Hello,

This is my second try to solve my problem.
I need to insert positions above and below frontpage articles.
Anyone knows how to do it? Before T3 was so easy. Now appears to be incredible hard.

My layout is the orginal (from quickstart):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout name="desktop">
<!--Extra css load for this layout-->
<stylesheets>
</stylesheets>
<blocks name="top" style="xhtml">
<block name="top-panel" type="modules" style="jaraw" main-inner="1">top-panel</block>
<block name="header" type="header" main-inner="1"></block>
<block name="topbar" type="topbar"></block>
<block name="mainnav" type="mainnav"></block>
<block name="cpanel" type="usertools/cpanel"></block>
</blocks>
<blocks name="middle" colwidth="22">
<block name="content-mass-top" style="jaraw">content-mass-top</block>
<block name="content-top" type="spotlight">user1,user2,user3</block>
<block name="inset2">left</block>
<block name="right2">right</block>
</blocks>
<blocks name="bottom" style="xhtml">
<block name="botsl" type="spotlight" main-inner="1">user6,user7,user8,user9,user10</block>
<block name="navhelper" type="navhelper" main-inner="1"></block>
<block name="footer" type="footer"></block>
<block name="ie-rounded" type="ie-rounded" no-main="1" no-wrap="1"></block>
</blocks>
</layout>

What I have to change in this layout to made new positions where I need to do?

Thank you

Where exactly do you want these positions? You already have user 1,2 & 3 above the content. You can have the same below with a simple change. Or do you need a full width position above and below? A diagram might help.

two questions:

how would you move user1 to 3 below the content block? Second question how would you remove the content block? Right now I have that white line going cross my page…

Thanks

Yes that’s right. When we try to add a new block or blocks, it is not added.
For example I want to add this blocks:

<blocks name="slider" style="xhtml"><block name="slider" type="modules" style="raw">slider</block></blocks>
Or when I try to add <block name=”slider” style=”raw”>slider</block> just the end of the User1 – User3, it is OK, but when I try to add this code anywhere else, it doesn’t show up…

In the last days I encountered a lot of questions about this issue (about adding new block and new blocks), so if someone prepare a video tutorial it will be great. Thanks…

Hi Phill,

I want one position below user1, user2, user3. I don’t want to change user1,2,3.

USER 1 | USER 2 | USER 3
