There doesn't seem to be a forum just for this extension, so I'll post it here.

I've read, and re-read, the documentation for the Grid module, but I just can't figure out a relationship between the grid position and the module that appears there. I've even installed the Quickstart so I can see how it's done in the demo, but the config of the module just doesn't seem to contain any logic when looking at the items that appear in each block. At least to me...

If I create a grid with 12 blocks, and then create 12 (for example) News Show Pro modules, I just can't work out how to make each module appear where I want it to in the grid.

I know where to set the K2 item for each module, just not how it gets into its position in the grid.

Any help would really be appreciated. I'm beginning to feel really dumb.

I'm using Joomla 3.x, in case it makes a difference.

In grid settings grid blocks for position enter the module position you want to pull modules from.

Such as;

If I have modules in module position "top1" then in grid blocks enter "top1". So then Grid module will look for modules in top1 position and load that.

If it makes it easier for you do following.

In each NSP module settings, in module positions manually enter module positions such as gridblock1 gridblock2 gridblock3 and so on.

In grid module settings > grid setup, in each blocks enter what ever you entered as module position. e.g gridblock1 and so on.

See you around...
