[solved] Style switcher movable?

Hello,

is there a possibility the style switcher to move from bottom to top in the tools position?

Regards, Thomas.

moving it to the tools position can be hard, because it needs a changes of the tools code (XHTML code and scripts), but of course it is possible and you have to move code from footer.php

Hi.
what i did:
In layouts/blocks/footer.php
I took the code

Code: Select all

   <?php if($this->_tpl->params->get('stylearea')) : ?>

   <div id="stylearea">

      <a href="#" class="style_switcher" id="style_switcher1">Red</a>

      <a href="#" class="style_switcher" id="style_switcher2">Green</a>

      <a href="#" class="style_switcher" id="style_switcher3">Blue</a>

      <a href="#" class="style_switcher" id="style_switcher4">Neutral</a>

   </div>

   <?php endif; ?>   

and put it in layouts/blocks/toolbar.php, just after

Code: Select all

<div id="gk-toolbar">   

Some style settings, and until now, works fine.

Hello dziudek and julianeuropa,

thanks for your feedback.

I have put the code in toolbar.php - thanks for this workaround.

Hi,

I am trying to move the switcher form the footer position to a module position. I know that Joomla will strip out the code if I add php to a custom module, so I found Jumi, but I get an error when I load the page after enabling the module. I don't have a toolbar position in my template (yourshop), and really just want ti as a module that I can enable, disable depending on what pages it's on.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Hi

This can be relly problematic. I know it's possible but have not idea of a fast solution. Please try to put in the module only this part, but I ma not look exacly the same due to the position in code change:

Code: Select all

<div id="stylearea">

      <a href="#" class="style_switcher" id="style_switcher1">Red</a>

      <a href="#" class="style_switcher" id="style_switcher2">Green</a>

      <a href="#" class="style_switcher" id="style_switcher3">Blue</a>

      <a href="#" class="style_switcher" id="style_switcher4">Neutral</a>

   </div>


Hi,

That was the first thing that I tried, which sort of worked, but only if it was also in the footer. However, because IDs are used instead of classes it was throwing a spanner in my validation.

Having said this I just went back and had the idea of removing the script from the footer. It still works! This is great because I haven't had much luck getting a positive response on a couple of forums.

A couple of style issues because it's in a new place but I think this one is fixed now!

TY, CB

can't you just set a negative value in pixels for the position? and then have it moved up ? i know it wont be like a module etc...
