Understanding Positions and Creating them
-
-
I am trying to understand creating positions a little better in 1.0 and 1.5. I though I would start playing around with Elememtal 1.5. There is no RocketLauncher available and of course the Demo is much closer to my desired end result than just installing the templet. I then did a RocketLaunch of 1.0 in another directory to use as a guide. It seems that not all the positions are available when installing the 1.5 template. Example: I was going to add RockSlide to advert1 position. In 1.0 under Tempate Manager there is a table for template positions. In 1.5 I CAN find a template editor under Extensions but can not find how to define the positions in either 1.0 or 1.5. How can I add the positions to the 1.5 template and where are they defined for the 1.0.
Note: I thought if I did a re-creation of Elememtal 1.5 from the DEMO install, I could learn the whole joomla layout etc etc. I have done a fair number of tutorials. one thought is, would it be possible to save the database for the 1.5 demos and then just read them in. Would this be a feasible alternative to the RocketLauncher making life easier for Rockettheme??? Are 1.5 templates going to offer the Demo/RocketLauncher. I am guessing it is a time thing but I would like to understand how positions are defined in 1.0 and 1.5 in the meantime.
Thanks
Rob

In 1.5 the Positions are in the Template's templateDetails.xml:
<positions> <position>header</position> <position>search</position> <position>left</position> <position>right</position> <position>footer</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> </positions>
To create a new position, just add another <position>myposition</position> Tag between <positions> and </positions>
