[SOLVED] New module position

I would like to know how to add a new module position on the corporate 2 template with J1.5

I would like to add it to the right of the 'banner1' position so that the 2 module positions share a 80% (banner1) to 20%(banner1_right)... Values are approximate.

I followed some instructions in another post, adding a new position called 'banner1_right' in the templatedetails.xml file. Then found the layout block containing banner1 AND banner2 so I put it in there, before 'banner1' so it said something along the lines of what's below.

Code: Select all
<?php if($this->countModules('banner1')) : ?>
<div id="banner1_right">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="banner1_right" style="none" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if($this->countModules('banner1')) : ?>


Step 3 would have been to add the style code for 'banner1_right' in what should apparently have been gk_stuff.css (instructions were for a different gk template). I actually wanted to put it in the same file as the 'banner1' styling but couldn't find it anywhere in the templates css folder. The styling code didn't work in gk_stuff and the module didn't show up.

The module position shows as an option but that is as far as it goes....

Can anyone suggest to me where the styling for 'banner1' might be?

Any help would be awesome.

Thanks

Hi Norman,

I had already solved this issue and posted my solution... I have no idea why this has randomly re-posted itself. My initial problem (and solution) was for corporate 2 on J1.5 though.
