Is this article a joke? How come the community leaders allow this to take place? 
This page was clearly created just to drive traffic to ribafs.org. 
What happened to the great community that used to surround the J! project? 
Where are the serious J! community members?

Module Position

Digiwise: /* Visualization */

Module positions are placeholders in a template. They identify positions within the template and tell the Joomla! application where to place output from modules assigned to a particular position. The template designer has complete control over module positions, creating variations between templates and the respective Joomla! default positions assigned to modules in the installation sample data.

For example the module position "Left" could be used in the left side of the template to display a site navigation menu.
So if a module is assigned the "Left" position, it will be displayed wherever the designer puts that "Left" module position - not necessarily the left side of the page.

==templateDetails.xml==
The <code>templateDetails.xml</code> file contains all the installation and core information for a template, including the module positions it utilizes and displays. Here is a brief list of the commonly used names for the various module positions.
<pre>
<positions>
<position>top</position>
<position>left</position>
<position>right</position>
<position>bottom</position>
<position>banner</position>
<position>syndicate</position>
<position>footer</position>
<position>user1</position>
<position>user2</position>
<position>user3</position>
<position>user4</position>
</positions>
</pre>
Although these are commonly used, it is up to the template developer to choose both a module position name and an accompanying display style.
The addition of module positions, as displayed above, is implemented in between the <code><positions></code> and <code></positions></code> tags. In between those tags in the <code>templateDetails.xml</code> file, add the name of the module position in between a set of <code><position></code> and <code></position></code> tags.

==Use and Implementation==
A Joomla! template displays a set of modules added to a specific position using the <code><jdoc:include /></code> statement shown below (for further information about <code><jdoc:include /></code> see [[jdoc statements]]):
<pre>
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="name of module position" style="xhtml" />
</pre>

==Visualization==
It's possible to visualize all modules set on a template by calling the <code>"tp=1"</code> query string on the front-end.
