In these situations, you could use the tool FireBug to inspect elements and view the css entries.

The tool FireBug that is available in browsers such as FireFox and Chrome could be used for this purpose. With FireBug you can inspect an element in a web page and find out its css entries and in which file the entries are located. You could even change the css entries to see how it affects the look and feel of your site. Once you are satisfied you could incorporate the changes in the actual file.

Review the document http://docs.joomla.org/Tutorial:Using_Firebug_With_Your_Joomla_Website for more information about how to use FireBug.

The above reference to firebug is interesting, but a pointless answer to your question.

What you want to know is how the module user3 gets positioned on the screen, and how you move it.

The quick answer is that it will position itself wherever it occurs in your ./templates/your_template_name/index.php file. You edit this file to relocate it if you want.

Here's a longer answer that explains how the modules work.

  • You nominate the existence of a module (eg. user3) in your template's templateDetails.xml file using the <position> tag.
  • You add module code to your index.php in the exact location you want it to appear in your output HTML using:
    Code:
    <jdoc:include type="modules" name="user3" style="box" />
  • You assign something eg. a menu to user3 by going into Administrator/Extensions/Module Manager. Choose your module (eg. Main Menu), then 'Select position' to assign it to the position name you specified above.

In summary, moving the position of an existing module is as simple as editing your template's index.php file and putting it somewhere else in this file, but to appear, it needs to be referenced as a module position in module manager.
