Joomla templates have specific positions for publishing modules. Although it is always possible to create module positions in the template by adding the code into the index.php file of the Joomla template, it is best to let the Joomla webmaster understand the possible module position in the template. This tutirial post will let you know how to view all module positions.

Follow the step by step tutorial to detect all the possible module positions in a specific Joomla template:
- Log into the Joomla backend after entering proper credentials
- In the Admin Panel go to Extensions > Template Manager
- Click on Options and set Preview Module Position is enabled
- Navigate to the page in your web browser
- Look for any parameters at the end of the URL, i.e. after the question mark
- Carryout any of the following depending on the presence or absence of parameters
- If there are no parameters, append “?tp=1” at the end of the URL and hit enter
