In this case, the new template positions are different from the positions in the Protostar template. The next step is to assign modules that we have used in the example site to their new template positions.

  1. To find out what module positions are available, navigate to Extensions | Template Manager | Templates and click on the Preview link for the Ice Future template. The positions available in the current template are shown in the following screenshot:
