If you’re like me and you use Joomla a lot I am sure there have been times where you just needed to see the module positions and didn’t have a reference or documentation for that particular theme. Whether your developer was lazy or you bought the template, either way, I will show you a short cut. It’s actually very helpful.

Directions to View Module Positions in Joomla 1.5 AND Joomla 1.0:

1. Go to the URL where the site is live. (i.e. http://www.rehab-programs.org)
2. Append ?tp=2 to the URL. This will work for any page. (i.e. http://www.rehab-programs.org?tp=2)
3. If that doesn’t work, then try to append ?tp=1.

Done. Thought there would be more to this, huh? Well, there isn’t. You should see something like the image below after you append the ?tp=2.
