Modules and positions

Modules are the boxes around your content: menus, contact details, latest articles, social links, text blocks. Each one is published in a position of the template.

The template’s positions

Rebuilt templates use Custom HTML and core Joomla modules (Menu, Articles). The positions you will use most:

Position	What it holds
top1	Top bar, left: social icons (Template Options → Basic → Social Icons) or a Custom HTML module
top2	Top bar, right: contact details (Template Options → Basic → Contact Info)
breadcrumb	Breadcrumbs on the inner pages
right	Sidebar of the inner and blog pages
bottom1	Footer area, column 1
bottom2	Footer area, column 2
bottom3	Footer area, column 3
bottom4	Footer area, column 4
footer1	Footer bar: the copyright line (Template Options → Basic → Footer) or a Custom HTML module
footer2	Footer bar, second part
offcanvas	Mobile (off-canvas) menu panel
lt-notes	Latest notes in a home page section (an Articles module loaded with {loadposition lt-notes}; not shown in the Layout)

To see every position on your site, go to System → Global Configuration → Templates, turn on Preview Module Positions, then open your site with ?tp=1 at the end of the address.

Edit a module

1. Go to Content → Site Modules.
2. Filter by Position to find the module (for example footer1), then click its title.
3. Change the content and settings, then Save & Close.

Create a module

1. In Content → Site Modules click New and choose a module type (Custom for text and images, Menu, Articles, …).
2. Give it a title, choose the Position and set the Status to Published.
3. Open Menu Assignment to choose where it shows (see below), then save.
