Hi — I’m trying to set this template up for use in Joomla 1.5RC3….
How do I set up the ja-news, ja_tab1, and ja_tab2 module positions in Joomla 1.5? I know 1.5 handles module positions in the template xml file, so your User’s Guide instructions don’t apply. Please help with specific instructions for 1.5. I want to set up my site to look just like the demo, at least in the arrangement of items on the frontpage.
Thank you,
Railer

Simple question: Why aren’t these module positions already in the ja_teline template so that it can match the demo right out of the box, if desired?

Did some more checking and it looks like the module code is in the index.php file. I added the following “positions” information to the templateDetails.xml file:

<positions>
<position>left</position>
<position>right</position>
<position>banner</position>
<position>ja-news</position>
<position>ja-tab1</position>
<position>ja-tab2</position>
<position>ja-hpanel</position>
<position>user4</position>
<position>user5</position>
<position>user6</position>
<position>user7</position>
<position>user8</position>
<position>user9</position>
<position>user10</position>
<position>user11</position>
<position>footer</position>
<position>debug</position>
<position>syndicate</position>
</positions>

And they show up in the JA News module. But I have no parameters to edit. It just says that “there are no parameters for this module.”

Hey railer – I’d be forever grateful if you would share the modified Teline template when you finish converting it to 1.5. J1.5 is now at RC4 and it looks like a matter of time before we go Gold. I’ve got everything on hold for the 1.5 template conversion.

Many Thanks.
