Joomla: How to identify components on the front page?

Question

Hi, I am new to Joomla.

I know that you can view the position of modules that appear on the page by using '?tp=1'.

But let's say I don't know what each module that appears on the front page is. That means I don't know their ID, their name or what they are referred to as at the back end. I just saw the front page and used to '?tp=1' to see their positions.

Now in order to move them around using the back-end, how can find the name or ID or a certain module that appears on the front page?

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

First find a module by a position. For instance, if it's on the right side of frontpage, you can sort all modules in the administrator panel by 'right' position. Then, click on each module (edit) and look, in which pages they appear. If you have smth like Home page, and it's selected, it means it appears in your frontpage.
