Position Maps
Every Joomla! Template contains a number of POSITIONS.
Each POSITION has a unique name and is a placeholder for one or more Modules.
A Module is a mechanism for controlling when and where to present almost any kind of website content in a Joomla! website.
Published MODULES will not be visible in your website until they have been ASSIGNED to a POSITION.
POSITION MAPS for WYNCHCO Website Designs
In a WYNCHCO website design, the Position to which a Module is assigned will also determine WHEN it is visible, depending upon:
- the device and
- screen size
used by the visitor.
The Position to which a Module has been assigned will determine whether it is visible on:
- PCs & Tablets (landscape) only,
- Phones & Tablets (portrait) only, or
- ALL devices regardless of screen size.
POSITION MAP: PC & Tablets (Landscape)
Unshaded boxes indicate Positions visible only on PC & Tablets (Landscape).
Shaded boxes indicate Positions visible across ALL devices regardless of screen size.
Positions
These Positions are only visible by default on PCs & Tablets (landscape):
- navbar-landscape-top,
- navbar-landscape-top-right,
- top-left,
- top-right,
- sitebanner-right,
- navbar-landscape,
- landscape-top,
- left,
- navbar-mainbody,
- right,
- landscape-bottom.
OFFCANVAS Position
The OFFCANVAS Position (not shown on the above map) supports the publication of Modules at the edge of the browser window.
For example: a CALL TO ACTION message.
A Module assigned to the OFFCANVAS Position may be displayed at the bottom, left or right edge of the browser window.
Change visibility settings of Positions
You can edit or remove a POSITION Style Set to change which device any one Position is visible on.
For example, whilst the LEFT and RIGHT Positions are by default visible only on PCs & Tablets (landscape), you can change this.
