Hi,
please read this https://www.gavick.com/documentation/jo ... -position/

Thx.

I dont know what im doing wrong... I have made 2 new positions, but i cant see em on my site...Are you sure the guide is up to date?

@malaelan I guess you copied code from article. So please change ' and this " becasue they change and it doesn't work. How it look when you paste it:

Code: Select all

<?php if($this->modules(‘myposition’)) : ?>
<div>
<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”myposition” style=”<?php echo $this->module_styles['myposition']; ?>” />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>


and how it should:

Code: Select all

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


Hey again.

Yes i copied they code from the guide, the same as you used, but i get an error on the default.php file.

The i tryed this code

<?php if($this->modules(‘myposition’)) : ?>
<div>
<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”myposition” style=”<?php echo $this->module_styles['myposition']; ?>” />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

This time no error but i still cant see the position on the front site.

Im kind of a rookie in php, but i belive i did it the right way...

<?php endif; ?>


Its the same code, or im i missing something?

Look at quotation marks in

Code: Select all

$this->modules(‘myposition’)


and:

Code: Select all

type=”modules” name=”myposition” style=”<?php echo $this->module_styles['myposition']; ?>”


are diffrent and usually make issues.

Im lost lol.

Ok. My mistake I forgot that Game News is using Gavern 3.0. Please change code to this one:

Code: Select all

<?php if($this->API->modules('myposition')) : ?>
<div>
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="myposition" style="<?php echo $this->module_styles['myposition']; ?>" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>


Okay tyvm, the code is working, but i have one more question. I would like my 2 new banner pos. to show in left and right of the top of the site, just like on this http://www.tipsbladet.dk
Where do i put the code?

I think you have to put them at the bottom befor </body> tag and you will have to add them in css

Code: Select all

{
position:absolute;
top:0;
}

and for left banner you have to set left:0 and for right set right:0;

Oh my god

No matter what i do, i cant get the banner to move...Im not sure what code to use ;-(

i got it the right top of the site, but i need it to move closer to the design.

Can you give me url to your site ?

i have sendt you an PM

Unfortunetly access to page isn't working.

new pm

Please add class 'left' to the left div and 'right' to the right one.
Then please add to override.css

Code: Select all

.left,.right {
position:absolute;
z-index:1;
top:0;
}
.left {
left:0;
}
.right {
right:0;
}
#gkPage {
z-index: 3;
position: relative;
}


and remember to enable override.css option in template settings.

I want to make sure i undertand this .

Please add class 'left' to the left div and 'right' to the right one.

= add "left" in the leftbanner Module Class Suffix ?

If yes, i have done it all, but banners are stil stuck in the same spot, and yes i have copied to css. override and

enable override.css option in template settings.

no I mean add class directly in source code. When you are adding new module position. Becasue if you add it using suffix you will add class to the inner div.

Oh well, ty so much for taking your time, but i guess im just to stupid to make it work

When you are adding this code add class to div like here:

Code: Select all

<?php if($this->API->modules('myposition')) : ?>
<div class="left">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="myposition" style="<?php echo $this->module_styles['myposition']; ?>" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>


and that 's all.

We are getting close now

Now the banners are in both sides of the top....but not close to the template

how do i do that ?

For left module increase 'left' value and for right one increase 'right' one.
