  • Adding a New Module Position

    Posted 18 years 4 months ago
    • This is a general question about adding a new module to to a template. Lets say you have a template like "FIRE" and it has the standard mainbody with 2 additional user positions like "D" and "E".

      Now lets say you have a template like "Blogtopia" that really doesn't have any additional module positions, other than "top".

      I have a template similar to "Blogtopia" and I would like to add two module positions like "user1" and "user2" shown here in this template above the mainbody like this:

      I have found that by locating the mosMainBody(); statement and adding something like
      <?php mosLoadModules('bottom', -1); ?>
      below the mainbody places a new footer module into my template. So how would I create 2 side by side modules above the mainbody like you see here in the Mobius Template?

    • You'll need to be aware of how the template code is constructed within the index.php file...inserting the mosLoadModules code is only part of it, for specific layouts you will need to position the code within tables/layers depending on how the original template was constructed, then add the appropriate code and entries into the CSS file.

      That's quite a tall order.

      a) learn how templates are constructed in PHP and CSS

      or

      b) pay someone
