how do you create a new module position

how do you create a new module position without sparky?

ALSO if sparky is not already included in one of your templates can you install it to use to modify the layout?

I want to know if I will be able to do what i need to do before purchasing.

Thanks

To add module position in joomla you first define it in templateDetails.xml in <positions>...</positions> element, then you call its rendering by placing this joomla macro in place in index.php of template where you want it:

<jdoc:include type="modules" name="...postion name..." style="none" />

Sparky is in-fact an very flexible template. You can do setup it and export that as other template under different name.
