thanks for the resource, what i meant was on the frontpage of t3 blank template, instead of it showing articles on the main content layout, i want to show modules on the main content layout position is this possible ?

You can use in syntax as suggested in tutorial thread to call any position holding specific module in content item and enter the syntax in article html output assigned

Perhaps a point of clarification – are you wanting to do this on ALL pages or just the FRONTPAGE?

saw this on another template post :

<em>@brunus 157015 wrote:</em><blockquote>Hi

It’s quite easy.
In your layout, for exemple left-main-right_square, there is several positions available but not activated. Just activate it in the file, exemple Ja_purityII/layouts/left-main-right_square.php :

$positions = array (
'left1' =>'',
'left2' =>'',
'left-mass-top' =>'',
'left-mass-bottom' =>'',
'right1' =>'right',
'right2' =>'',
'right-mass-top' =>'',
'right-mass-bottom' =>'',
'content-mass-top' =>'top',
'content-mass-bottom' =>'',
'content-top' =>'content-top',
'content-bottom' =>'content-bottom',
'inset1' =>'left',
'inset2' =>''
);

As you can see in the exemple, I activated content-top (that’s what you are seeking for) and content-bottom.

To have it available in the Joomla! administrator, you also have to open the faile templateDetails.xml in the Ja-purity II root directory and to had those positions :

<positions>
<position>hornav</position>
<position>breadcrumbs</position>
<position>search</position>
<position>banner</position>
<position>content-top</position>
<position>content-bottom</position>
<position>left</position>
<position>right</position>
<position>top</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>footer</position>
<position>footnav</position>
<position>syndicate</position>
<position>debug</position>
<position>article-start</position>
<position>article-end</position>
<position>article-search</position>
<position>article-featureprod</position>
<position>google</position>
</positions>

Kassim…this post has been marked “Solved”.
Is that correct?

Or are you still searching for an answer?

The post you found really only pertains to adding module positions above and below the content area.
If you are wanting it on just ONE page…then Aman’s suggestion would be correct.

A more thorough walk-thru is EXPLAINED HERE.

Do you wish to mainly say that loading of module position in article area isnt working for t3 blank template?

[kasssim Friend kasssimJoin date: October 2008Posts: 29Downloads:0Uploads:0 Thanks: 11]

#366939

no i dont say that it doesnt work nor have i tried.

all am saying that with all the flexibity of joomlart templates, it can be possible to add a module position to a template without coding an article to display a module.

if only can a module position be specified at the template level such as content or content-top, thus it will enable any module to be published at such a position.

hope you understand my point.

other templates such as purityII, one can specify a module position such as content and thus can enable any module in the position.

any help appreciated thanks
