Why don’t you publish it to user 1 position?
But if you search the threads here, I seem to remember a thread about adding a module position to the index.php.

Thanks for that tip that template actually had user 1 2 and 5 at the bottom of the page so I changed everything back to an original one.

It does look better on the top of the page though

Hi,
You can load a module directly inside your content/articles, you may find depending on the module output that you need to place the code inside a table or something to make it look pretty though. Here’s the instructions I cut & paste ages ago from the joomla forums ages ago for reference:

1) Go to “Site Modules” (in your admin area)
2) Edit the module you want to display in the main area
3) Set a position where no other module is, say “user7” *
4) Save that module (and make sure it is published)
5) Go to “Site Mambots” (also in your admin area)
6) Make sure the Mambo “Load Module Positions” is published
7) Create/Edit the content item that you will/have linked to
8) Write:

Code to put in your content/article (change the user7 to what ever module position you use):
{mosloadposition user7}

*Alternatively you can create a new module position by going to Site/Template Manager/Module Positions

EDIT: Also make sure that the module is set to display on “All” or the required pages.

I followed this step by step and it works like a dream
