Code: Select all

 border:2px solid red;padding:4px;

and publish it, you should see red box, somewhere.

hi, where i should add that CSS? In which file?

If you added new module what class did you used for it? Blank/Default, I don't think so? or I'm wrong.

So use and add to template.css (on the bottom)

Code: Select all

.mystyle {border:2px solid red;padding:4px;}

or add using style="border:2px solid red;padding:4px; " directly to <div> that surround you NEW module.

Code: Select all

<?php if($this->modules('myposition')) : ?>
<div style="border:2px solid red;padding:4px; ">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="myposition" style="<?php echo $this->module_styles['myposition']; ?>" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

If you enable module, you should see RED BOX

IMPORTANT:
CHECK YOUR PHP CODE AGAIN DO YOU HAVE ” or " - should be "
and ' NOT ’

hi,
i put the css us up but nothing happens...look here the page where i enabled the module: http://www.weblogo.it/web/portfolio-siti i would it was on top right (where is the login area)

thanks in advance

hmm, so send me a full access (super admin) to back-end + URL, I will check what's wrong exactly.

p.s.
Your templateDetails.xml - looks fine, so problem should be in "layouts/default.php" file.

First, sorry but I have to say it: You are unreasonable: Why you use Joomla 2.5.4 , this is not safe! at all. Please update to J2.5.11.

Second, without possibility to install one of those AceFTP or eXtplorer components, I can not check template file! Sorry.

or please send me your updated/modified file: gk_appsprotech\layouts\default.php

hi pawel in attach the file

let me know

i'm not sure if was attached... now with .zip

Ok, now is clear, your code was fine, but place where you put it not really.

Perhaps you are wondering why I think so. if you had published your links for registration and login - then your module would have appeared. See below, do you see "if ((GK_REGISTER.....)" :

Code: Select all

<?php if((GK_REGISTER || GK_LOGIN) && !GK_COM_USERS) : ?>   
   
       <?php if(GK_LOGIN): ?>
       <div id="gkPopupLogin">   
          <div class="gkPopupWrap">
             <?php $this->loadBlock('tools/login'); ?>
          </div>
       </div>
       <?php endif; ?>
      
      <?php if($this->modules('myposition')) : ?>
<div style="border:2px solid red;padding:4px; ">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="myposition" style="<?php echo $this->module_styles['myposition']; ?>" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

If I may suggest, if at this place you want to add a module, maybe use the ready position "lang".
All positions: http://joomla3.maxmark.pl/gk_appsite/im ... itions.png
p.s.
If it's still not enough, add your code below of any "if...." written in php.

ok, so definetely if i would add my position in the lang position what is the code?

thanks

no code, just add module in "lang" position, that's all.

hi Pawel, there is not the "lang" position. from the module manager i cannot find it.

what i have to add to the code after "if...." in the default.php?

thanks

That's strange, because in
gk_appsite\templateDetails.xml
there is a line with

Code: Select all

<!-- STANDARD Module Positions -->
    <position>lang</position>

Please insert it just writing in Position field.

p.s.
My (current) version of template is 2.15
