    • Thanks for the contribution. Lots of info there. I'll check that out. Glad you updated me on the differences and uses of the "template-options" files.

    • Hi... I'm trying to add a module position but not in the index.php... I'm working in the article-info position under the article title, where appear data like author, date, etc.

      The file is "html/com_content/article/default.php". I put this code under <div class="rt-articleinfo">

      <div id="rt-rotator">
      <?php echo $gantry->displayModules('rotator','standard','standard');?>
      <div class="clear"></div>
      </div>

      But the position doesn't appear... any idea?

      Joomla 1.7 / Modulus 1.6.5 / Gantry 3.2.13

    • Hello

      I followed the process described here groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!to...velopers/b6FmSTjpwqU (which is a complement to this forum), everything works but I do not understand at what point in the process, I can choose the position.

      In the example, the new position is at the bottom of the footer. I want to add a position to the left and right of the site for a skin. Can you help me? thank you

    • Hi

      I too trying to add a position row underneath the existing footer. I wanted to have a full width module with existing clients logo's.

      I have followed the Gantry documentation, and have it all working by the looks. It works in the Gantry, it shows up as it should, however, it is not displaying properly in the front end. Dummy module is live and titled 'Clients' underneath the Footer. www.aussietechheads.asia/csinew

      I edited the index.php as documented, it does look a little different to the previous syntax in the index,php file.

      I inserted this into the index.php (after the line containing /**End Footer and before line containing /**Begin Copyright.)

      <div id="rt-footer2">
      <div class="rt-container">
      <?php echo $gantry->displayModules('footer2','standard','standard'); ?>
      <div class="clear"></div>
      </div>

      I guess my other amendments to the other files are ok as its the positioning of the new position that is out.

      IF you could help, be great thanks.

    • I just looked at the site with Firebug and you've got this position inside the Footer position.
      <footer id="rt-footer-surround">
      <div id="rt-footer">
      <div class="rt-container">
      </div>
      <div id="rt-footer2">
      <div class="rt-container">
      <div id="rt-copyright">
      </div>
      </footer>

      Don't you want to create an entirely new position with it's own row? I think I'd start by changing the name of the new position from "rt-footer2" to "rt-clientlogorow" or something that has no chance of being found anywhere in Joomla.
