How can I have my event information and online registration in a MODULE POSITION on my FRONTPAGE of my JOOMLa site?

Thank you.

How do you position the menu in a module position?

Thank you. That can work, but I really just wanted to display information page and the online registration without going through a menu. I want the information page to be visible on the frontpage as the user visit the site.

Can that be done?

civiCRM can output code (it calls it the stand-alone form option, I think) that you can copy and paste.  So you make the profile as you want and then click that option and it outputs your code.

You'll need to download and install a module from the Joomla Extensions Directory that will allow you to put in code.  I use Sorcerer.   You upload it and paste in the code via the module manager.

This is how I made a module with a newsletter sign-up and a link to donate.

Thanks Chris and Dave. Dave you explain further please.

You could follow Dave's suggestion of making the event sign-up the front page (and remember you can still have all your normal collection of modules around it). 

Or you could make a link ("Click here to sign-up for x event!") right on the front page that takes you to the event sign-up page.  Once you know the url for the event sign-up page (follow the link Dave suggested below), making a link to it is easy and can be done in multiple ways (ie, you can make an article about the event which has a link in it to sign-up, you can use the menu idea as nithya1 suggests, or you can make a module with a link.)
