would appreciate an update that would include a widget just under the top right menu (right aligned with the menu). i find that putting anything in the search widget section bumps the main menu down which doesn't work visually. A top right widget (under the menu) would be useful for newsletter signup plugins that typically contain more than one row (name, email, submit fields). Any thoughts??

Maybe in the meantime you could give me the css code to move the search widget to the right edge just underneath the top right menu. That should get me through for now. Thanks,

It's a custom work with adding new widget position, so for now I can't do this for you, but i check your site and think that, the easiest way is to positin absolute your gk-search widget.
Add this code to your override.css file:
Code: Select all
#gk-search {
position: absolute;
right: 30px;
top: 134px;
}

then customize top and right properties.

As a side note. the reason i like your template so much is that it can integrate a lot of widgets on top of the opening image slider. This makes the site very space efficient and also have a a high visual impact. :D This is a plus for me. On the other hand, I find that 90% of the templates out there use a stacking approach where they stack elements in a vertical format (like the http://drshawnadarou.com/ site). It's all up and down with no integration. Very space inefficient and low impact. The reader has to scroll half way down the page to do anything. If you guys start making some templates which integrate more widgets into the opening slider, you will have an edge. Here is another example of what i'm talking about. http://drjuliedurnan.com/ Notice the integration with the image slider, newsletter signup, log, menu, etc..?? That's what I'm talking about.

Thanks again,

J.

I try adding that code to the overwrite.css file but it didn't work. I have overwrite enabled in the control panel but it still didn't work. I had to comment out the original file template.css to get it to work.

/*
#gk-search {
float: none;
margin: -2px auto 0 auto;
max-width: 350px;
}
*/

#gk-search {
position: absolute;
right: 30px;
top: 134px;
}

It's weird, it should working without this fragment comment out.

Now you don't have this fragment comment out and it's working properly..

BTW Thanks for you opinions about template layouts, of course we will take it into consideration.

Found the problem with the overwrite.css file was the use of semicolons between exceptions. Do not use ; between styles in the overwrite.css file.
