Hi there

I was searching for footnav position to put there a module, but i couldn’t find it inside the position list of the joomla module manager. So then i started to search for it and i’ve found that is missing a line in the templateDetails.xml file placed in the telineIII root directory.

So, for everybody who would like to put there something, here is my suggestion:

1. Open with notepad the templateDetails.xml
2. here u’ll find the position list and other stuff. our interest will be the position list:

<blockquote>- <positions>
<position>hornav</position>
<position>breadcrumbs</position>
<position>banner</position>
<position>left</position>
<position>right</position>
<position>top</position>
<position>search</position>
<position>headlines</position>
<position>meta-item</position>
<position>megamenu</position>
<position>ja-login</position>
<position>ja-news</position>
<position>ja-tabs</position>
<position>ja-tabs1</position>
<position>ja-tabs2</position>
<position>ja-tabs3</position>
<position>col-mass1</position>
<position>col-mass2</position>
<position>content-top</position>
<position>content-bot</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>footer</position>
<position>syndicate</position>
<position>debug</position>
</positions>
</blockquote>

3. simply add <position>footnav</position> between user10 and footer position (or elsewere, it shouldn’t be important). like that:

<blockquote> <position>user9</position>
<position>user10</position>
<position>footnav</position>
<position>footer</position>
<position>syndicate</position>
<position>debug</position> </blockquote>

then save your file as .xml and upload it again: now u should be able to choose footnav position when u want to place a module. 😉

of course you can try this mod at your own risk, i posted it here only as a suggestion :p

Actually, I just created a menu module and assigned it to “footnav” by TYPING word “footnav” in “Position:” line of module’s configurations.

But your approach should result in availability of “footnav” position in drop-down menu. And of cause, it’s OK.

Hello,

Thank you for reporting the missing module position in the xml file. It has been added the the Project Management system with the code [JATCTELINEIII-171]

Regards,
Mihir Chhatre.
