Adding a Module Position in a Joomla 1.5 Template

In this tutorial we will be learning on how to add a new module position to our joomla 1.5 template.

1. Add code to template PHP file.

For example, this would go in the index.php file in the template folder - or if you are adding it in an include file.

<?php if ($this->countModules('user6')) : ?><div id="user6" ><jdoc:include type="modules" name="user6" style="xhtml" /></div><?php endif; ?>

2. Add module name to templateDetails.xml

You then need to tell Joomla which module positions are available in this template. If you don’t do this step, then Joomla will not present the module position when giving you the option of where to place a module.

templateDetails.xml is in XML format. Within the <install> namespace, add this:

<positions>
<position>user6</position>
</positions>


If you already have positions listed, just add the <position>user6</position> part along with the rest of them.
