[CUSTOM] NEW POSITION MODULE

hello
I'm trying to create a new module position, I follow the procedure but can not create the new position
maybe I create a new module? I do not understand!
I tried to add the code ( <jdoc:include type="modules" name="[myposition]" style="raw" /> ) in layouts/blocks/gk_head.php or gk_header.php
and add the new location templateDetails.xml, but I see nothing when I try to view it

I want to create a new position above all other modules, to put a banner ad.see the photo attached

What do I do exactly?
thanks

hey... please see this threads... flexsus pointed out very well how to make a menu in that exact area (using it for joomfish) this is done for mystore, but is the same on all templates...

http://www.gavick.com/forum/90-mystore/ ... html#61187

I will not make a menu but a new module position

this can also be made as a module position...

a small how to...

search for the <position> tag in the templateDetails.xml and add a new position. i've called mine for "myown"

Code: Select all

<position>myown</position>

open the templates/gk_mystore/layouts/blocks/toolbar.php (making mine for mystore)

and add this code

Code: Select all



   <?php if($this->countModules('myown')): ?>
   <div id="exp-myown">
      <jdoc:include type="modules" name="myown" style="none" />   
   </div>
   <?php endif; ?>


the div id is the definition you use for styling in the css files...

now open up templates.css and start styling and positioning your new module position

i made mine like :

Code: Select all

#exp-myown {
margin-top:-10px;
margin-bottom:10px;
text-align:right;
line-height:11px;
}


remember you can style it as you want...

then i published a custom html in that position, and voila...


hope this helps out a bit...

thanks
very helpful all ok, but with firefox the position module is not the same as internet explore
how can I view all browsers with the same position? i want the position of internet explore
Watch the result in Photos

Here's my suggestion:

After adding the new module position on templateDetails.xml file, open ../gk_party_freak/layouts/default.php and find this line:

Code: Select all

<a name="Top" id="Top"></a>


replace it with:

Code: Select all

<a name="Top" id="Top"></a>
<?php if($this->countModules('myown')): ?>
<div id="exp-myown">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="myown" style="gavickpro" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>


Since i'm making this example to work as banner, i will place there a banner 468x60px. Now add this code on gk_stuff.css file:

Code: Select all

#exp-myown {
position: static;
width: 468px;
height: 60px;
margin: 20px auto -80px;
}


Naturally you can change dimensions of module, if you need, but remember to adjust bottom margin (-80px) according to the height that you add to your module position. And for example you can also give padding value, background color or border style... what ever.

Maybe this works better.

Cheers

I also tried this procedure but the position is not the same between Internet Explorer and firexox
How do I view the position indentical position in all browsers, Internet Explorer, Firefox and others ?
thanks

please show me your site... it's easiest if you style it for firefox, and then overwrite dimensions in the ie.css file...

hi
I'm testing now seems that both firefox and explore position is identical,
otherwise I'll feel good to know ok,
you look at the site with browsers and later tells me ok?

Yes it's to set the font size. Not using the percentage value. You can put it wherever in css code. I always suggest using template.css file.
