First, you should check which is the default Joomla 2.5 template used by your web site. You can find this out through your Joomla 2.5 administrative area -> Extensions -> Template Manager.
You will have to edit two of the template files and add the position manually. The files are:
~/templates/Template_Name/index.php
and
~/templates/Template_Name/templateDetails.xml
where:
Template_Name is the name of the template assigned for your website.
You can edit the files through the cPanel -> File manager or with an FTP client.
In the first file index.php add the following line at the place where the new position should be set:
|
1
|
<jdoc:includetype="modules"name="My_new_position"/>
|
In the second file templateDetails.xml find the positions definition section and add the following line:
|
1
|
<position>My_new_position</position>
|
Save the changes for both files under your hosting account.
Navigate to the Joomla 2.5 administrative area and change the position of a chosen module to the new one. Detailed instructions on how to do that can be found in the following knowledge base article:
