Hi,

I am having troubles trying to use JA News Pro module within JATELINE IV template.. The problem is that choices: content-top, content, content-bottom and slideshow are absent in all the modules (See Module Manager -> drop-box “Position”). However these positions are mentioned in Layouts -> Defaults (Template manager)
<blocks name=”middle” main-inner=”1″ colwidth=”17″>
<block name=”content-top” style=”raw”>content-top</block>
<block name=”content-bottom” style=”raw”>content-bot</block>
<block name=”content-mass-top” style=”raw” type=”tabs”>ja-news-1,ja-news-2,ja-news-3</block>

Is there any way I can have these missing positions please.

You can just type the position names into the drop-box. And make sure you have the most recent template and other elements; there were a few updates a couple of days ago.

Good luck!

Hi,

You can type position name on position dropdown if your position is not listed in the dropdown.

Hi,
You are missing positions “middle.content-mass-top” and “middle.content-top” blocks, to add these positions
you can do as following:

– Login your admin page, go to location “Extensions > template manager > default template”, click on “Layouts” tab.
– Edit “Default” layout, define new block with your positions in block name = “middle”,
exm:


<blocks name="middle" main-inner="1" colwidth="17">
<block name="content-top" style="raw">content-top</block>
...
</blocks>

content-top on “content-top” block is your missing position, it’s in “middle.content-top” block.
– Now, you can create new module on “content-top” position

I have the same problem of missing most positions in JA-Tabs module dropbox. A solution would be much appreciated. This is what I have in the Layouts:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>

<block name=”topbar” type=”topbar”></block>
<block name=”cpanel” type=”usertools/cpanel”></block>
<block name=”slideshow” type=”modules” style=”raw”>slideshow</block>
<block name=”topsl1″ type=”spotlight” special=”left” specialwidth=”66″>sl1-l,sl1-r</block>
<block name=”topsl2″ type=”spotlight”>user1,user2,user3,user4,user5</block>
</blocks>
<blocks name=”middle” main-inner=”1″ colwidth=”17″>
<block name=”content-top” style=”raw”>content-top</block>
<block name=”content-bottom” style=”raw”>content-bot</block>
<block name=”content-mass-top” style=”raw” type=”tabs”>ja-news-1,ja-news-2,ja-news-3</block>
<block name=”content-mass-bottom”>content-mass-bot</block>
<block name=”right-mass-top”>col-mass-top</block>
<block name=”right-mass-bottom”>col-mass-bot</block>
<block name=”inset1″>left</block>
<block name=”right1″>right1</block>
<block name=”right2″>right2</block>
</blocks>
<blocks name=”bottom” style=”xhtml”>
<block name=”botsl1″ type=”spotlight”>user6,user7,user8,user9,user10</block>
<block name=”botsl2″ type=”spotlight” special=”left” specialwidth=”66″>user11,user12</block>
<block name=”footer” type=”footer” main-inner=”1″></block>
</blocks>
</layout>

Hi rbeste,
I think these may be the two positions you are looking for: sl1-r and col-mass-top. They are both in your list.

<block name=”topsl1″ type=”spotlight” special=”left” specialwidth=”66″>sl1-l,sl1-r</block>
<block name=”right-mass-top”>col-mass-top</block>

Hi,

The ones I wanted are ja-tabs1, ja-tabs2, ja-news1, ja-news2, ja-news3, ja-news1, all the mega positions – all of which are missing. There are others missing too. I have only 12 positions listed in the ja-tabs module

Many thanks for you quick reply. Hope you can help.

Robin

If you type them in as described above they will be there forever more. If you really want to add them you can do so by adding them to the templates>ja_teline_iv>templateDetails.xml file as per below

<positions>
<position>hornav</position>
<position>breadcrumbs</position>
<position>search</position>
<position>banner</position>
<position>left</position>
<position>right</position>
<position>right1</position>
<position>right2</position>
<position>top</position>
<position>headlines</position>
<position>header-r</position>
<position>mega</position>
<position>mega-adv1</position>
<position>mega-item</position>
<position>mega1</position>
<position>mega2</position>
<position>mega5</position>
<position>mega6</position>
<position>mega3</position>
<position>mega4</position>
<position>user1</position>
<position>user2</position>
<position>user3</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>user12</position>
<position>content-mass-bot</position>
<position>col-mass-bot</position>
<position>col-mass-top</position>
<position>col-mass1</position>
<position>col-mass1</position>
<position>ja-news-1</position>
<position>ja-news-2</position>
<position>ja-news-3</position>
<position>sl1-l</position>
<position>sl1-r</position>
<position>ja-tabs1</position>
<position>ja-tabs2</position>
<position>menulist</position>
<position>footer</position>
<position>syndicate</position>
<position>debug</position>
</positions>

You can add the positions to your dropdown simply by creating a new line for each <positions>yourposition<yourposition>

Remember, that will only add the name to the dropdown, not actually create the module position.

I still think it is easier just to type them in the box.

Hi,

Those positions are all already in the templateDetails.xml. I can’t type them into the box because the drop down doesn’t let me edit. Re-installing the ja-tabs plugin and module hasn’t made any difference. Not to worry, I’ll install quickstart, strip out the example data and import my data. Thanks for your help anyway.

Thanks for the offer, but I’m developing the site on my localhost.
