How to create a new row and module positions

Adding a new row with custom module positions is really easy with the Elegance Framework.

In this example we will add a new row with a single module position for showing announcements on the website.

Step 1

Using your FTP client open the templateDetails.xml file located at the following path.

/templates/elegance/templateDetails.xml

Find the section where the module positions are located and add the following module position to this file.

<position>announcements</position>

Save the file.

Step 2

Open the template settings and go to the layout manager.

Step 3

Create a new row where you would like the announcements to show. Edit the row settings by clicking the settings button for the row you just created.
