I was able to get the template to install using legacy mode. But I can’t seem to get anything to show in Spotlight and Highlight. I’ve tried publishing to user1-6 but nothing seems to show up there.

Seems to me the db needs to be told about the new positions, but I can’t find how to do that in J1.5.

I have the same problem with my installation on 1.5…

I think the solution is here, probably need to add the new positions to xml file that goes with the template:

I haven’t tried it yet, so let me know if this works.

Hi again,

In the template I’m using, JA Olyra, there isn’t any positions mentioned in the files templateDetails.xml or index.php, but I can find it in the Rhuk Milkyway – template…

Isn’t it possible with this template or do you change the positions in some other file?

I finally got this template working with Highlight and Spotlight showing.

1) Add this to your templateDetails.xml

<positions>
<position>left</position>
<position>right</position>
<position>user1</position>
<position>user2</position>
<position>user3</position>
<position>user4</position>
<position>user5</position>
<position>user6</position>
<position>user7</position>
</positions>

2) Publish something into User 1,2,5 for Highlight, Publish User 6 for Spotlight

That seems to have done it for me.

Hi again, just want to ask where in the templateDetails.xml I should put this?

I’m pretty sure it doesn’t matter, just somewhere in the middle, don’t break any other tags.

Take a look ath templateDetails.xml that came with J1.5 default package and see how it was done there.
