Dear John,

Can you explain me more details the difficult you are facing,You could not assign your modules to module positions or anything else ?
You can post here an example in which you could not do so i will point you in a right direction.

Dear john777,

in that place you already have the user1,user2 and user3 position so you just need to publish your modules on those module positions don’t need to create any now ones.

Please understand that I am aware of those positions, But I don’t need them side by side, but instead in vertical positions.

ALREADY exists in this format: user 1, user 2, user 3, ( if I want to use these positions, lets say 500 px width for each module then it obviously does not fit in the screen right?)

What I need is :

User 1,
User 2,
User 3,.

That is why I asked you that I need to know how to create a module, so that I can create one even when I need a new module position, lets say USER 4 or USER X, right after USER 3 ( according to my above example reference right after user 3 (vertical position) of same width.

I really wish, you understand my problem and issue, and give me a solution right here rather than posting a link. Its more than three weeks now.

you have no Idea how much I appreciate such an answer.

for JA social template

Thanks,

Dear john777,

You need to make a litle change in the code to get this,Please try as following
1) Copy the file of pluginssystemjat3base-themesdefaultpagedefault.php and put it into the folder of templatesja_socialpage create the page folder if it is not there,open the copied file and looking for this snap of code
[PHP] <?php
//content-top
if($this->hasBlock(‘content-top’)) :
$block = &$this->getBlockXML (‘content-top’);
?>
<div id=”ja-content-top” class=”ja-content-top clearfix”>
<?php $this->showBlock ($block); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
[/PHP]
adding below it this block of code
[PHP]
<?php
//scontent-top
if($this->hasBlock(‘scontent-top’)) :
$block = &$this->getBlockXML (‘scontent-top’);
?>
<div id=”ja-scontent-top” class=”ja-scontent-top clearfix”>
<?php $this->showBlock ($block); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
[/PHP]

Now you have a new block name scontent-top which contain your module positions

2) Go to your template back-end >> Layout tab,going to edit your actived layout (it may default layout ),you would see a block xml tag like this
<block name=”content-top” type=”spotlight”>user1,user2,user3</block>
Just add under it a block tag as this
<block name=”scontent-top” type=”modules “>user21,user22,user23</block>

Completely,Now you have three module positions on the place you wanted (you can add many module positions as you wanted,for example user21,user22,user23,usre24 etc…) just assigning your modules to these positions then they would display on that place.

I hope this make sense !

Looks Like I am not fortunate., I followed everything just as you suggessted, but nope I do not see the module positions in my module manager to assign any modules.,

additionally, i added the positions user21, 22, 23 in my xml, then I could see the positions, but when I assign to those positions, I could not see anything on my frontpage, can you get into my host server and fix it, I will send you all the necessary details,., or do you want me to send you screenshots, so that you will know what went wrong?

I am glad you are trying to help me out, but it looks like something is not right., I appreciate all your efforts in trying to resolve the issue,

Kindly help me ,

thanks,

Please PM me an admin logon to your joomla back end (including a link to your site) along with your ftp details. Please include a link to this thread in your PM.

To be honest I am quite confused by your setup. It seems to be in a bit of a mess. The link you give me goes to a site with the /blog at the back but the details you supply are not the admin for that. If I go to /blog/administrator your site will not let me in.

If I go to your domain/administrator I end up at what appears to be a different Joomla install and one that needs tidying up somewhat.

I have never seen an install where a user has 138 templates installed, 281 plugins installed, 260 modules installed and a list of components that scrolls over 3 pages. This is really making it hard for me to determine exactly which install I am working on. It is also using a huge amount of server resources and you should really take the time to strip down to what you are actually using.

I looked in the template manager of the site I was able to logon to for you and the above modifications were not applied to the default layout but I am guessing I am logging onto the wrong site so plese confirm the correct link to your admin panel via PM so I can try and work out what is going on. It appears the sites are becoming a little confused.

Try admin URL :

shahhah.org/administrator

I still wonder why you have been redirected to http://www.shahhah.org/blog when you type in http://www.shahhah.org, I have noticed it once so I understand what you mean, usually it works fine for me, kindly use shahhah.org/administrator, use the same login details
I cleaned up most of the templates.

I am paying 100$ a month for a cloud hosting server at this point of time, I have a vision of making this website big, I still need to figure out which componants – modules – plugins – I should get rid of, Once I establish my front page properly, then I will start the clean up process. I don’t have time to test on local host.

If I get support in time for the componants, templates I use, then it would not be necessary for me to try out other templates, componants, and make a mess out of it, Its waste of time and money. Only very few componants I use get a proper support in time, especially the sef componant which is supposed to provide sef urls is such a headache that I had to try new similar componants to check atleast they work. the support is a nightmare.

the template you need to make changes were : jA_social2. Please help me as soon as possible.
