2. Changing modules position and applying class suffixes.
Our templates are supplied with predefined module positions, for instance top menu is placed on the
top block. That means that the top menu module should be assigned to Top position in the modules
section. Right after Joomla installation, modules are assigned to different positions, in order to make the
template look as it is given on our live demo you are supposed to assign modules to their positions and
change the class suffix values in the following way.
a) In the administrator section go to Extension Module Manager
b) open each module from the list bellow and assign it to the given position and apply the class
suffix to it:
