Creating a Module Position in Joomla! 1.5

First, navigate to Extensions>Plugin Manager> and make sure "Content - Load Module" is published/active. If there is a red "x" beside this Plugin, click it to make the plugin active.
The plugin you just activated will allow you to use a syntax such as "{loadposition left}" in your content item(s) in order to render modules. So now, we want to create a custom module position for EasySSP.
To create a module position for EasySSP, you will need to open yourjoomlasite.com/templates/your_current_template/templateDetails.xml. You should see an array of predefined positions such as:
<position>left</position>
<position>right</position>
<position>top</position>
Add this to the array:
<position>easyssp</position>
Save the file and upload. We have just created the "easyssp" module position.
Now you can create a content item within a category or a static content item if you prefer, and within the wysiwyg editor box just type {loadposition easyssp}. Go back to the Module Manager as described in the second part of step one in the documentation and make sure the EasySSP module is published in the "easyssp" position.
