I want to have the latest new and popular on the home page at the top of content.

Latest News | Popluar
* news 1 * Popular 1
* news 2 * Popular 2

Articles

Hi MikeB,

Please go in the backend under:

Extensions >> Template Manager >> Select BlackBearPro >> Edit HTML

There search for
add behind:


There search for
<div id="left">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="left" style="xhtml" />
</div>

add behind:

<table class=latestnews>
<tr>
<th><?php if ($this->countModules('user1')) : ?>
<div>
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="user1" style="xhtml" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
</th>
<th><?php if ($this->countModules('user2')) : ?>
<div>
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="user2" style="xhtml" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
</th>
</tr>
</table>

and save the file.

Then Edit the CSS file from the Template over Edit css >> template.css

Add at for example the end of the file:

table.latestnews {
margin:0px 0px 0px 350px;
}

table.latestnews th {
text-align:left;
}

Then enable the module mod_latestnews at the position "user1" and the module mod_mostread at the position "user2"

You can format it over the css files.

And now, it must work. ;-)

Thanks but I use user1 and user2 as banner placement on my site

www.thecoralvault.com

user1 is the banner in the header and user2 is the banner in the footer.

Ok, then we must create new modul-position. That´s no Problem.

Here the manual changed to your needs.

I followed your instructions and the Latest News and Popular are still not showing. I added the HTML in the right place, I added the CSS and I enabled the two modules

Have you enabled the modules on position user3 and user4.

Or see you the positions in your properties?

Hi,

I have found the mistake. When I copied the code, there insert two blanks in the code. I have corrected the manual.

Now, all the code is corrected and I have insert the positioning.
