new module position for AppSite Joomla 1.7

Hello,
I would like to add some module positions between the mainmenu and the userarea on template Appsite for joomla 1.7.
Is it possible for example to have the module positions top1 to top6 over the mainmenu?
If yes please could you let me know how to do that?

Thanks

Hi

An idea of adding new position can be tought here 1-general-discussion/86227-how-to-remove-the-top-menu-if-not-on-homepage.html#86555

To move top part please simply try to swithch places of the mainnav and top files.

Hello!

Thanks for your answer!

The link that you mention, it's for Joomla 1.5, no?

I have tried to switch the two files but it doesn't work (screenshot). In addition by doing that it puts all the top positions from top1 to top12 over the menu and I would like to put only the top positions from top1 to top6 at this place.

If you have other suggestions I am interested!

Thanks

Hi

The way to add module position is the same for both 1.5 or 1.7 please try to add some style to switched files.

By switching I meant to change it in /layout/default.php in this part:

Code: Select all

        </div>
        <?php endif; ?>

   </div>
   
   <?php $this->loadBlock('nav'); ?>
   
    <div id="mainPage" class="gkWrap clear">   
       <?php $this->messages('message-position-2'); ?>
   
       <?php $this->loadBlock('header'); ?>
   
       <div id="mainContent" class="clear">   
          <?php $this->loadBlock('top'); ?>
