Joomla Template Tutorial - Part 6: In Joomla Template, the important thing is jdoc tag. As you see at below picture, jdoc tag is a way load module, component, and head component (like title, description, keywords, etc). In this post, we will try to use jdoc tag.

I just rememberring picture that placed jdoc in blocks.

From the picture, you can guess the jdoc formula:

&lt;jdoc:include type=&quot;[head|module|component]&quot; /&gt;

So, open your index.php within mytemplate folder. Add following bold code:

< ?
// no direct access
defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );
? >
< html >
< head >
<jdoc:include type="head" />
< / head >
 
<body>
 
<table width="100%" border="1" bgcolor="#FFFF00">
    <tr>
      	<td 
colspan="3">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="top" /></td>    
    </tr>
    <tr>
      	<td colspan="2">jdoc:include type="modules" 
name="user3" /></td>    
      	<td>jdoc:include 
type="modules" name="user4" /></td>        
    </tr>
    <tr>
      	<td rowspan="2" 
valign="top">jdoc:include 
type="modules" name="left" /></td>
      	<td colspan="2">
        	<table width="100%" border="1">
            	<tr>
                	<td>jdoc:include type="modules" 
name="user1" /></td>
                	<td>jdoc:include type="modules" 
name="user2" /></td>                
                </tr>
            </table>
        </td> 
    </tr>
    <tr>  
      	<td height="200">jdoc:include 
type="component" /></td>
      	<td valign="top">jdoc:include type="modules" 
name="right" /></td>    
    </tr>
    <tr>
      	<td colspan="3">jdoc:include type="modules" 
name="footer" /></td>    
    </tr>  
</table>
 
< / body >
< / html >

The result, like this:
