How to View Module Positions in Joomla! 2.5 Template

Monday, January 7, 2013

When working on your Joomla 2.5 site, there may be times when you need to move modules to different parts of the page. Each module is shown in a "place holder", and these place holders are referred to as positions. To move a module to a different position, you'll need to know where each position is set in the template. For example, the footer may have a position labeled as "position-14". You need to know this position name before you can move a module to it.

Here is how to view:

1. Go to “Extensions” => “Template Manager”.

2. In Template Manager, click the icon “Options” on the toolbar.

3. Next, set the parameter “Preview Module Positions” to “Enabled” and click “Save & Close”
