SUMMARY
Introduction and Sponsor Acknowledgment:
Tim Davis introduces the video and acknowledges mysites.guru for sponsoring the content.
Invites viewers to get a free site audit from mysites.guru.
Introduction to Maintenance Monday and Services Offered:
Tim introduces Maintenance Monday on the Basic Joomla Tutorials YouTube channel.
Highlights his expertise in Joomla site building, maintenance, and migration.
Enabling Preview Module Positions:
Explains the feature to preview module positions on a Joomla site.
Guides users to navigate to "System" > "Site Template Styles" > "Options" and enable "Preview Module Positions".
Using "toilet paper = 1" to Preview Template Positions:
Demonstrates how appending "?tp=1" to the URL of a Joomla site displays module positions overlaid on the template.
Useful for understanding where modules are located on the site template.
Scenario: Multiple Templates and Non-SEF URLs:
Discusses situations where Joomla sites may have multiple templates assigned through menu structures.
Notes that URLs with non-search engine friendly (non-SEF) formats might conflict with adding parameters like "?tp=1".
Demonstration of Non-SEF URL and Workaround:
Clicks on a link demonstrating a different template with a non-SEF URL.
Shows how adding "?tp=1" directly after the existing parameters doesn't work due to the "?" already present.
Explanation of Parameters in URLs and Fix:
Explains the role of "?" and "&" in URLs to delineate parameters.
Corrects the URL by appending "&tp=1" instead of "?tp=1" to successfully display template positions.
Conclusion and Closing Remarks:
Concludes by summarizing the usefulness of "toilet paper = 1" for Joomla site administrators.
Encourages viewers to subscribe for more Joomla-related tutorials and signs off with well wishes.
