Resolved Debug position issue

Votes

Hi,

I'm using t3_bs3_blank 2.1.3 version template with the T3 Framework 2.1.6 version.

I need to use some plugins that require debug position.

For example Sidebar slide tabs that require to be placed on debug position.

If I place de module in the debug position it’s not showing. I was trying with different other modules/plugins that require that position and I got the same result.

However if I put the Sidebar module in the footer position it appears in the correct position. I don’t think that is ok to use the footer or other position beside debug position for this kind of plugins/modules.

I checked the templateDetails.xml and the debug position is listed.

What could be the problem?
I appreciate any advice/help I can get.

Hi Bogdan,

Yeah, the "Debug" position is listed in the templateDetails.xml however it not loaded in any layout (by default). So if you want the position to be displayed in your front-page, you have to load it in a block then load the block in the layout you want display the position in. We recommend to add to the header block as the block is loaded in all layouts.

Example:

I load the "Debug" position in the header block, so I open the header block file - "templates/t3_bs3_blank/tpls/blocks/header.php" then load the Debug position to the block.

<jdoc:include type="modules" name="<?php $this->_p('Debug') ?>" />

As the header block is loaded in all layouts so we don't need the loading block to a layout step.

P/S: to load a block to a layout, open the layout file (templates/t3_bs3_blank/tpls) then use the code format:
