Joomla 3.x. How to manage modules’ positions and assign them to certain pages

Modules in Joomla are used to output some content in desired places (positions). They can display objects such as menu, login form, text block, newsletter subscribe form, banner, search field, etc.

In the Joomla 3.x Module Manager (Extensions -> Module Manager), you can assign your modules to a certain position . You can see all available modules positions here. But please note that modules positions in Joomla 3.x are defined per template.

You can check the map with available modules positions on the preview page of your template:
