Installed identical templates in version 1.5.9 and 1.5.10 - the module position user3 does not display in version 1.5.10.

We need the security updates in this new version of Joomla and thus do not want to backup to version 1.5.9. Please help.

What is user3 being used for? I use it in my site as a top menu and it works fine whether in 1.5.9 or 1.5.10.

Main Menu, Top Menu, does not matter. Does not show up. Does work on version 1.5.9 though. Also, these menus work in position left just fine - in both versions.

Is there something we are overlooking?

Works fine for me, not sure what your issue could be

Very strange. Is it the same exact index.php file being used between the versions?

We got it to work - but have no idea what we did other than loading the new version of Airtisteer, re-exporting (found a bunch of new positions) and re-uploaded the template. :-D

Thanks for the quick response from all!

I know, we look at the index.php file to see if there was a difference - we found none.

Must have been something in the database... and after repeated back and forth between v1.5.9 and 1.5.10 something happened. I can only guess.

Hi

Works fine for me in Joomla 1.5.10, not sure what your issue could be but new module positions don't work. I create two new position USER 1 and USER 3 in index.php and TemplateDetails.xml but don't work.

regards

Hi,

I had this problem initially - my top menu was disabled and still had the generic Joomla! items in it. I just removed the Joomla! items and re-enabled the menu, then entered the menu items manually. It works fine now. Just adding this for anyone else who might have a similar issue.

Be sure the correct syntax of module position is:

<positions>
<position>top</position>
<position>left</position>
<position>right</position>
<position>bottom</position>
<position>banner</position>
<position>syndicate</position>
<position>footer</position>
<position>user1</position>
<position>user2</position>
<position>user3</position>
<position>user4</position>
</positions>

Did you guys have any error message when trying to display a menu on user 3? This is the one I get :
Notice: Only variables should be assigned by reference /.../templates/version1/html/mod_mainmenu/default.php on line 90

When you made the change, your site still had the old Cache,:-@ when it was cleared the changes showed up, Most people forget to clear the cache after they make changes and wonder why they dont see the changes right away, and then everything gets fixed without doing anything because the old cache finally expired.:-{}

Learned this the hard way Myself:-)
