I'm trying to understand how the module/position knows where to go. I edited the index.php in my child copy, and I'm adding the code for a new position, right, but it isn't clear to me at all ... how does it know where to go on the page? Is it in the order you put it in the "
Thanks for your comment, it sounds like you may be missing a step by not adding it to your xml file aswell. But ultimately if you want an easier way to do it just put this PHP code in index file and change the position name to anything you want, then just write that on your module. You will need to make sure you have these 2 lines at the top of your file // Import the necessary Joomla classes use Joomla\CMS\Helper\ModuleHelper; use Joomla\CMS\Layout\FileLayout; Also make sure your assignment on the module also is set to all pages or the specific one you want. Your version or template may also affect if this works Hope that helps
Pages = articles in Joomla, just different naming. If you create an article under content > articles then go to your menu, and create a new one, just select the type single article and then then choose the article you just made. Its can take a bit of time to get use to be overall can be quite straight forward
@@Sonya_Makepeace Yep, in wordpress the "page" section is a post type of "posts" but ultimately the same thing. In Joomla, articles and posts are the same thing, you create Post types by using Categories within articles, so you could create a category called Blog, and assign articles to that, and then create a menu item called blog with the category blog type. which would create a catalog type page. apart from that most single articles act as independant pages. Its all different naming conventions which do the same thing basically. the next thing you would need to understand is Position structure and modules, I have 2 videos on them on the channel.
Brett. You seem like a really nice guy, but your teaching style is... ugh. I'm sorry. I'm trying to be nice and I'd like to be helpful. I did not find the answers I wanted in any of your videos that I watched. Your videos feel, "all over the place". Not direct and to the point. I found this video, which doesn't even have anyone speaking but I found answers to my questions right away and I felt like the video was very clear and concise.

i'm going through all of the content before i download joomla but i'm only seeing joomla 5 thats being available to download
On Joomla site you gotta click downloads in the menu then view the releases for each version. 5 and 4 are pretty much identical
How on Earth do people get on with this crazy system? I can even work out how to add a new page.

@@wtwb So, to create a Contact page, it has to be an article? An article to me, is a Post.
