Joomla! Template: Module Positions in Front End

Joomla's front end is what your visitors see when they access your Joomla website. It is where your content, components, modules will be displayed to be viewed by your visitors.

Understanding module location/position in your template will give you the liberty on where to place your Joomla! modules to be displayed in your front end.

You can easily view where your module positions are displayed in your template by adding "?tp=1" code (without the quotes) at the end of the URL of your website.

Hence, if your URL is "http://www.yourdomain.com/" just add "?tp=1" in its end, as shown below,

"http://www.yourdomain.com/?tp=1" (without the quotes)

You will see the label of your module position in your template. You can then easily decide on where you will place your modules that would best fit your template. The common modules positions of templates are "left," "right," "top," and "bottom." Other templates have extra module positions available like "user1," "user2," and "banner."

Enjoy tinkering on where you will place the modules in your template.
