#42 - Finding your Joomla Template Positions

Today a nice handy tip, straight from the horse's mouth (the Joomla community team). Sometimes, you need to know which are the positions currently being used by your template. You can do this either by checking out the Module Manager in the administrator, i.e. viewing the positions which have modules assigned to them, or else use this tip.

In Joomla there is a hidden core function which once activated displays a layer on a Joomla website which shows you exactly the template positions currently used.

To activate this function you just need to add ?tp=1 to the end of your current Joomla address. As an example take a look at the following link: http://www.dart-creations.com?tp=1 As you can see, you can know see all the positions which are template makes use of. You can use this on any Joomla version, on any Joomla site and on any Joomla page (though you might need to use &tp=1). The following parameters can be used: 

  • ?tp=1 (for horizontal view)
  • ?tp=-1 (for no wrapper niew)
  • ?tp=0 (for normal view - no view of positions)
