I have created the index.php and templateDetails.xml file along with css and js and images folders then zipped it all and got it discovered on joomla 3.3.
Trouble is because I added in my index.php html code for the menu and a js slider which works fine with a link to the js and css in the head , the menu and header with slider are at the bottom of the page and I don't know how to position it to the top in my custom template via module manager or by going to menus and trying to place it in position of custom template. There seems to be no option like there is with other templates.
When I click on preview of my custom template it shows basic positions but there is none listed in corresponding elements I've created by just adding the html to my template.
