What is the difference between Quick Start package and single template installation?

Installing Quick Start package you get the same site as at the demo version. Quick Start package contains an entire Joomla installation and already configured Joomla template and extensions which we used on the demo site. Installing Joomla Template via Extension manager doesn't include sample date. You will need by your self to install and configure all extensions.

Module positions

Module positions are placeholders in a template. They identify positions within the template and tell the Joomla! application where to place output from modules assigned to a particular position. The template designer has complete control over module positions, creating variations between templates and the respective Joomla! default positions assigned to modules in the installation sample data.

For example, the module position POSITION-1 could be defined to be on the left side of the template to display a site navigation menu. So if a module is assigned the POSITION-1 position, it will be displayed wherever the designer puts that Left module position - not necessarily the left side of the page.

templateDetails.xml

The templateDetails.xml file contains all the installation and core information for a template, including the module positions it utilizes and displays. Here is a brief list of the commonly used names for the various module positions.

					<positions>
	<position>Search</position>
	<position>row-top</position>
	<position>topMenu</position>
	<position>Top1</position>
	<position>Top2</position>
	<position>Top3</position>
	<position>Top4</position>
	<position>Mainmenu</position>
	<position>Breadcrumbs</position>
	<position>Slideshow</position>
	<position>Feature1</position>
	<position>Feature2</position>
	<position>Feature3</position>
	<position>SidebarLeft</position>
	<position>ContentTop1</position>
	<position>ContentTop2</position>
	<position>ContentBottom1</position>
												<position>ContentBottom2</position>
	<position>SidebarRight</position>
	<position>location_map</position>
	<position>location_map_1</position>
	<position>Bottom1</position>
	<position>Bottom2</position>
	<position>Bottom3</position>
	<position>Bottom4</position>
	<position>footerMenu</position>
	<position>Footer1</position>
	<position>Footer2</position>
	<position>Footer3</position>
	<position>Footer4</position>
	<position>Debug</position>
	<position>position-0</position>
	<position>position-1</position>
	<position>position-2</position>
	<position>position-3</position>
	<position>position-4</position>
	<position>position-5</position>
	<position>position-6</position>
	<position>position-7</position>
	<position>position-8</position>
	<position>position-9</position>
	<position>position-10</position>
	<position>position-11</position>
	<position>position-12</position>
	<position>position-13</position>
	<position>position-14</position>
	<position>position-15</position>
	<position>position-16</position>
	<position>position-17</position>
</positions>

Although these are commonly used, it is up to the template developer to choose both a module position name and an accompanying display style. The addition of module positions, as displayed above, is implemented in between the <positions> and </positions> tags. In between those tags in the templateDetails.xml file, add the name of the module position in between a set of <position> and </position> tags.

Use and implementation

A Joomla template displays a set of modules added to a specific position using the <span>jdoc:include /> statement shown below (for further information about <span>jdoc:include />

					<jdoc:include type="modules" name="name of module position" style="xhtml" />

Visualization

It's possible to visualize all modules set on a template by calling the "tp=1" query string on the front-end.

					http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php?tp=1
