1. Find the news module you are trying to place on the site (probably gavick) and install it.

2. Add this to your TemplateDetails.xml

<position>topsl3</position>

3. Add the following code to your index.php just below the <!– END: MAIN NAVIGATION –> comment.

<?php if($this->countModules('topsl3')) : ?>
<!-- BEGIN: TOPSL3 -->
<div id="ja-topsl3">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="topsl3" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<!-- END: TOPSL3 -->

4.Add this to the bottom of template_css.css

/* Top spotlight3 */
#ja-topsl3 {
padding-right: 1px;
padding-left: 1px;
padding-top: 2px;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-left: 10px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
}
* html #ja-topsl3 { /*IE 6*/
margin-top: 0;
margin-right: 1px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
margin-left: 0px;
}
*+html #ja-topsl3 { /*IE 6*/
margin-top: 0;
margin-right: 1px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
margin-left: 0px;
}
You may need to adjust the css and/or the parameters for the news module you are placing in that module position.
Good luck.
