Yeah, even I cannnot put anywhere I want to. I want to create a placeholder on the header.

I am having a similar issue I can create positions where ever I want on the page as long as it has a module position before or after the location. But I don't have any module positions at the top right hand corner so I add the position it is the first position but it doesn't appear where I want it to it just appears below the logo. I want my login to show up on the top right but I can't figure out how.

@cyphergt yeah it's probably an issue with the template itself. some of the more complex ones can be an issue. can you go to my site and use my contact form? I'm sure I can help you out. peace!

thanks but how do you define the position where it will appear.. in example if i want it to be shown in the top right corner how would i do that? or maybe on the left bottom side.. or somewhere in the middle of the content

thanks

@lordmassk007 Hey, what you have to do is go to your template "index.php" file. Then in the spot where you want that particular position to appear, place in the module code like so:

[jdoc:include type="modules" name="right" style="xhtml" /]

so whenever you assign a module to a position of "right" in the Joomla module backend, joomla knows to place it wherever you put that line of code.

If you assign 3 modules to "right", they'll all show up there where that line of code is. Hope that helps.

@lordmassk007 except change the square brackets into the angle brackets...
