Alright so im following the instructions but its just not working out correctly.
I want to add LASTEST ALBUMS to the MC homepage in the Intro text1 area

I went into the backend, and created the module, and gave it a mod postion of "MC_home_new_artists"
then i went to the MC configuration, and in the MAIN tab i placed the "load postion - MC_home_new_artists" info in there

That didnt work
I then looked for a module in my templage which i am NOT using and will not be using in the future
its called a postion of "user7"
i went back to my module, and gave it a postion of "user7" and set it to publish ONLY in the MC component.

THen i went to the MC Config Main tab and changed the intro text 1 area to include "loadposition_user7"

Ok guess what

in the inro text there is nothing showing
and
at the bottom of the MC homepage is a module attempting to show (its only showing a title right now) and its located in the templates user7 position


It didnt work out right because the module isnt showing in the intro text area but its appearing at the bottom of the page
in the joomla templates user7 position

now what am i doing wrong here?

    it seems like maybe you're just not typing it correctly?
    it has to be:

    {loadposition MC_home_new_artists}

    no underlines

    You would think so but this is what i have in the backend

    {loadposition mc_newart_home}


    now i can remove the underlines from the module postion
    lets see if that works
