When editing a Joomla! module, finding the correct template position can be time-consuming, especially on websites with multiple templates, many module positions or complex layouts. JT Position Finder adds a visual “Find position” helper directly below the native Joomla! module position field, allowing administrators to search, preview and select available module positions from an accessible modal interface.

The plugin keeps Joomla!’s original module position field intact. It does not replace Joomla! core behavior, does not modify administrator template files and does not change Bootstrap or template assets. It works through Joomla!’s extension system and Web Asset Manager, following a clean and core-safe approach.

JT Position Finder is especially useful for site builders, Joomla! administrators, agencies and template developers who need a faster and more user-friendly way to manage module positions.

Main benefits:

• Find Joomla! module positions faster
• Search positions by template group or position name
• View positions grouped by template
• Improved search ranking for similar template names
• Exact template element matches are prioritized before partial matches
• Template element badges for clearer group identification
• See used and unused position indicators
• Clear “Current value” indicator for the stored module position value
• Select a position with one click
• Enter and use custom position values
• Works directly inside the module edit screen
• Compatible with Joomla! Administrator light and dark mode
• Designed for the Atum administrator template
• Keyboard-friendly modal behavior
• ESC key support
• Focus-friendly interface
• Screen-reader friendly modal structure
• No Joomla! core hacks
• No Atum template modifications
• No Bootstrap core modifications
• No external CSS framework
• No CDN dependency

Important note:

JT Position Finder selects the value stored in Joomla!’s module position field. Joomla! stores the module position name, not the template group from which the position was selected. If the same position name exists in multiple templates, the same value may appear under more than one template group.

JT Position Finder focuses on one clear purpose: making Joomla! module position selection easier, faster and more accessible while preserving Joomla!’s native architecture.
