Question: How can I see the module names and positions in my Joomla 3 template?

Answer: Follow the easy steps below ...

 In Joomla Administrator go to Extensions -> Template Manager

Click the Options button (top right). You should see the settings below.

joomla3-template-upload-size-limit

Set "Preview Module Positions" to Enabled and click Save.

Now the Joomla template positions will be shown on top of your template when tp=1 is added to the url.

Example: http://www.example.com/index.php?tp=1

 This is helpful when assigning modules to positions while setting up your site because it will give you a quick reference of the module names and positions.
Set to Disabled when not needed.
