Akeeba Ticket System allows you to customise its pages by publishing modules in its predefined module positions. These module positions are not related to those used by your template; they are defined and rendered in the view templates of the component itself.
Go to Joomla's
, menu item.Find the module you want to publish in a custom ATS module position or create a new one.
In the edit page of the module, look for the Position field. It's in the sidebar, right below the Title show/hide toggle.
Click inside the Position dropdown, not its downwards arrow. You will see that it's a text field where you can enter free text.
Type the custom module position name e.g.
ats-top
and press ENTER or
RETURN on your keyboard.
That's it! You have just told Joomla to use a custom module position even though it's not listed in the Position drop-down.
Below you will find out what each custom module position is and where/when it is shown.
