[#7964] - Edit Module (Front end) Loses Module Position if Position not defined in Template XML
- Closed
- 25 Aug 2016
- Urgent
- Build: master
- # 7964
Steps to reproduce the issue
Assign a module to a custom position in the Joomla Administration, one that is not specified in the Template XML file.
Edit this module int eh Front end, and the custom Position isa not listed, causing the module to be aasigned to the first Position in the Position dropdown.
Expected result
The Custom Position should be retained. This will cause many customers issues.
The workaround is to make sure we update the Template XML file with the custom positions, but this is not needed when editing in the Back End.
Cheers,
Pete
Actual result
System information (as much as possible)

I am closing this issue as it no longer seems to be present in the current codebase as the front-end module editing only allows to choose a position from the current template. Thank you for your contribution.

Roland - I don't think you understood the issue.
Module positions should not be limited to ones defined in the XML file
in the front end editor, if you can still randomly create them and use
them from the /administration/ section without needing to be in the xml
file.
Cheers,
Pete

Reopening. As long as we support defining custom positions in the backend, saving the same record on the frontend should NOT cause data loss.
