SHOW MODULE TITLE PROBLEM IN CUSTOM JOOMLA TEMPLATE DESIGN
Again let’s call to your attention a little problem with Module title not showing after you have designed your own custom templates. Normally the basic joomla template tutorial which many would tend to follow would show you how to go about your template design but after designing you may find out that your modules do not show titles even for the fact that you have commanded it to do so in the joomla admin .
Normally you will get a code like this to display module ‘<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”left” />’, to get it to display module titles just replace it with this one ‘<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”left” style=”xhtml” /> ‘
Notice that the only thing added there is only ‘style=”xhtml” ‘

I created a new joomla site and I don’t have a good design yet. But I hope your tutorial will help me a bit, but it looks complicated for a beginner like me.

Hello Mike,
When you have finished your joomla templates, follow steps below.
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="top" /> ( let that code go to the head section of your site, you want to use it to call up things in the head)
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="left" style="xhtml" />: ( put this in your left side to call up the left side modules)
<jdoc:include type="component" /> ( put this in the center to call up the articles and other contents)
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="right" style="xhtml" /> ( To call up the right modules)
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="footer" /> ( To call up the footer)
If you have problems please post it here.
Thanks

Hello Admin, I was wondering about joomla and custom templates, I have a custom template and I got a interesting bug, not sure if its because my modules are in a position that is not “published” in the main html of the template.
Anyway I have to load manually all CSS and JAVAscripts of the modules I need to load, (since I prefer to have more control by using modulesanywhere)
could you explain some more how joomla loads the needed javascripts..CSS and other stuff from the modules and plugins?

Hello Cesar,
If your modules are in a position that is not published, then i should believe your modules would not be visible, can you give us your link to the custom template or send us your code so we can take a look at it. I will always say that the best way is to take an example from the default joomla templates. Please see if this article here would be of any use.
