Problem with MyCommunity v1.8.0 template positions on Joomla v3.0.3

11 years 1 month ago #220846 by edocsales.com
Hi, I'm no Joomla expert but I have installed the MyCommunity template v1.8.0 on Joomla 3.0.3 (no CB installed yet) and find issues with the module positions:

In the Module Manager, on the Positions list under heading "Mycommunity" are "left", "right", "breadcrumb", etc but previewing positions using "?tp=1" on the URL (and also shown in the template documentation) shows the left position as "position-8", right as "position-7", breadcrumb as "breadcrumbs" (note: PLURAL).

Issues:
1/ I cannot get Breadcrumbs position to work no matter which option I try.
2/ Position names "position-1", "position-2", etc just don't make sense when viewed in the Modules list of the Module Manager. I previously purchased MyCommunity v1.6.1 and note the module positions are the usual "top", "left", "right", "breadcrumb" etc so why the change? Can it be changed back to the more descriptive module positions?

Does the template require Community Builder to be installed to work correctly? My previous installation of MyCommunity v1.6.1 on Joomla 1.5 is working correctly without CB and I may well use CB but I would like to first get the basic install working on Joomla3 the same as my previous install.

The latest release 1.8 of MyCommunity and Coolness follow the default Joomla template positions.

I agree that the Joomla template position names are not intuitive, but consistency might help people.

Thanks nant. Any idea what is wrong with the breadcrumb(s) module position? I tried having a look through the code but don't know enough to find the issue.

Are you sure you have the Joomla breadcrum module enabled?
