
if( $modules ) {
$document = &JFactory::getDocument();
$renderer = $document->loadRenderer(‘module’);
$output=”;
foreach( $modules as $module ){
$output .= ‘<div class=”lof-module”>’.$renderer->render( $module, array(‘style’ => ‘raw’) ).'</div>’;
}
return $output;
}
return ;
}

[/PHP]

and then find:
[PHP]
echo $this->loadTemplate(‘item’); ?>
[/PHP]

Replace with :
[PHP]
echo $this->loadTemplate(‘item’); ?>
<?php echo loadModulesByPosition( ‘banner-‘.$i ); ?>
[/PHP]

tried and i get this error “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE” maybe from typos on the code?

any help fixing the code would be greatly appreciated.

i think i got it working but only for intro articles, how can we use this for articles on colums?

Hi pablofw

You add this code


<?php echo loadModulesByPosition( 'banner-'.$y ); ?>

after


<div class="items-row cols-<?php echo $colcount; ?> row-<?php echo $y ?> clearfix">
<?php for ($z = 0; $z < $colcount && $ii < $introcount && $i < $this->total; $z++, $i++, $ii++) : ?>
<div class="item column<?php echo $z; ?>" >
<?php $this->item =& $this->getItem($i, $this->params);
echo $this->loadTemplate('item'); ?>
</div>
<?php endfor; ?>
</div>

#402593

thanks for the reply dohq

my default.php is different from the one you posted, could you please show me how to put your code here? i’m desperate!

// init vars
$count = min($this->params->get('num_intro_articles', 4), ($this->total - $i));
$rows = ceil($count / $this->params->get('num_columns', 2));
$columns = array();

// create intro columns
for ($j = 0; $j < $count; $j++, $i++) {

if ($this->params->get('multi_column_order', 1) == 0) {
// order down
$column = intval($j / $rows);
} else {
// order across
$column = $j % $this->params->get('num_columns', 2);
}

if (!isset($columns[$column])) {
$columns[$column] = '';
}

$this->item =& $this->getItem($i, $this->params);
$columns[$column] .= $this->loadTemplate('item');
}

// render intro columns
$count = count($columns);
if ($count) {
if ($count != 1) {
echo '<div class="teaserarticles multicolumns">';
} else {
echo '<div class="teaserarticles">';
}
for ($j = 0; $j < $count; $j++) {
$firstlast = "";
if ($count != 1) {
if ($j == 0) $firstlast = "first";
if ($j == $count - 1) $firstlast = "last";
}
echo '<div class="'.$firstlast.' float-left width'.intval(100 / $count).'">'.$columns[$j].'</div>';
}
echo '</div>';
}
}
?>

#402602

Hi pablofw

You should try paste in end of this block code


for ($j = 0; $j < $count; $j++, $i++) {

if ($this->params->get('multi_column_order', 1) == 0) {
// order down
$column = intval($j / $rows);
} else {
// order across
$column = $j % $this->params->get('num_columns', 2);
}

if (!isset($columns[$column])) {
$columns[$column] = '';
}

$this->item =& $this->getItem($i, $this->params);
$columns[$column] .= $this->loadTemplate('item');
}

or


$count = count($columns);
if ($count) {
if ($count != 1) {
echo '<div class="teaserarticles multicolumns">';
} else {
echo '<div class="teaserarticles">';
}
for ($j = 0; $j < $count; $j++) {
$firstlast = "";
if ($count != 1) {
if ($j == 0) $firstlast = "first";
if ($j == $count - 1) $firstlast = "last";
}
echo '<div class="'.$firstlast.' float-left width'.intval(100 / $count).'">'.$columns[$j].'</div>';
}
echo '</div>';
}
