Hello,

I would like to use left and right position in home page, just close to slideshow position, but I can´t access to those positions when I try to do it. Maybe, if you see a picture:

In general, I don´t know how modify positions size, or remove one position to make bigger other or like in this case use one part of the screen that hte original template doesn´t use. Could you please help me?

Thank you in advance 🙂

Oh, I forgot to ask you add into this class ” leftslideshow” into the module(left_slideshow positon) and ” rightslideshow” into the module(right_slideshow positon). Look at the screenshot

Remember ” leftslideshow” and ” rightslideshow” are blank in the first line

I solve this problem editing templatedetails.xml adding:

<position>slideshow</position>
<position>left_slideshow</position>
<position>right_slideshow</position>

Now, I can select this position but the module appears in the same position as slideshow, not in the left. :((

I have checked and could see that your question relates to specific customizations and requires to re-change your whole markup structure. Really sorry that such request exceeds the scope of our service.. You can find an expert to have the project done via a reliable freelance site: http://www.joomlancers.com, another network of JoomlArt. I personally recommend as thousands of projects have succeeded on the site.

However, your idea is so interesting and it will be recorded to our checklist for further reference.

Let me know if you need any other assistance.
