Whenever i choose the user position for the slideshow {top} is doesn’t show up. It only shows up when i change the the user profile and the menu style from the frontend cpanel. I appreciate whatever help that can be offered. Thanks

Hi,
I have made it show for you, the reason was you did not load “top” position in your layout, you can check this in template manager > Layout tab > edit “default”
Your old layout is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout name="desktop">
<!--Extra css load for this layout-->
<stylesheets>
</stylesheets>
<blocks name="top" style="xhtml">
<block name="absolute" type="modules" style="raw">absolute</block>
<block name="top-panel" type="modules" style="raw" main-inner="1">top-panel</block>
<block name="mainnav" type="mainnav" main-inner="1"></block>
<block name="header" type="header" main-inner="1"></block>
<block name="cpanel" type="usertools/cpanel"></block>
<block name="topsl" specialwidth="30" special="right" type="spotlight-top" >user1,user2,user3,user4,user5</block>
</blocks>

<blocks name="middle" colwidth="30">
<block name="content-mass-top" >content-mass</block>
<block name="inset2" width="25" >left</block>
<block name="right1" >right</block>
</blocks>
<blocks name="bot" style="xhtml">
<block name="cs" type="modules" style="raw" no-main="1" >ja-cs</block>
<block name="tabs" type="modules" no-main="1" style="raw" >ja-tabs</block>
</blocks>
<blocks name="bottom" style="xhtml">
<block name="botsl" type="spotlight" style="JArounded" >user6,user7,user8,user9,user10</block>
<block name="footer" type="footer" ></block>
</blocks>
</layout>

I changed it by adding this line:

<block name="top" type="modules" style="raw" >top</block>


Thanks
Viet Vu

I see the adjustment that you made but it is still not showing up:/ Is there anything else that is required for this to work? Thanks:)

Hi,
After I made the change, slideshow showed up at “top” position because I added the code to load this position module in your layout setting. Now I’m not sure what is the problem?
Thanks

The problem is after you made the backend changes
The slideshow never showed up in the frontend. I checked
after you made the corrections and now it seems none of
my module positions are working. This is very confusing.
http://www.nubreedia.com if you view the site you will see that the slideshow
Is still not working. Thanks.

it’s working because I put it in the user1 position but its not working right when I put it in the “top” position. When I put it in the top position as stated on the guide it goes above the menu bar. Very confusing. Thanks.

Your layout was:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout name="desktop">
<!--Extra css load for this layout-->
<stylesheets>
</stylesheets>
<blocks name="top" style="xhtml">
<block name="top" type="modules" style="raw" >top</block>
<block name="absolute" type="modules" style="raw">absolute</block>
<block name="top-panel" type="modules" style="raw" main-inner="1">top-panel</block>
<block name="mainnav" type="mainnav" main-inner="1"></block>
<block name="header" type="header" main-inner="1"></block>
<block name="cpanel" type="usertools/cpanel"></block>

<block name="topsl" specialwidth="30" special="right" type="spotlight-top" >user1,user2,user3,user4,user5</block>
</blocks>

<blocks name="middle" colwidth="30">
<block name="content-mass-top" >content-mass</block>
<block name="inset2" width="25" >left</block>
<block name="right1" >right</block>
</blocks>
<blocks name="bot" style="xhtml">
<block name="cs" type="modules" style="raw" no-main="1" >ja-cs</block>
<block name="tabs" type="modules" no-main="1" style="raw" >ja-tabs</block>
</blocks>
<blocks name="bottom" style="xhtml">
<block name="botsl" type="spotlight" style="JArounded" >user6,user7,user8,user9,user10</block>
<block name="footer" type="footer" ></block>
</blocks>
</layout>

I just changed it to:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout name="desktop">
<!--Extra css load for this layout-->
<stylesheets>
</stylesheets>
<blocks name="top" style="xhtml">

<block name="absolute" type="modules" style="raw">absolute</block>
<block name="top-panel" type="modules" style="raw" main-inner="1">top-panel</block>
<block name="mainnav" type="mainnav" main-inner="1"></block>
<block name="header" type="header" main-inner="1"></block>
<block name="cpanel" type="usertools/cpanel"></block>
<block name="top" type="modules" style="raw" >top</block>
<block name="topsl" specialwidth="30" special="right" type="spotlight-top" >user1,user2,user3,user4,user5</block>
</blocks>

<blocks name="middle" colwidth="30">
<block name="content-mass-top" >content-mass</block>
<block name="inset2" width="25" >left</block>
<block name="right1" >right</block>
</blocks>
<blocks name="bot" style="xhtml">
<block name="cs" type="modules" style="raw" no-main="1" >ja-cs</block>
<block name="tabs" type="modules" no-main="1" style="raw" >ja-tabs</block>
</blocks>
<blocks name="bottom" style="xhtml">
<block name="botsl" type="spotlight" style="JArounded" >user6,user7,user8,user9,user10</block>
<block name="footer" type="footer" ></block>
</blocks>
</layout>

You can see that top position was set to stay above mainnav, that caused the issue!
