A question about creating additional module positions

I have a question about creating additional module positions. As an example of what i mean...

In the World News II Template there is a module position at the top of the page called "Logo" Am I able to create another module position identical to the Logo module position and have it sit below the Logo module. I would call this module Logo2.

Thanks
George

Hi,
please read this instruction about adding new module position https://www.gavick.com/documentation/jo ... -position/

Hi Konrad,

I have read those instructions. However it does not say anything about the module position that is being created. How would I give it the position below the existing logo module?

Try paste code of your new position in to layouts/blocks/logo.php . Of course you will need some css rules to align it properly.

Where are the instruction on Gavick for that?

In this article https://www.gavick.com/documentation/jo ... -position/ in last paragraph.

Thanks

I followed all the steps in adding a new module position but i cannot see the module position listed in the sitemap...I am using joomla 2.5, and the world news 2 template

I need this module for my 728px by 90px google adsense to the right of my logo. I have moved my logo to the right by adding the code in the Overide css in the template.

I followed the step by step instruction on
https://www.gavick.com/documentation/jo ... -position/ but i still dont see the module position

step 1 ......The first step in adding a new module position to your active template is to edit the templateDetails.xml file. This is located under the template folder. Once opened for code editing, locate the <postions></positions> tags:
<postions>mytop</positions>

step2: Add the new module position tot he template module styles by editing the gk.const.php file located in /lib/framework.
'mytop' = 'none'

STep 3: All template files are located in the layouts folder. Default.php is the default template view, and it contains code blocks located in layouts/blocks. The module may be added directly into the default.php file or to one of these blocks. Paste the following code:
<?php if($this->modules(‘mytop’)) : ?>
<div>
<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”mytop” style=”<?php echo $this->module_styles['mytop']; ?>” />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

I SEE THE MODULE POSITION WHEN I SELECT POSITIONS FOR MY CUSTOM HTML BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO TO CUSTOMISE MY CSS.............
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME???

I beleive you are missing the following...
You also need to add

Code: Select all

<jdoc:include type="modules" name="mytop" />layouts/block/top.php (or whichever block you are adding to)

The block will be depend on the template you are using.

<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”mytop” style=”<?php echo $this->module_styles['mytop']; ?>” />
