Where can I put modules on the page?
Each template has named positions. Turn on Preview Module Positions in Templates → Options, then add ?tp=1 to any page address to see them.
Module positions
Each template has named places for modules: positions such as menu, sidebar-right, footer. A module only shows when it is assigned to a position that exists in the active template, and on the pages chosen in its Menu Assignment.
See the positions on your site
- Go to System → Site Templates and click Options.
- Set Preview Module Positions to Enabled and save.
- Open any page of your site and add
?tp=1to the address (or&tp=1if it already has a?). Every position is outlined with its name. - Turn the preview off again on a live site.
Put a module in a position
- Open the module in Content → Site Modules.
- Pick the Position from the list.
- In Menu Assignment, choose the pages it should appear on.
