Title: How to place modules only to frontpage?
Post by: MarD on October 14, 2012, 16:24:59

I may be stuck on the basics, but really I couldn't found it anywhere...
I just want to place the eshop scroller only in front page and not in every page of my eshop.

Also, how do I know which module places are active on my template?
I'm using iosclean template.

Thanks!
Marios

Especially for IOS Eshop:
IOS Eshop has 2 internal module positions shown in frontpage: shoptop and shopbottom
So just place your module in position shoptop, if the position does not exist create it from the administration area.
http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/ESHOP_Internal_module_positions (http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/ESHOP_Internal_module_positions)

To see active module positions put "tp=1" in the URL address. Example:
http://www.example.com/?tp=1 (http://www.example.com/?tp=1)

neither shoptop or shopbottom works... or even shopctg.
I've tried the "tp=1" and shows only header and user1 as active for the middle of the page...

These modules positions are internal into IOS Eshop, not in Elxis. So, by placing modules there you will see them in IOS Eshop frontpage, not necessary in Elxis frontpage (can be different).

I advice you these:
- Make IOS Eshop your site's frontpage (wiki (http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/Frontpage_setup)).
- Set module Eshop Scroller in position shoptop and make it available in ALL pages.

tp=1 shows all modules positions having modules assigned (the active ones). See your template's documentation or (if not available) the template's index.php file for all the position it supports.

I didn't knew that I could change the frontpage... That's very neat!
Now everything works perfect!

Thank you very much!
