Cant add modules to Banner1?????

I am trying to add a custom module to banner1 postion. I show us around the header 1 or header 2 area but never in the banner 1 area . There is only this item selected for banner 1 position. It only had a photo and i have even sized the photo to 25 x 10px and still not working. How do we fix this?

Ok maybe I didnt ask this right. I want to place a banner in Banner 1 position when i do it does not show in banner 1 position it shows up near header 1 and 2. Is there a way to get banner 1 to show the banners or not? thanks in advance

Hi

Please show me Your site and point which module are we talking about.

Sure and thanks for the reply.here is my test site which is doing the same on the live site. http://www.swaggakings.com/oldsk/jupgrade/index.php/ggg banner1 is the postion and custom is the module. banner 1 should be up top right of the text that says Gamebox Mag.... but as u can see its not and no matter how small i make the logo i get the same thing... thanks for your assistance

Hi

To be honest Ithink it's working fine. Banner 1 should be displayed in this place, but if You want to move it please try add this to css:

#gkBanner1 {
float:right !important;
}

thanks. I dont fully understand why u feel that should be banner 1? here is a photo of the Gavick Template and what i have. since the ad shows below what is shown as banner 1 but in the general area i dont understand why u feel its in the right place for banner 1? will the code place it up next to logo as it should be? Thanks again

Hi

I'venever seen this map of positions. I'm using ?tp=1 to see the available. But You are right. Anyway this can be easily fixed with this code in css:

Code: Select all

#gkTopLogo {
float:left;
}
#gkBanner1 {
float:right;
}


Actually it doesn't work well and needs deeper intervention.
Here's my suggestion:

Open ../templates/gk_gamebox/layouts/blocks/header.php
and remove this lines:

Code: Select all

<?php if( $this->modules('banner1')) : ?>
<div id="gkBanner1" class="clear clearfix">
      <jdoc:include type="modules" name="banner1" style="<?php echo $this->module_styles['banner1']; ?>" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>


Them open ../templates/gk_gamebox/layouts/blocks/nav.php
and find this lines:

Code: Select all

<h1 id="gkLogo" class="text">
   <a href="./">
      <?php if($this->getParam('logo_text', '') != '') : ?><span class="gkLogoText"><?php echo $this->getParam('logo_text', ''); ?></span><?php endif; ?>
      <?php if($this->getParam('logo_slogan', '') != '') : ?><span class="gkLogoSlogan"><?php echo $this->getParam('logo_slogan', ''); ?></span><?php endif; ?>
   </a>
</h1>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>


replace with

Code: Select all

<h1 id="gkLogo" class="text">
   <a href="./">
      <?php if($this->getParam('logo_text', '') != '') : ?><span class="gkLogoText"><?php echo $this->getParam('logo_text', ''); ?></span><?php endif; ?>
      <?php if($this->getParam('logo_slogan', '') != '') : ?><span class="gkLogoSlogan"><?php echo $this->getParam('logo_slogan', ''); ?></span><?php endif; ?>
   </a>
</h1>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if( $this->modules('banner1')) : ?>
<div id="gkBanner1" class="clear clearfix">
      <jdoc:include type="modules" name="banner1" style="<?php echo $this->module_styles['banner1']; ?>" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>


Finally open template.css file and add this:

Code: Select all

#gkTopLogo {position: relative;}
#gkBanner1 {position: absolute; top: 0; max-width: 500px; right: 0; }
#gkBanner1>div {padding: 10px;}


This should work fine
